beau's mama Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well, y'all know how it is...the addiction NEVER ends! Always something new to conquer. All I need is some lye & a flat rate box and I'll have no more excuses as to why I can't possible try CP(HEY SIS, ARE YOU READING THIS? )Do I really need a fancy smancy SB w/ lots of different speeds or is an ordinary 2 speed (hi/low) good enough? Do I need a seperate one for lotion & CP? I've got my eye on a KA immersion blender.TIAme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaOoooh that's good to know. I was at KA's site & the SB w/ the attachments was what I was looking at! And that's what I thought also...LOTION! I've been using the one I have for lotions, but I can only imagine how fluffy the whisk can make it.Now I'm off to price compare. I'm good on the lye. One of the many nice members here is getting a box of goodies (incl lye ) ready for their new home.Where the heck do you keep 50#'s of lye???

mystical_angel1219 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The best stickblender I've found comes in wild colors and is under 20.00 before shipping. LMAO! Mine is dark purple. It is a Wolfgang Puck- I will check the box for the torque on it. Multi-speed and the blades come out easy peasy. This sucker is the BOMB! Best SB I own~ but it is a bit heavy like the Kitchenaid. I bought it on eBay. I'll look for the seller and post it later. I believe it comes in red, pink, black, cobalt blue and forest green.

But 30 bucks or so sounds good to me too!And I'm such a dork! I got a another whisk attachment & bowl for my KA stand mixer off feeBay to make body butter with...never occured to me til now to try that w/ my lotion. So yeah, get that link posted woman!

wildangel112 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I couldn't do without my KA. DH has been talking about purchasing the Wolfgang Puck for me to try. Sounds like I may have to give it a whirl. Can't give up my KA though . Rena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']It isn't super heavy. A big longer as well.This one has 550W and 5 speeds. The seller I bought it from was ebay seller Dakmart. I found another seller- this is the model I have for illustration purposes.http://cgi.ebay.com/Wolfgang-Puck-550W-Immersion-Blender-Chopper-BLUE_W0QQitemZ310012572180QQihZ021QQcategoryZ20668QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, looks like I'm about to become a pain in y'alls arses LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAS Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 KA girl here. I got it in '05 and it's still going strong. I don't make tons of soap so maybe my recommendation does not carry a lot of weight. I like that it has nine speeds, does not incorporate bubbles into your mix, unless you tilt it. I have used the whisk like attachment for my trial butter blends. I like it. TAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 550W would have more torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
