Hi All ,

Did a new batch of base sauce using the revised Saffron recipe by sNs , after stick blending I wasn't to happy with the consistency so decided to re - blend using the jug blender on the wife's food processor , it turned out much smoother plus much lighter in colour 







Nice ! ;D ;D ;D

big diffrence ehhh

is there seeds or something that just didint whisk with the hand blender?

wonder if it makes any significant taste diffrence?

keep us all posted emin

Funny enough I was just blending a base myself - and I used my upright blender for a change. I don't know about the taste but the upright blender does a much better job at getting things silky smooth. I'm still cleaning up though!

No seeds jimmy2x just some very small particles of Onion.

I find the upright is a must if you are making a base with whole seeds, like the Ashoka.

The handheld would burn out long before the little bits of seed were no longer visible.

I've always used the blender after having tried the hand whisk once, it gives a much smoother consistency

looks like the oil hasn't been totally blended in to me.

There was 1ltr of Oil in that Base and I recovered 400 ml so 600 ml is in there , not bad considering Oil and Water don't mix
