Cuisinart Soup Maker Plus | Saute, Cook, Stir, Blend | Silver | SSB3U

Product Information

For more control, you can find soup makers with pause buttons that allow you to add ingredients, and stir functions so you can prevent ingredients from being overcooked. There’s also a manual mode with temperatures ranging from 40˚C to 99˚C and an eight-hour timer. Plus, for those who dread cleaning up after a soup-making session, it’s a dream. All the integral electronics mean that neither the two-litre glass jar or lid are dishwasher-safe so instead, there’s a self-cleaning programme to do the hard work for you, as well as a slim brush for scrubbing away stubborn debris. Speed isn’t always best; on test, we found that some of the faster soup makers left some fresh ingredients raw at the end of a program. Generally, it will take half an hour or more to cook ingredients thoroughly. With three blending settings, this machine took half an hour to make smooth and well-cooked tomato soup. Our chunky soup was also flavourful, but the butternut squash wasn't quite cooked enough.

Some models have dedicated cleaning programs. You simply add water and a few drops of washing up liquid and it will heat and mix the solution to clean the inside of the jug. However, this may not remove burned-on food. The Expert Prep Pro is our top of the range food processor, combining the very best performance, with total versatility. It comes with a wide range of accessories, for all kinds of food prep and includes safe and handy storage cases, for the blades and discs.How to choose the best soup maker for you What’s the difference between a soup maker and a blender? The Tefal Easy Soup resembles a kettle, with clearly labelled buttons on top and blades extending downwards from the lid, and its compact design means it takes up minimal worktop space. A downfall of this soup maker is that you can’t see your soup as it’s being made and there’s no sauté function, meaning you may need to brown some ingredients in advance.

Steam: Models with this setting come with a basket that fits into the bowl. Fill it partway with water to produce steam for cooking vegetables, fish, or potatoes. Noisy, Broke, Not fit for purpose Very dissapointed, I have had many Cuisinart products, however the product and customer service are a massive let down At Cuisinart our aim is to design products that make good food easier and more enjoyable to make at home. From the everyday pleasures like making fresh coffee, tea or toast, to healthy soups and grilled paninis. Reducing the need for extra kitchen gadgets even further, this Morphy Richards soup maker comes with built-in scales, so you can measure your ingredients as you cook. Cleaning: Add warm water and detergent to jug, set to 2 mins on simmer setting, then blend on 'speed 1' for a further 1 minThink about how many people you’re likely to be serving. Generally speaking, 400ml is one portion of soup and all the models on our list have a maximum capacity of 1.6L or above, meaning you can make enough for at least four people. Programs Preset programmes are ideal for taking the guesswork out of recipes, while a sauté function that enables frying at the start of cooking will result in a more flavourful soup. Blending options allow you to choose your preferred consistency, plus for extra convenience look for an appliance with a “keep warm” function.
