You'll find it makes really nice soup with just the right amount of texture. I have also seen moulis with slicing discs so that they can act as a replacement for a food processor. Always useful to have something which is not dependent on electricity

The poorer person's soup making implement is the potato masher:

Hey! A Moulinex. Amazing they're still making them exactly the same as ever. My mother was given one as a wedding present back in 1952. Used it to make baby food for me, my brother and sister. I dont think baby food came in small expensive glass jars then. Probably what she gave us was healthier too.

I used one for making food for our 2 as well, but I remember it as being awfully fiddly. Graduated to the spud-basher as soon as.

Yer not wrong about the baby-food. Until quite recently (like, early 90s) they could put bloody anything in it, and probably did!

We just purchased one of these babies, a Vortex hand-cranked blender, and it's pretty good. I'm impressed. We tried it first on raw carrots and apples to see how much hard work it is. Have yet to try ice cubes. It does the job (liquidising) but yes, it takes a lot of effort, hence:

Save energy and learn what it feels like to really deserve that drink once it's made!

.

Still, no electricity consumed when blending soups, smoothies and sauces, so it's being used at least four times a week here at emordnilap zehc.

It's a very robust piece of kit although the jug seems a tad flimsy compared to the other parts. The handle's comfy and is on a spindle, no rubbing of the palm. The blades draw down the goods (hence 'Vortex'). It's very easy to clean - the blade part screws out.

The main drawback is it's on the noisy side but hey, so are electric blenders.
