Your Product Here

When you purchase a Cuisinart SmartPower Duet, you purchase a product that will last you for some years. Not like the gimmicks of the’As Seen On TV’ commercials that showcased blenders that at a hint of a button prepared fresh salsas and drinks while actors sat around a kitchen guffawing and promoting the products, the Cuisinart SmartPower Duet won’t go out of fashion or usefulness.

Like its sister product, the PowerBlend Duet, the SmartPower Duet features an interchangeable base that permits you to both blend and process foods with the same machine. Available in both white and stainless steel, the SmartPower Duet has electronic touchpad controls to perform all standard blender and mixer functions as well as the ability to heart beat at any speed. The Cuisinart SmartPower Duet comes with a 40-ounce glass blender pitcher, cover with feed tube and pusher with liquid dispenser, three-cup work bowl, stainless steel cutting blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc, instruction and recipe book and a limited three year warranty. The appliance is simple to clean also because all the removable parts are dishwasher safe.

Because the SmartPower Duet is both a blender and a food processor, you can use it for nearly anything! You might cook a whole day’s worth of recipes using your SmartPower Duet. Recipes are courtesy of Cuisinart.com.

Instructions

Insert the medium cutting disc ( four mm ) and use medium pressure to slice the carrot and celery. Remove cutting disc and insert metal blade, leave veggies in work bowl. Add onions and process to chop finely, ten – 15 seconds. Remove and reserve. Add the tomatoes to the work bowl, process to roughly chop, 10 – fifteen pulses. Stir into the reserved juices and reserve.

Add the beef cubes to the work bowl. Heartbeat to cut, ten – fifteen times. Meat should have the texture of a ‘coarse chili grind’. Remove and reserve.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan. Add the plants and cook over middle heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break up, and cook till beef isn’t pink, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 little spoon salt and 1/4 little spoon pepper. Add the milk and nutmeg, and cook, stirring often until almost all of the milk has evaporated, about ten minutes. Add the wine and cook till almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about ten minutes. Mix in the reserved sliced tomatoes and their juices. Simmer the sauce over very low heat, uncovered, for roughly one to 1-1/4 hours. Sauce will be thickened. Taste and season as required with salt and pepper. Serve hot mixed with freshly cooked pasta (tip : reserve 1 cup of the hot pasta cooking water to stir into the sauced pasta if too thick). Sauce may be made ahead and cooled, revealed, before being covered and chilled. Store in fridge for at least 2 days, or freeze for at least 1 month.
