Ok, so this isn't a recipe. No I don't work for vitamix. However I would just like to express my sheer love for the machine. Many people seem to have issues with texture an consistancy of their sauces, many chock it up to ingredients and technique. I was one of those people. Was is the key word her.
I understand, buying a $300-700 blender would be grounds for divorce with many couples but hear me out. I GUARANTEE that I vitamix will change your sauce making life. Other blenders don't cut it, food processors are great, for salsa. I'm not making blanket statements here. I have worked in kitchens, I spend alot of money on kitchen technology and nothing has been more instrumental in my success in making all sorts of things (but for our intensive purposes ill stock with sauces) than my vitamix 750 pro( the most expensive model (aka not necessary).
You can achieve similar results using a food mill but you are essentially removing pulp in the process, and i have used a regular blender and a food mill and have had great results. Nothing can touch a vitamix. It's a big investment, no doubt about it but it can do soooooo many things. It makes penut butter. It make chocolate penutbutter, as of this morning it makes Mexican chocolate ancho penut butter(ungodly good). Best of all it makes the smoothest, velvety hot sauces. I'm not going to go into what else it can make as you can do that for yourself.
Anywho, if you have some extra cash and want to kick it up a not( especially if you do alot of sauce making) buy one. It's worth it and it carries a 7 year warranty. I bought mine at William Sonoma because they have a lifetime warranty on the featured products they sell, but you can get them cheaper on qvc or Costco.
Possibly the best purchase I've ever made. PM me if you have any questions about other things I use it for
I'm sorry if this topic has already been covered or is in the wrong place so MOD'S feel free to move it to wherever it belongs.
Oh yea what sparked this little rant was the batch of brain strain and defcon7 sauce I made yesterday. Fantasticcccccccccccc. Unfortunately I'm an idiot and didn't tak pictures of the process but I will be making two batches next week of a smoked applewood sauce with chocolate and brown morugas and roasted apples, as well as a Caribbean style mango sauce with yellow brain strains. I will post the processes for your enjoyment.
