I watched this because Inga is so charming. However, I think it would have been more effective (and maybe more interesting) if she tried to make the same dishes with a cheap blender, to actually show why its worth spending so much on this thing. Because it seems like everything she did should be within the capabilities of most modern blenders.
The ninja blender which is around that price or cheaper will work better as a blender and also comes with a food processing top. Blender designs with blades at just the bottom are much worse than blenders like the ninja that have multiple layers of blades.
THE BEAST! I too fell for the marketing for this thing, and it is good for my purposes. The company was started by the same guy who invented the nutribullet. I think the best part of this thing is how it looks on a counter.
@@darrylyee409 On Korean cooking channel, kiwi was suggested as the only suitable substitute for Korean pears, but it does give a slight green colour to the dish. I've seen a lot recipes for Korean bulgogi and LA galbi that use both Korean pears and apples that are fantastic
I’ve actually used this blender to make baby food and I LOVED it. It was so quick and easy to use and had minimal clean up and it’s definitely the best blender I’ve used.
May have been a more effective review if this blender had been compared to another? Feels more like we are seeing (and enjoying) a video of blender recipes rather than a blender review for say
Because it's not a review, it's an ad for this blender. This one doesn't really do anything other blenders don't so there isn't any specifics to talk about. Not that I'm hating on that, they are a business that produces free content and they have to make money somehow.
@@FictionWeLiveIn this is not an ad! if it is an ad, it’s illegal because they don’t ever say it’s an ad (disclosure is mandatory in the us where ate is based)
@@FictionWeLiveIn it's not an ad nor review. the format of this series is just using expensive products for a month and considering it's worth. that's all. I'm sure there are many other channels that both review and advertise this product.
In Indonesia, avocado is more used as a dessert ingredient. Avocado juice (blended avocado + sweetened condensed milk + ice cubes) is a very popular drink. Or just cut the avocado up in cubes and mix in some chocolate/coffee/mocha syrup and crushed ice. Maybe Inga want to try these recipes for if/when she does 24 Hours of Indonesian Food only? 😋
This is a really good question that I'm still curious about. Running filled with hot water and dish soap won't necessarily clean a blender if it has deep ridges on the inside like this one, so I don't think this video is complete without answering this question. In the future, I'd prefer to always have the hosts of the video clean the appliances a few times and video the process and comment on it. None of us have people to wash our stuff for us. If it's dishwasher safe, great -- show that. If it's a pain to clean, show that too. It's important!
I agree, this blender does a great job and it put my heavy vitamix in the storage room. BUT it irks me that it’s so hard to get all the goodness out of this blender because of all the ribs inside it. I’m someone who likes to get every bit of my ingredients back out of the blender, so there’s that to consider. I love that it’s small and powerful.
After you get the bulk out, you can add water and shake it up. Now you have 2-in-1 flavored water without wasting all the goodness in the ribs! But I agree with you that smooth sides would be nice. Maybe the ribs add structure or help thing to mix?
Form over function. If you’re going to blow this much money on a blender, go for a Vitamix or BlendTec. There’s nothing the beast can do that a $30 Sears blender can’t.
I am a sucker for design! I have a vitamix and takes up a ton of space on my tiny apartment, I also don’t make huge servings. The magic bullet is also not as powerful for sauces and it’s looking janky now. I am happy with my purchase, it’s a great in between blender.
@@lnhart7157 yes, even second hand you’re looking at around $300. I love the Vitamix we have at home and it’s great for dinner party cooking and such, but it’s a very different thing. Portions for one in a vitamix don’t work in their standard containers.
@@fabe61 You can do servings for 1 if you buy the aftermarket 32oz or 48oz container instead of the 64, but yeah, it's difficult. My general strategy is to make enough for me and my girlfriend and for 2 leftover portions for one of us to take to work with my 64oz container, and that seems to work pretty well.
Just want to message on here as Andrew had mentioned before that he has Ukrainian heritage. If he has family over there, I am praying that they are safe and well.
right, this blender does what an extremely cheap does in the exact same way, a regular one is 700 pesos in my currency and like 37 dollars, this one is 3,200 pesos, so about one high-end personal blender AND a regular one AND an extremely cheap one. and the difference in efficiency is almost null in my opinion.
Legally, in the country where these videos are fimed and produced, they HAVE to say if its a sponsored post. Since she didn't name drop it more than 1 time I highly doubt it's an ad since she only referred to the blender as the 155-Dollar Blender. I wouldn't over think it being an ad tbh
@@pillkink Oh yeah, I completely understand that it's NOT an ad. I know these guys would do the legal requirements. Just saying it felt pretty overtly positive towards the blender. Not to mean anything negative in that statement at all.
I think some people are missing that it's a personal blender specifically. So for that price point it is on the higher side. Comparisons would have been nice, or at least more focus on the functionality/features that others might not have. This felt like a recipe book that comes with the appliance than much else.
I missed that at first. When I saw the title, I'm like "Yo, my Vitamix cost 200 bucks used" but I still clicked because I love ATE's content. When she got to the personal Blender thing, it made a lot more sense
In India, you can get something called the Mixer Grinder for just $ 40-45 and it basically does everything you mentioned in this video. Nearly every Indian household would have one in their kitchen! Next time try making South Indian Dosa from scratch :D
I love Korean pears. I prefer the taste and texture of them compared to the green, brown or red pears we usually get. I find the texture of those pears grainy but as you said, the Korean pears are similar to an apple. They are just all-around better to me, although more expensive. It's worth it for a good piece of fruit.
Tbh I pay attention most to blender durability and ease to clean the motor. I always have problem with blender rubber durability and lazy to use it because its hard to clean the knife/razor of the motor. Idk if modern blender dont use rubber anymore tho. If it is then its time for me to change my old blender lol
I love the passion and exploration you show in these videos! You make cooking look so fun that I want to cook something now even though its midnight haha
Wow, Inka is super pretty in this video!!! The skin, eyebrows, hydrated hair hahaha, everything! Loved the personal blender too, it seems very reliable
About To Eat: Hi Inga! I would love to see a compilation video with a bunch of blender recipes. I got one recently and I'm looking for things to use it for. 😄
Week 7/Day 60 of asking Andrew to cook for his next part in the series of : I cooked 25 pound of... Please use carrots and have your mom make you the carrot cake u have eaten for every year on your birthday and if possible please make 'Gajar ka halwa' which is an idian sweet dish made out of grated carrots, sugar, milk and different spices
I loveee this series of videos, always gives me so many ideas for stuff to do with my own version of the kitchen appliances~ Would love to see one of you try out the Thermomix! Basically like multiple appliances in one, and would love to see what you would do with it! 🥰
I like the overall feel of the video, but I would have hoped to see said blender compared to a Vitamix and a cheap blender, to see if it makes a difference. Cheers!
You sure this video isn’t sponsored? 😂 jk but she always has something nice to say no matter what 😂. Bury that’s why inga is one of my faves! She’s also honest and so kind but I love that she is so creative in the kitchen which I live to see ❤️ 👀
this would be so much better if it were an atk-style head-to-head of several brands. i only say that bc this blender doesn't technically do anything special or unique to blenders as a category; in fact, it _seemed_ to perform basically the same as my ninja. would be more clear overall in a comparison.
I already have a blendtec plus a little jar to go with it and I don't need this. I could see how it would make sense for many urban apartment dwellers. I really just watched because Inga's videos always calm my nerves.
Kind of would like to mirror the other comments that it would’ve been nice to see comparisons to a cheaper personal mixer or pro mixer with the same recipes
im from argentina where chimichurri is from and its not normally made with that many herbs, its more of like a garlic chilli oil with a bit of herbs, normally served with meat
I’m curious to see this compares with one of those 4 to 5 piece immersion blender sets? You know the ones that have a detachable blender shaft, mini attachable food processor, and a tall mixing cup for the blender shaft.
Hey inga you could try adding fresh lemongrass to the pork marinate for a brighter flavor profile and that is a good idea to put in the blender cutting by had is "arm day" haha.. try it and let me know I use it all the time for bun tiet nung "bbq prork with vermicelli noodles"
Immediate first impression when seeing the ridged cup - I'm already imagining it's hard to fully scoop anything out from there, and I personally always hate wasting food, even if it makes the overall texture supposedly smoother lol. Also seems like it would be annoying to wash
Yeah my parents still have an old blender that is square with a handful of shallow ridges inside the corners. It can be a pain to clean depending on the food you blended. Worse than this imo, but for my purposes that design knocks points in what I prefer.
Now Inga has a high end toaster oven and blender. And I could not be happier for her. She uses them well.
I watched this because Inga is so charming. However, I think it would have been more effective (and maybe more interesting) if she tried to make the same dishes with a cheap blender, to actually show why its worth spending so much on this thing.

Uuuuh thought 155 was the low end…thought vitamix was like $400. She makes videos and works for buzzfeed, she’s fine
But that’s the point of these videos. They are supposed to try expensive goods. Like the chopping board, knife and pan
this is a cheap blender
Yes you are correct
THE BEAST! I too fell for the marketing for this thing, and it is good for my purposes. The company was started by the same guy who invented the nutribullet. I think the best part of this thing is how it looks on a counter.
I actually picked it up because my nutribullets motor kept busting out so I wanted to see if this one was better, so far I like it.
@@kgal1298 do u still like it,
@@kgal1298 How is it? I'm also tired of the nutribullet so I'm on the fence about it . They used to be so good in the old days.
Korean pear is a game changer for marinades. If you like Korean galbi and grilling, that's the secret.
That's interesting. I never thought about adding Asian pear. My secret has always been kiwi. 😁

I don't really care about the blender, I'm just here because your videos are so nice and chill. :)
Inga could test out a 1000 dollar spoon and I’d watch
Another blender recipe: Steve Cusato (Not Another Cooking Show) has a roasted red pepper pasta sauce that uses a blender, and it's really good.

So this is a good video but we don't get to see how loud it is or how easy it is to clean or the wear and tear after a month of usage
this seems like it's really useful for small-kitchen, single-person cooking! will definitely consider it when i look into applicances
love Inga's look in this vid so much!!

Please make more "tell us what you made" videos, it's always fun to see everyone reacting to each other's videos!

Hey Inga,
How was the process of cleaning the blender?
Is there cavities that could potentially build up bacteria over time if not cleaned properly?
I usually clean my blenders with running them filled with hot water and dish soap.

Does the blender leave a lingering smell because of the aromatics? Wondering if I were to make a smoothie would I smell garlic? Lol
As long as you clean it well with soap, there won’t be any weird smell leftover :D
felt like a 17 minute ad for a blender T_T but beautiful recipes/food as always!!
A nice solid 60 seconds of content actually about the blender.
Wow she is so endearing to watch and I like her tonal inflections of certain words, I would continue to watch almost anything she is in.

Never hesitate to invest in high quality cooking products ! Especially since you’re using it everyday
Cheers from San Diego California

I wish you put the recipes for each item you made. It all looked so good.
I was thinking the same thing. I would love recipe for each of the foods she made in this video. So yummy
im from argentina where chimichurri is from and its not normally made with that many herbs, its more of like a garlic chilli oil with a bit of herbs, normally served with meat
Hi ATE team! I wanna suggest to may be do a kitchen tools swap between the casts and see what they can make using the kitchen tools
Korean pear..!😆 the ingredients that makes galbi marinades a perfection! 👍👍 I totally agree that blender is a really good tool when making a sauce!
the whole time i was just watching the process and forgot what the food was lol
*😍❤️Nice Preparation & Great Presentation❤️😍*
Would you be able to make a Dalgona coffee with this? Also, as someone with a hand crank coffee bean grinder, you had me as espresso.
Wow looks very versatile!!

What is the difference between blenders and food processors?
It's Cook's Illustrated top rated personal blender
I love these videos.
I’m wondering how the noise level is for this blender since I have a ninja that blends so 🔥 but it sounds like a plane
Always cute and your hair was great this time. Love to hear an experienced opinion.
i would love to try that avocado coffee!!! 😍😍
Thanks for this video 😊 have you tried making but butters by any chance?
Korean pear is great for cold after steamed and also among other recipes. I have been watching what Korean celebrities have been cooking up 🤗😅
