I wonder how this would work with other veggies if you had to chop them up. I'd think that, without the benefit of the impervious skin on the outside, the veg would get far too salty. Might have to...

Ooh, I wish it came in more colors, but I really do like the simplicity of the design itself. And good to hear the magnet is really strong. Would hate to be twisting it and find it spinning around ...

Great tip! My only problem with this would be if the carrots somehow didn't get cooked through enough or if the sauce wasn't strong enough to compete with their flavor. I ...

Problem with the e-cookbooks and the ipad in general is that you're going to have to purchase them all over again through iTunes. You won't be able to share them with friends unless they have the s...

My problem is dull utensils. I have non-serrated knives simply because I figured they'd be easy to maintain sharpness. I have a honing stick AND a v-type knife sharpener. But it doesn't work! I fee...

When slicing an onion, I never really have a method when doing it by hand. When looking for thick or thin even slicing though I almost always use my v-slicer!

Hmm.. I like the ideas, but having never eaten polenta it bears too much of a resemblance to grits to be appealing to my palate. I can't imagine serving grits for dinner O_O

Looks as if it is a stand to something.. I have a co-worker whose wife sells tupperware, I will ask!

Always always always hold the lid down when blending anything.

Hmm. My only concern with this would be the opening. 1, my cats might decide its a big salt lick, and 2, the Florida humidity wouldn't go well with it I'd think.

@syrupandhoney Every little bit helps. Why not have a lower calorie treat :D Anyway, I wouldn't make something like this unless I *knew* it would be eaten by others as well as myself.

Wow! I wonder if that is natural or if its been engineered so, but regardless how lovely.

Here's a comparison, done up really quick. ~400 calories per serving still is a lot for dessert if you're on a diet but its all in making sure its in moderation. Sure as hell better than ~800 calor...

I dunno gelatin cream 1 stick of cream cheese some sugar some juice is much much better than 6 sticks of cream cheese cream sugar sugar in my book.

Recently I've been making "soup/stew" for lunches at work. Its rather minimal work process after you prep the meat and chop the veggies, plus its super healthy. My veggies of choice ar...

Make sure with your downdraft that you are fully extending it. Ours will not start up until the motor has completely extended and "clicked" into place. That was the big mistake we made with ours in...

I'm going to try this and top with some sea salt once its pressed into the pan. YUM!

My parents have a vitamix and I was really excited to make "juice" when we purchased it. Unfortunately, unless you have a REALLY good strainer, your juice is going to be more like apple sauce.

I don't think I'd ever have extra dates - I'd eat them plain any day! :D

Recently I just decided to eat good wholesome soup to boost my diet plan because I can make scads of it ahead of time and can't blame myself when there's healthy food to eat. I went to...
