blimey o'reilly I can see this being quite good for soups and stews but otherwise it looks to me like a very expensive food processor/mixer.
You say it is a fantastic investment, I would be interested to know truthfully how often you use it at home. I cook a lot, but I doubt the processor or mixer comes out more than once or twice a month or that we have a one pot meal more than about once every couple of weeks. For blended soups it all goes in the pan and then is blended with the twenty quid stick blender.
At the end of the day you still have to peel, skin and dice everything before putting it in.
The way to minimise cooking on holiday is to BBQ most nights and get the other half to do it.
Sounds to me like one of those things that you would use constantly when you first got it and even go out of your way to use it, but then a year later it would be sat in the back of the cupboard with the bread maker and George Foreman grill.
For that sort of money I would be wanting to throw in a cow and a load of vegetables at one end and for a roast dinner to be spat out the other.
I've used it 6 times today - soup, Thai rice, bread rolls, Victoria sponge, strawberry sorbet and a gratin. I've had it 4 years and am delighted with it - don't have to resort to ready meals which makes me happy as a mother. Each for their own - I bought it largely by selling the gadgets that I DO keep in the cupboard.
Just wondered if anyone else was using one on a campsite as I am a newbie with EHU.
Personally I think that is a bit OTT. Almost like saying to minimise time washing up I brought my dishwasher along :-) but as you said each to their own. Do you know what the ampage/watts are as you may have issues at some campsites?
