Stir It Up

Standing in line for our liquid breakfast may be virtuous, but it eats into our mornings like a hungry, hungry caterpillar.

So, when we demoed Breville’s “The Boss” superblender ($699.99 at www.breville.ca), we were duly impressed with the 90-second nut butter (an insanely delicious maple pecan blend) and 60-second green smoothie we whipped up with just the press of a button. Breville’s team of 50 engineers back in Australia has even perfected an innovative folding action of the blades, which means ingredients get incorporated properly and can go in in any order. Certified for use in professional kitchens, you can actually mill your own rice flour with this blender, should you wish.

But the best button of all? One that says “Auto Clean.” Now that’s innovation. —Sarah Bancroft
