[Guest guest]

I second Tina's enthusiasm for stick blenders! They are a must in the

kitchen of any cook and/or " kitchen crafter " !

Oh, a stick blender will change your life :-). To clean mine, I just

use a

bowl of hot water with some dish soap (Dawn for oily substances) in it,

and

turn the stick blender on while it's submerged part way in the water.

Sometimes its necessary to use something like a toothpick to get the

bulk of the

material out of the blender's business end first, but it's so worth it.

I don't have a stick blender. I use my Kitchen Aid for lotions and creams. I

can see for smaller amounts where a stick blender would be the way to go.

 

I guess I'll have to invest in one!

I have 4 stick blenders I use for my soaps & other products - bought them all at

garage sales and flea markets for a dollar or 2 each. That way I have a back up

incase one dies on me and they all cost me less than one new one. I've been

using the same 2 for about 3 years. Bought me 2 crock pots at a resale/thrift

store for $4 total, now I have 3 crock pots of different sizes for making soaps

and infusions, or candles.

I used to use a regular blender. Then I discovered the mixers at upland soap

factory. Linda Stevens is the owner of this company. The mixer goes into a

drill and you mix your soap with it. She also has fantastic molds. Most have a

silicone lining with the bar lines in it. Some of you may not be interested.

But those who are, check out her web site. These molds have made my soaping so

much easier.
