![]() One thing I have to give credit to the Ace blender for is its exceptionally high quality. Sleek and durable Erika Rawes/Digital Trends It wasn’t as good as my cheese dip though. I pressed the soup button once and the gravy came out pretty good. I used a thin slurry of cornstarch and chicken broth, and added drippings from a cooked chicken.

Some of the larger broccoli pieces were undercooked. ![]() On my first attempt, I tried using frozen broccoli, and it didn’t come out very good. The cream of broccoli soup took two attempts. I chucked the ingredients in the blender, pressed the soup button twice to activate the high soup setting, and I had perfect cheese dip in about 23 minutes. It pains me to give away my super easy, lazy-person cheese dip recipe, but here goes: a pound and a half of deli white American cheese broken into one inch cubes, a cup and a half of organic skim milk, a four-ounce can of roasted green chilis, a half-teaspoon of cumin, and a half teaspoon of chili powder. Not to toot my own horn (beep), but the dip I made was even better than any dip I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant.

I even hid a serving of carrots in the sorbet, and my kids had no idea they were eating ice cream containing carrots. Using the ice cream setting, I made a tangerine, pineapple, and mango sorbet.

When you use a hot setting, the blender displays the temperature on the screen in real-time, and you can choose to have it in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. The blender then cooks the rice and blends it with the water and other ingredients into a milk. For the milk settings like the rice milk setting, you use the lower setting for ingredients that take less time to cook (think white rice), and you use the higher setting for things that take longer to cook (think brown rice). You can put cream, veggies, broth, and other ingredients in the blender, and it’ll cook into a soup. What is a pressure cooker, and how do you use it?
