Hi

 

Any member have a recommendation for a blender capable of doing ginger and other vegetables.  One that they have been using for a few years.

 

Shopee reviews etc... are great for knowing that the product looks as described but not how its working 6 months later.

 

Google returns blender recommendations which aren't readily available in Thailand.  If you don't have a personal suggestion, that's ok, move onto the next topic (please).

Any food processor will do as long as you cut tough root vegetables to smaller pieces before processing chopping them in the food processor.

@ezzra sent you a DM

For good recommendations you need to tell us exactly what you're planning to use the machine for.

 

So, what exactly do you plan to chop with it? Also, how finely do you wish to chop your vegetables?

 

For example, you mention ginger. so do you want to grind it to a puree or just chop it into a small dice?

 

You see blenders aren't really meant to chop vegetables. They purpose is to blend smoothies or homemade soup etc. Things that have a certain amount of liquid within them. The blades aren't really big or strong enough to chop vegetables.

 

Perhaps a food processor or a decent quality mini chopper might be more what you are looking for?

A good food processor can chop and slice vegetables in more ways than you can think of! But they're not cheap.

 

 

 

 

 

I bought a strong Kenwood blender at Global. works perfect. Even Ginger or Garlic, yes.

It's all about the power of the motor, and somewhat the blades. I have a ninja 1500 watts and it works great

You can order stuff from amazon.co.uk (for the voltage compatability) 

@rwill thanks for the suggestion. Who would have thought that would be possible. 

 

 

@Dmaxdan food chopper is more accurate. Ginger, chillis, and onion to make a paste for an Indian style curry.

It also helps if you add just a little bit of water. IMO

I have been using a Philips blender ( 5 speed ) for years to make soups and smoothies. IIRC, 800 baht at PowerBuy.

I use a Nutribullet 1000. I use it only for blending hard vegetables into a drinkable smoothie without chunks. I mostly use beetroot carrot and apple with ginger. The 1000 model may have been discontinued but they do a 900 and a 1200. Availability in Thailand, I haven’t checked.

Budget? Volume (of use)?

 

A cold press machine is ideal.

 

There are home units, and commercial units.

 

 

We've got a small Braun table-top food processor which does everything. It has a 2 litre pot with handle for easy movement and emptying. Its great for a small batch of tabouli, hummus, or curry paste. 

We've also a food processor that sits atop (as an attachment) our Chef XL Kenwood mixer which can chop, mix, blend, puree, and liquify anything and large quantities too.

Both cut finely, fibrous stuff like gingers, galangal, lemon grass.

Depends on volume you're blending.  One of the those 'bullet' thingys, for 1 or 2 servings at a time.

 

But any more and hard to beat a decent or even inexpensive food processor for just blending.  A bit more power is using for some other things, ex; bread making.
