Premium Blenders for the Home User

Premium Blenders for the Home User

The two blenders we will cover here are the Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre (TNC) and the Blendtec Total Blender as these are the most popular choices for raw food enthusiasts. Having personally owned and used both blenders for a number of years, we will try to give an isight into each machine. Both machines are availble for sale through www.juiceland.co.uk so we are more than happy to stock them both.

Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre (TNC)

This was my first power blender and boy was I surprised when I got it home. The original TNC had a 750 watt motor which has now in 2010 been increased to 1000 watts. Firstly, it is a big old beast weighing in at just under 5 kilos and certainly took pride of place on my worktop. Well, I never actually got it to fit anywhere on my worktop, as it was way too tall – the cupboards above prevented me from storing the blender with the 64oz / 2L jug in place. Luckily, my kitchen was quite big, so storing the jug alongside the motor wasn’t a problem for me but with less counter space available – I would have found it to be a pain.

After running it in with a few smoothies made from fresh fruit, I set it to work on my first batch of hummus, the recipe was taken from the Vitamix cookbook which came with the machine. At first I was unsuccessful at making the hummus, the blender kept roaring like a monster trying to grind the sesame seeds and chickpeas, billowing black smoke and basically getting nowhere. The smoke wasn’t a problem as I had been advised this would happen as it burns off the excess grease applied during manufacture. Then I decided to start over and add the ingredients in smaller batches which this time the TNC coped with admirably. After this initial setback, I applied the same logic when making large batches for any future recipe.

The Vitamix TNC is a simple beast, 2 switches – 1 for On/Off and the other for Turbo power, then you have a dial which has 10 speed increments to select – what more can you need? When operating the machine, you switch it on and gradually increase the speed to blend the produce to the desired consistency and then switch off when done. The Turbo button is mainly used when making hot soup, just flick the switch and leave it running for 4-5 minutes and hey presto – hot soup! To be honest, being a miserly northerner I wouldn’t be using this facility much as the power it eats up is enormous – plus, I like blending my soup in the pan with by Bamix hand blender.

I happily used this blender for 5 years, grinding seeds, making smoothies, soups, sauces, cocktails. There wasn’t much it couldn’t cope with, although blending things like buckwheat sprouts did cause it stress. I intended to upgrade to the Vitamix Vita-Prep 3 when finances allowed, this is the commercial model with a bigger motor. Then came along …….

The Blendtec Total Blender

This blender is in total contrast to the Vitamix TNC with a much smaller footprint and not as tall as its counterpart – allowing it to be stored in my kitchen with the jug in place. There’s no switches or dials here, just a LCD screen and touch panel – a blender for the modern kitchen!

The original model I received was the 64oz / 2L jug with 3″ blade and 1500 watt motor, that’s twice as powerful than the Vitamix. The jug is square in shape unlike the round Vitamix one. Apparently, this means you don’t need a tamper – although I never actually used the tamper with the Vitamix and means you don’t need an extra dry jug to process dry ingredients like seed – well I never needed the dry jug for dry ingredients with the Vitamix either.

Blendtec blenders work like no other blender, they use cycles to perform each task. A cycle is a set process which runs for a certain period of time and the speed can vary or remain constant during the chosen cycle. For instance, say the cycle is 30 seconds – the blender will start on speed 2 and increase up to speed 8 before decreasing again to speed 2 and then stopping at the end of cycle. There are 25 cycles to choose form to suit the particular task you are performing, these are selected via the menus which are viewed on the LCD screen. It also has up and down arrows with 10 speed settings so you can manually take control of the blender.

So how did it perform? … Well, fantastic really. You can feel the extra power in this motor as it worked its way through tougher ingredients easier than the Vitamix could. Although, on recipes like fruit smoothies – I honestly wouldn’t be able to say one was better than the other but when it came to the buckwheat sprouts and hummus recipe, this is where I noticed the difference.

Recently Blendtec released the 96oz Wildside 5 sided jug with 4″ blades which I set to use immediately. The performance from this jug is second to none, especially when blending green smoothies – check out the video demonstration from RawFoodWorld here.

I also like the fact you can set the Blendtec blender to go and walk away to do something else and come back to find it finished. This allows me more time to do other things without standing in front of the blender waiting for it to finish so I can switch it off.

All Blendtec blender jugs are no longer made from polycarbonate as more and more evidence suggest polycarbonate to be a toxic compound causing cancer. They are now classed as BPA Free (Bisphenol-A).

So in conclusion, I now find myself with the Blendtec Total Blender in my kitchen as I just find it suits my needs more then the Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre. This is not a personal assault on the Vitamix, on the contrary I was 90% happy with it for over 5 years. Blendtec have moved with the times and produced a blender for the 21st century whilst encompassing consumer demand for less toxic products.

You can then change on the smoothie creator, I usually turn mine up to complete pace in order to get the most clean consume and after a minute or so, you can either detatch the jug and pour or use the dispenser to empty into a glass and take pleasure in.

TV continues to Advance

TV continues to Advance

Vogel’s is known worldwide as a supplier of a variety of supports for audio and video equipment.  It is hard to believe that the company started quite recently, in 1973, as a small family business in the Netherlands. The initial product produced by Vogel’s was a loudspeaker support, and over the last few decades they have introduced some amazing and innovative products to the market.  Items such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and plasma screen brackets, video equipment supports and other similar furnishings are used not only in private homes, but also in places such as airports, rail stations, shopping centres and hospitals.            

Vogel’s attribute their success to their company values.  They aim to bring innovative, high quality solutions to their clients, and produce stylish and functional items.  Vogel TV brackets are designed with the television owner in mind; increasing numbers of people are now wall mounting flat screens for both convenience and appearance.  Vogel TV brackets should allow for great presentation and enable mounting in an area which maximises viewing experience.  Vogel’s are committed to quality, and ensure that they have fully researched customer needs so that each product provides complete satisfaction.  The fact they recognise that theirs is a competitive market shows that they are aware that their products need to be exceptional to stand out.  The fact that Vogel TV brackets are so well known is testament to the fact that they are able to provide items which appeal to customers and meet their needs.

Technology is constantly progressing, some of the gadgets we have today may seem almost unbelievable to people from just a few generations ago.  It seems more than likely that these advances will continue at a fast pace over the next few years.  Television is only a relatively recent invention, and many people can still remember a time when they did not own a single set, or acquired their first black and white model.  Until recently, almost everyone owned a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) set, but these were bulky, took up a lot of space and did not provide exceptional picture quality.  Modern flat screens have caught on very fast, and their stylish appearance and the fact they can be placed on the wall, and most people who need to replace a TV no longer choose CRT models.  HD (High Definition) channels are already available, as are HD DVDs and DVD players.  Games consoles have ever better graphics.  It is reasonable to think that in the near future the need to HD television sets will increase.

Vogel TV brackets are designed to meet changing consumer needs, and have provided good quality and reliability for over 35 years.  As television continues to evolve, companies such as Vogel’s should continue to provide furnishings, brackets and mounting solutions for all kinds of situations.  Modern homes are often full of gadgets – fancy radios, smoothie makers, games consoles, but none tend to be used as much as the television.  Finding an appropriate mounting solution is important for the item which has, in many cases, become the focal point of our living area.

Nutrition in the Elderly

Nutrition in the Elderly

Nutrition in the elderly is something I am growing to be concerned with as I get older, especially as it relates to brain fitness.

Never heard of neurogenesis or neuroplasticity? You want to take care of your brain. I counsel folks about the impact of poor nutritional habits on their behavior.

I have looked for a magic bullet, the miracle supplement that would fight off disease and keep me young and vital, and counteract some of my nutritional excesses, like my difficulty in giving up processed foods. Gotta have that hamburger helper.

However in the last couple of years I have seen my mother-in-law and one of my wife’s aunts, who are not much older than I am face serious health challenges, which is a sobering experience.

I am watching dear friends my age put their lives on hold to take care of aging parents.

Julie and I have talked about what would happen if her parents were ill and needed to move out of their house.

So the issue of staying well is with us all the time, and I am looking to make changes in how I take care of getting my body the building blocks it needs to sustain wellness, which means vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytochemicals, glyconutrients, omega 3 fatty acid, ect., all those things we need to ward of disease and chronic illness.

I have always been good about exercise, and I have been much improved on the vegetable front for the last several years, and this spring we planted a bit of a garden, including four tomato plants which produced many more tomatoes than we could use, so even though I do not really like tomatoes, I juiced some with celery from our garden, and carrots, and I really liked the result, even felt a little better.

So now I am moving towards using my veg-o-matic to make some juices for my immune system and my brain fitness.

I would like to age like Jim Ward who finished the Ironman triathalon when he was 74.

At any rate, about a year ago, I saw a book advertised called The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge,MD, and he interviewed researchers who were making astounding discoveries about our brains, and what they are capable of across the life span.

It turns out that our brains grow new neurons everyday, which is called neurogenesis, and our brains are much more plastic than we ever new, which means my brain will reorganize itself in a healthy way each time I learn something new. It will also pare unused neurons and circuits which may not be so healthy, if it pares too many.

It also turns out that neurogenesis and neuroplasticity can be encouraged by attending to what writers in the brain fitness field are calling the pillars of brain fitness.

The pillars of brain fitness are physical activity/exercise, nutrition including omega 3 fatty acid and antioxidants, which you must get from the food for best results, sleep, stress management, and novel learning experience.

So nutrition is an important part of healthy nutrition in the elderly. If I supply my body the tools it needs, it is designed to successfully manage pathogens.

And the next wonderful thing is that healthy nutrition is very important in keeping my brain making wise decisions about its future.

Your lifestyle does not have to include triathalon style workouts or monkish menu’s to enhance neurogenesis and neuroplasticity either.

According to Simon Evans,Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt,Ph.D., who are the authors of Brainfit for Life the exercise level required for brain fitness can be done at home by increasing the amount of physical activity that you do, like the model that 88 year old Bill and 82 year old Pat use. No expensive club membership nor do you need equipment any more sophisticated than an exercise ball and/or a couple of small dumbbells.

Evans and Burghardt to into some detail about micro and macro nutrients that we need from our food.

The big thing to remember is that brain, heart, and immune system food must be natural, preferably grown nearby.

No more processed food, which is engineered for long shelf life, not nutrition.

I have always been a smoothie maker, and I am going to become much more of a juicer, having created some great tomato and carrot and celery recipes from our garden this year.

And since I have read Evans and Burghardt I have been taking my omega 3 fatty acid. What I have noticed from that is an improvement in my attention, and a balancing of my mood.

I take a supplement because getting the fish which are best for omega 3 fatty acid is expensive, and perhaps full of mercury, so a supplement, if it is refined to get the mercury out, is cheaper and more efficient. Cooking fish takes a bit more time than I want to put in.

The next pillars of brain fitness that Burghardt and Evans talk about are sleep and stress management. I have used a stress management and relaxation tool personally and taught it to my clients called HeartMath, which teaches me to change the chemistry in my body from adrenalin and cortisol to DHEA (the antiaging hormone) in a heart beat. Remember that my thought about an event brings my stress chemistry, and too frequent stress responses, or stress responses that last too long kill those new brain cells. Use HeartMath to keep the stress response available for its intended use. Otherwise, keep cool for brain fitness.

According to Evans and Burghardt important activities happen in our brains during sleep. That is when the brain makes decisions about keeping or paring newly created neuroplastic connections. If that paring or consolidation is not done efficiently, we will pay an attentional price.

The novel learning experiences most frequently touted by the brain fitness writers is learning a new language or learning a new instrument because those activities provide increasing levels of challenge and complexity for encouraging neuroplasticity.

However recently published research, to be exact, the IMPACT study has demonstrated the validity and reliability of one of the commercially available brain fitness programs, the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program. Call it brain nutrition in the elderly.

Both the participants, all older than 65, and over 500 of them, and the researchers reported surprise at what they discovered.

Since I do not have time to learn a new language, or practice a new instrument, I am using the Posit Science program, and it has made a very nice improvement in my word recall process.

And now I am off to the grocery store to get carrots and celery for a refreshing tonic.

All The Culinary Tools For Cooking Up A Storm

All The Culinary Tools For Cooking Up A Storm

A lot of people will have seen a cookery show featuring one of the many celebrity chefs and thought that they could do just as good a job with the right tools. A lot of us are taking inspiration from these shows and a recent influx of many foreign cuisines and taking a greater interest in the kitchen.

A lot of people who have had home improvements done to their home have actually spent a lot of money and effort on getting the kitchen that they have always wanted complete with all the features and appliances that they need to become the next Ainsley Harriot or Gordon Ramsay (minus the swearing!). People now have many helpful appliances in their kitchen to help out with cooking and other food preparation tasks such as blending or chopping up ingredients.

Many kitchens now have larger cookers and multiple gas burners to make their home’s kitchen look more like a restaurant grade version which can allow more food to be cooked at once, perfect for Sunday roast or the feast at Christmas. A lot of people will have preferences over whether to get a gas or electric cooker with many people choosing the fast electrical fan assisted oven but the more controllable heat of a gas flame for the grill and hob.

As well as the cooker there are other appliances such as microwave ovens that can help both reheat food and quickly thaw them out when you need to make a meal in a hurry. Just don’t fall into the temptation to cook all of your food in the microwave as microwave meals can be quite tasteless and mushy in texture.

Smaller appliances that you may only use occasionally can be stashed away in a cupboard to help clear counter space and de-clutter your kitchen, appliances such as blenders, food processors and even recent kitchen fixtures such as smoothie makers and health grills.

Considering how many people are designing their own kitchens and getting built in appliances to create a sleek attractive kitchen experience our kitchens have become more popular than ever, it is no surprise that the kitchen is one of the most commonly used rooms in our homes as many people not only cook their food there they also wash their clothes and socialise in the kitchen too.

Why Do We Overeat?

Why Do We Overeat?

Most of us like to believe we control the amount of food we eat. We trust our body to tell us when we are full, and that after we finish, we have a good idea of how much we eat.

But that’s not true. “Research tells us that certain subtle cues in our environment can lead us to serve more than we need to eat more than they should,” said Luigi Gratton, MD , vice president of medical affairs at Herbalife. “The greatest dishes including silverware to use larger ones – can lead to excessive consumption.” In an experiment in which participants served themselves ice cream:

Persons who received larger bowls and spoons were served 57 percent more ice cream than those with plates and silverware to serve smaller. So the amount we eat is usually decided before we have taken the first bite. The reality is that usually we eat what we serve, whether little or much. From a very abundant food in a fast food restaurant to a small part in a fancy restaurant, we were generally satisfied if we eat every last bite. Instead of letting your stomach decide, we allow an empty plate point to the end of the meal.

Controlling the amount you put on your plate is really the first step to controlling what we put into the stomach. But other signs may also cause overeating. Only see or smell food – from the smell of freshly baked bread to donuts – can stimulate the desire to eat, although you are not hungry.

Here are some ways to take control:

Think of a spoon, not a shovel! – It’s an old trick, but it really works – using smaller plates and tall, narrow glasses create the illusion that there is more food on the plate and more drink in the cup.

Single servings – These large boxes of cereal at a bargain price protect your finances, but studies show that with cereal you serve as much as 20 percent more than if you buy a box of regular size. Also search individual sizes.

Sweets out of reach – Find ways to make it more difficult to consume unhealthy foods. You may not make the effort to bake brownies when you feel like eating, but if you have the version for the microwave, you have to constantly fight the desire. Instead, put a bowl of fruit out.

Put variety, but not too much – Studies show that the more variety you have on your plate, you eat more – all these stimuli activate your taste buds. A mixture of fruits and vegetables which are low in calories is fine, but when confronted with a buffet or a family dinner, just a couple of articles on your plate each time.

Shake – Try a protein shake for breakfast or lunch. Made with a given quantity of milk, fruit and protein powder is an ideal food to control what you eat. Add some ice cubes and shake it to increase volume without adding calories. Enjoy a tall glass.

Gadgets For The Kitchen

Gadgets For The Kitchen

With that in mind here are some ideas for gadgets that you can have in your kitchen to produce tasty food and drinks.

Food mixers are a handy tool to have in your kitchen and come in different sizes and prices. You can purchase a handheld version for a very reasonable price which is normally around £30 or you can buy a more sophisticated model that is not handheld for around £100.

Many kitchens have food mixers and there are plenty of dishes that require various ingredients to be mixed. There are some great dishes that you can make with food mixers if you fancy getting creative and with them being widely available, they make a great addition to any kitchen.

Smoothie makers have been very popular with many people over the years as they are a tasty way of getting 5-a-day. Especially useful if children are picky with fruit as you can combine ingredients to make a tasty drink that is very healthy for them. Combinations such as strawberries and bananas, apple and pear and cranberry and raspberries are amongst the favourites but you can always try something different and experiment with other fruits to see what concoctions you can come up with.

Soup makers have been cropping up recently and now there is a wide selection available. With the winter weather set in there is nothing like a hot bowl of fresh soup. Some can make the soup within about 20 minutes so you do not have to wait long. Soups can be very good for you, especially when you include various vegetables in the ingredients as well as some meats.

There are also many different gadgets for the kitchen that are available such as carving knives that are useful when you are having a Sunday dinner with some beef or turkey. You may already have one from Christmas but if not they are a good investment and make cutting meats considerably easier. With a range of kitchen gadgets available you are bound to be able to find something that fits well into your kitchen.

Appliances such as microwave ovens are very handy in the kitchen and make cooking a whole lot easier. You can find deals on these and more including cheap cookers online.

Teaching Kids to Love Vegetables!

Teaching Kids to Love Vegetables!

We know vegetables are good for kids, but for some reason they just won’t believe us! Kids will find any excuse to keep from eating their veggies. They even get quite creative about places to hide them so we think they ate their vegetables! So what can parents do to make sure their kids are getting good nutrition that includes veggies? Just use a little creativity!

First of all, you should start introducing fresh produce into your child’s diet when they are very young. If your child grows up eating fresh fruit and vegetables, they will be less likely to refuse to eat them later in life. Now even if your child loves lettuce today, don’t be surprised if they don’t like it next week. That is just the way kids are, their tastes vary from week to week. But don’t worry they will like it again someday.

If you are having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables now, find creative ways to serve them. Younger kids love little finger foods so have a plate of cut up veggies with dip on the table during dinner time. You will see your kids munching away on baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and celery sticks. Something about having bite-sized food with a delicious dip gets kids excited about them!

One of the best ways to get kids to eat right is to disguise the veggies in something else. Do your kids like fresh fruit smoothies? Through a handful of spinach leaves in the smoothie maker and let them blend in with the fruit. You cannot taste the spinach at all and your family will get the good nutrition they need without even knowing it!  

Did you know that cauliflower can mimic mashed potatoes? Just cook about one to one and one half pounds of cauliflower florets in 2 – 14 ounce cans of chicken broth (you can add a few garlic cloves if you wish). When the cauliflower is tender, drain it but save the liquid. The mash it using your blender or food processor, you may need to add some of the cooking liquid back to get the right consistency.  No one will realize that they are eating cauliflower instead of potatoes!

Make soups or stews that are rich in vegetables. My daughter would not eat a vegetable if her life depended on it, but she loved my homemade vegetable soup. As a result, I would make large pots of soup and then freeze individual portions so she could eat it for a snack – and she would!  Small children love interesting shapes so put fun noodles in your soups. If you use alphabet pasta kids will enjoy trying to spell their names as they eat the soup.  

Getting kids to eat their vegetables can be a difficult task, but it isn’t impossible. Just use your creativity and never give up! You will win and they will love their veggies someday.

Food Processors and Food. 7 More Useful Tips

The following article contains 7 tips about food.

There is a lot of information about food and food processors online, so we thought that it would make sense to give you just a few tips to give you an idea of what is out there.

I’m sure that you will be pleased with what we’ve found out about food.

Tip #1

Modern food processors are made in 3 sizes. These are full, compact, and mini. Although the size varies, the basic operation is the same. Each has a motor, a bowl with a fitted lid, a tube to feed items, and some attachments. Different size bowls may be included with some models that fit onto the same base.

Tip #2

A food processor is a kitchen appliance that can perform a number of functions, including blending, shredding, grinding and chopping. This saves the user a considerable amount of time compared to carrying out these tasks by hand. Food processors come in two types – electric (motor driven) models, and manual devices.

Tip #3

Another thing that you may want to keep in mind when selecting your food processor is the amount of power it has. Any one you find should have sufficient power to perform routine tasks but if you need it for more demanding food processing there are professional models that have over 600 watts of power, which should get the job done.

Tip #4

The first thing to consider when looking at purchasing a food processor is how often you will use it, and what ingredients you will be putting in it. If you plan to simply make a fruit smoothie every now and then, then a basic, low-power model would do the job fine for you. In fact, you may even be better off purchasing a smoothie maker or blender.

Tip #5

For those of us that are great food lovers, a food processor makes our prep work in the kitchen so easy. My personal preference for a food processor is a Cuisinart, because of the superior performance. If you are not familiar with this brand, then do yourself a favor and check it out.

Tip #6

We all have many small appliances in our kitchens. Nearly every kitchen counter has a coffee maker and a toaster sitting on it. Included in this line up should be a great food processor. Preferably a Cuisinart. Cuisinart has the power to process and knead heavy bread dough and cookie doughs. Any of your favorite recipes can be easily adapted to a food processor. You can easily cut your food preparation time down a lot. Sometimes, the food prep time is what keeps a lot of us from cooking.

Tip #7

A food processor makes the work that goes in preparing to cook dishes, simpler, be it for the main course, or dessert or even soup. Food processors come with different attachments as well, which make it useful for other things as well like kneading the dough, making juices, soups etc. They also save lot of time and energy used in cutting, chopping, slicing etc of fruits, vegetables etc.

That’s it for the tips, I hope that you liked them.

Even though I have only shared 7 food and food processors tips with you, feel free to share this article with anyone who you may feel will benefit.

You should get a food processor if you don’t already have one. In fact, go out and get one today! Out of every appliance in my kitchen, it is my absolute favorite, and I use it constantly. In fact, I never put it away. I have a small processor for fast shopping or veggies and herbs and a large 14-cup processor to make all sorts of wonderful concoctions. So again, if you don’t have one of these marvels, you need to get one.

Tip #3

One tip that can save you preparation time is if you get a food processor with as wide of an insert tube as possible. The wider the tube is the less time you have to spend cutting down your food to fit it. Therefore you can shave some extra minutes off your prep time.

Tip #4

Reading real customer reviews can give you lots of vital information that no company will ever advertise publicly. Here are some of the most important aspects you will learn when you read food processor reviews.

Tip #5

We are too busy for our kitchens these days. Nevertheless. We want the same quality and taste of food as if we had all the day for cooking. And every problem comes with a solution. So, have come the Food Processors to aid you in cooking and making your experience in the kitchen not so cumbersome and very satisfying.

Tip #6

Our dependence on machines is so great that there is no area where they do not share our labour. The kitchen is a place where the food processor is the cooks’ right hand and the best source of help with the irksome and laborious job of cutting, chopping, mincing, grinding, blending and juicing. Cooking actually becomes a pleasurable chore when all these tiresome jobs are taken care of.

Tip #7

The first thing to consider when looking at purchasing a food processor is how often you will use it, and what ingredients you will be putting in it. If you plan to simply make a fruit smoothie every now and then, then a basic, low-power model would do the job fine for you. In fact, you may even be better off purchasing a smoothie maker or blender.

Tip #8

The other main difference between a food processor and a blender is the size of the removable mixing bowl. They are usually shorter and wider than those of a blender. This is more suitable for the type of foods which would be put in a food processor, which would typically contain less liquid. A food processor is capable of blending dry ingredients together, without the need for any liquid to help move the blades through the food particles.

Well…that’s enough tips for now. I’m sure 8 is enough to be getting along with!

I hope that you found these food and food processors resources useful, they certainly helped me!
