Thanks for the post it reminded me I had bread rising that I needed to punch down before it got to the towel covering.....But back to topic, We have a cusinart...seems to work good but I do not like cleaning it. I have an old Osterizer and use that more....or one of the hand stick kind, I think it's a Hamelton Beach, but that will not get thru hard stuff. The food processor would probably be best for making Humas...
