The 14-speed Blender
My wife purchased a new blender for us this evening (our old one being well on its way to that blender paradise in the sky). It’s certainly an attractive little thing, but what’s up with 14 speeds? Our old one had 14 speeds, too. When is it that critical that you rev your blender so precisely? And who decides that “shred” is more intense than “blend”, but not so powerful as “chop”? I think I only ever used two (or possibly three) of the settings on our old blender.
