Getting too consumed in your everyday routine is common. We enter the kitchen, cook a two-course meal, clean, and wind up for the night. Often we forget to incorporate something different in our eating routines which often lead to less usage of kitchen tools and appliances. One of the kitchen machines that quite commonly stays tucked away in our cabinets is a blender. You may pull it out only to whip some banana or strawberry smoothies and toss it right back in.
However, spending some hefty bucks on kitchen electronics and not utilizing them often deems a waste. We know it feels like a task to think of unique uses for blenders, choppers, food processors, etc., with a busy routine. And this is why we have decided to help you with it. We know the potential blenders have to become a part of your everyday meal preps. Here we have some unique blender recipes for you to make the best use of your mixers. With these recipes, you can even give your blenders a permanent place on the countertop since you will often use them.
So, without further ado, let us look at some unique ways of making meals with blenders. You can also read a comprehensive guide to blender settings and speed here.
Fluffy Eggs For Breakfast:
If you love your eggs, like us, then this is a perfect method for you. We all know the trick behind getting the fluffiest of eggs for a hearty meal in the morning. The more you whip them, the better they taste. But why use your hands when you can so easily use your blender? And do not worry, it will not spoil your eggs. Crack the number of eggs you want for the breakfast into the blender and add whatever garnishing you feel like. Now blend the eggs until they are fluffy enough and pour them into the pan to cook. You can now add the cheese and veggies you may like to eat, and you are all done. Your perfectly fluffy eggs are set to be devoured.
Beat The Perfect Whipping Cream:
Most people hesitate to bake cakes, muffins, etc., because of the lack of appliances in their kitchen. You might have a blender, but the fact that they mentioned an electric mixer in the recipe will keep you from making the meal. But trust us, a blender can do what most other food processing appliances can. And hence, a blender can also whip you some nice and fluffy whipping cream.
When making desserts, you need to beat the originally liquid whipping cream to become firm enough to shape. Later you can use this whipping cream to garnish and decorate cakes and other desserts. But not having an electric beater should not keep you away from trying out the recipes. You can put the whipping cream in the blender and blend it at a medium speed. It is all it takes, and your whipping cream is ready. However, remember to use a medium speed on the blender since over-beating the whipping cream at high speed may result in curdling.

You can use this tomato sauce to make quick homemade pizzas. Just remember to drain extra water from your tomatoes before blending them in since this will prevent your sauce from being too watery.
