So this weekend I was surprised to see my new products arrive! I expecting them more like this coming weekend. Anyway, in an effort to use many of them I decided to make the mango salsa.... what's not to love, right?
Well, I had major issues with the MFP! I put everything in it that is told me to (sans the mango) and not only was the bowl almost too full (even though I followed the recipe precisely) but the blades would not turn! I was afraid I would break the handle, so I rearranged the ingredients several times, and even when I could get a start of a turn or two, it would clog very fast! I wondered at first if it might just be the jicama (kind of a tough/hard ingredient) but found that even when I cut that very small and re-inserted it the thing clogged constantly. I had to remove the ingredients and put it back in several times (very messy) and struggled through the whole process. The end result was a salsa, that while delicious, looked like hell! Some pieces were pureed, some were the size of a quarter! On top of that I literally broke a sweat!
Have others tried this yet? I seriously think that if I make this at a party I will remove the jicama, although that was not the only ingredient that got clogged. Also, it was very onion strong, so I fear removing the jicama may mean I need to cut down on onion, thus throwing the whole recipe into a tailspin.
Basically I was just really disappointed. OH! And to add to that, during this struggle I used the new small scraper as suggested with the MFP, and got a big slice right in the middle of it from the blades. I was really mad about that. I would NOT recommend using anything rubber in the bowl, unless you are VERY careful, which is hard to do when it is giving you fits!
