The Bosch

So for my birthday Brad picked up this Bosch mixer for me. It looked about 100 years old when I first saw it but with a little elbow grease and a dish washer it looks only 30 years old now. But it works great. It is just like the one I grew up with; a little bit of home in this far away country. Bonus: it came with a bushel of attachments that I had never seen before.


So, I decided to try them out. We have been getting onions every week in our CSA bag. That's great, but we use them really slowly and I have a serious problems with onions, the kill my eyes. So I like to cut a bunch up at once (or make Brad do it) and freeze them for later use. Here's what I did today.

onions- I had to peel, chop off ends and cut into quarters if large, but that's it


Knife blade on the Bosch, the lid has a chimney and a stuffer thing (you can see it in the above picture)


and a whole bowl of cut onions !


All bagged up and headed to the freezer.


This thing worked like a charm. I did shed a few tears but it was doable. Plus, I have onions in the freezer for the next year! They work great on anything you are cooking, soups, pizza, stir-fry, vegetable stock, pot roast, eggs...

There are also shredder attachments that I want to try, like for zucchini/carrots/cheese etc. I also am pretty sure the blender is way better than the one we bought at Target. I will try that out and let you know.
The other bonus, everything goes in the dish washer on air dry and your done!
Happy Happy Birthday indeed!
