First, mum read through the instructions and recipe booklet. The instructions are “fairly well written” but do not make it clear that the jug has to be lifted, not unscrewed, off the base. She points out that as many jug blenders require a twist and lift action to remove the jug, it might be worth making this clearer so there are no unfortunate accidents with hot liquid. The idea behind the is an all-in-one cooking and blending machine for making soups and sauces.

Yes, the jug does come apart from the heater element base but sometimes you need good strength and grip for this. The advantage for me is that there’s only one thing to wash up instead of saucepan, stick blender and jug. Inevitably I used to end up with blended soup up the wall, over the worktop and usually me! One further observation – the hot plate switches on and off at intervals to simmer the soup, with shorter intervals between if you want it on high; then it sits and looks like it does nothing . However it just works differently to a hob by allowing the heat to dissipate through the liquid rather than continual bubbling.

Kavey Eats was sent a complimentary soup maker for review by Cuisinart. When Cuisinart offered me one to review, I asked my mum, Mamta, to put it through its paces, as she regularly makes soups at home.
