We're enjoying the convenience of the Ninja having found that most of our everyday cooking preparation needs are meet with this one machine. We buy quite a lot of fresh vegetables from local food fairs and also have a vegetable garden which has several types of vegetables that are almost ready to harvest. This quick & powerful machine will make prepping the food to freeze for winter consumption a much more pleasant job. From chopping & slicing tons of vegetables, shredding lettuce & cheeses to making fresh tomato puree it's been fast, simple to learn & it's easy to clean the Ninja. Next we'll try pizza dough which is great covered with fresh vegetables. Great Machine.
