Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Homemade salad dressings never seem to mix quickly (must be something about oil and vinegar mingling in the same bowl), which is why BonJour released the Salad Chef, a battery-powered dressing blender. The Salad Chef features an unbreakable plastic carafe with several dressing recipes printed on the side. Once you add the dressing ingredients, merely push the button on the top of the blender and wait. Within seconds, the Salad Chef produces perfectly merged dressings with just the right balance of flavors. The unit is designed to fit snugly in your hand, and with its white top, chrome halo, and clear carafe, it even looks like a cool gadget. The Salad Chef comes with a recipe book with 10 additional dressing ideas. --Rivers Janssen

Product Description

Go forth and emulsify! Don't wear yourself out trying to persuade oil and vinegar to become one using a hand whisk. Shaking things up in a bottle can be a risky proposition too, all it takes is a slip of the finger and you and your kitchen will smell like creamy Italian vinaigrette for a week. Let this battery-powered emulsifier blend your dressings to perfection simply and easily. You'll be able to make dressings with no measuring, just use the fill lines on the side of the carafe or the interactive recipe booklet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Salads bored my family to death before Salad Chef, November 15, 2000

A Kid's Review

Like most people, I have always made the same salad dressings over and over. Part of my problem was that no matter how great the salad dressing looked, the moment i put it on the salad, the vinegar went one way and the oil the other way.

Salad Chef completely emulsifies oil and vinegar and for as long as I have kept the dressing in my frige, it has never seperated. In addition it comes with 4 salad recipes on the jar but the greatest thing is that it has a recipe booklet that comes with it that has another 10-12 recipes. To make the recipes you just hold it up to the jar and follow the lines. All cookbooks should be like this.

I love it and use it all the time. Also its battery operated so you can make your dressing in your kitchen, dining room or outside in the garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing really works, February 19, 2007

I like to mix up my own dressings, but it's messy to have to shake the container before every use. This product solves the problem.

Tips:
- I hold the vessel with one hand and the device with the other, using my thumb to press the button on top.
- It sometimes does a more thorough job when the blades are just a little below the surface and a bit off center. Maybe it's incorporating more air. But keep the blades away from the sides and far from the opening.
- If the recipe includes more water than oil, a thickening agent may be needed to combat separation.

Here's my reduced-fat sodium-free recipe (makes one cup):

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tsp Spike salt-free seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum

After emulsifying, the mixture turns light green.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it for what it can do!, October 10, 2008

By	Elaine (Delaware) - See all my reviews

This product works great for it's purpose, mixing. I use a hand held chopper and then mix with this. The best part of this product is the recipe book, specifically, the ceasar and greek dressing recipes. I have had numerous request because they are the best.
