Directions
1.Grease an 8-inch springform pan that will fit inside the pressure cooker. Mix the chocolate wafer crumbs and cinnamon together. Sprinkle the crumb mixture on the bottom of springform pan, pressing gently to form the crust.
2.Melt chocolate and butter together and set aside.
3.With a food processor or electric mixer, process cream cheese until smooth. Add chocolate mixture, and process until mixture is well-mixed and uniformly colored. Pour in the cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and eggs. Beat well. Sieve cocoa powder over batter, and pulse or mix on low speed until cocoa is thoroughly incorporated. Pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Cover cake with a piece of waxed paper. Wrap the entire pan with aluminum foil.
4.Add water to pressure cooker. Place pan on the trivet in pressure cooker. Seal the cooker and bring it up to 15 pounds (high) pressure. Reduce the heat to maintain the pressure, and cook 45 to 50 minutes. Remove cooker from heat, and let the pressure drop on its own. Remove cheesecake from cooker, and let cool to room temperature in pan on a wire rack.
5.Remove cheesecake from pan, and refrigerate for 8 hours before serving

I get salad at a local salad place where you go in and choose your ingredients and then they put all the ingrediants you chose for your salad including the type of lettuce into a chopping machine. What comes out is yummy chopped evenly mixed ingrediants in a matter of seconds.

So I tried doing this in my food processor and no matter how little I tried pulsing it- it still cut the pieces of my salad way too tiny- almost to a salsa. Especially the leaves of lettuce.

What kind of chopper do you think these guys use? I’d really like to get one. I would totally eat more salads if all I had to do to make one was dump all the ingrediants in a machine at once and it spit out a nicely chopped salad.

Please don’t suggest gift cards because I think they are very impersonal.

- A griddle
- An electric handmixer
- Food processor

Someone help me decide 2 out of the 3 I should get. I’ve never had any of these items in my life. Give your opinions about each item if you can and which two you think would get used the most. Thanks!

So….yeah, I ended up with a bread maker (Breadman TR2700), a 7 qt 2 tier food steamer (Food Network), a 12 cup food processor (Food Network), and an electric skillet (Bella Kitchen).

After sales and coupons, I spent 81 for the bread maker, 26 for the steamer, 79 for the processor, and 11 for the skillet – was this a good deal? Or could I have gotten better for cheaper?

Here the link to see the picture.

http://www.amazon.com/Cooks-JCP-Home-cooks-Processor/dp/B003JVD7CU

I also purchased an electric converter ( Lewis’N clark ; 0-2000 Watt Dual converter kit; reduces 220v to 110 for use in countries operating on 220 V)
Its manual indicates that “For 110V electric heating appliances up to 2,000 watts and electronic appliances up to 50 watts.”
Here is a link to see the picture. http://www.lewisnclark.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=276

Are these two are compatible ?
thanks.

Do blenders shave the ice into a frozen drink? I’ve never owed one.

Also, if you have a good quality food processors will this perform the function of a blender?

Are all blenders "loud"? This one takes 7-10 minutes to blend a frozen drink. Sounds long.

Trying to decide between this, a regular blender or the magic bullet.

Is the magic bullet any different than a blender?
