Default Cauliflower puree revisited

Pureeing sounds like a lot of work. I like chopped steamed cauliflower with
spaghetti sauce and grated cheese.

I don't miss potatoes. I like the taste of cauliflower.

Truffle oil? I have never tried it.

Try a stick blender, makes short work of it.

I don't consider even using a food processor a lot
of work. It's one more thing to clean, but that's
about it. I find a lot of people have an aversion to
using a food processor at all. One of my friends
gave me his 10 years ago because they never use
it. I use it frequently, so much so that it's nearing
it's end-of-life, has developed cracks in the container.

Having the food processor opened up a whole new
avenue of food preparation and techniques I had not
used before.. An example is short ribs. I used to
rough cut the vegetables and then strain the sauce
at the end. Now I use the food processor to get the
vegs down to a sofrito like consistency and it becomes
part of the sauce, so you have small pieces of the
vegs, smaller than a pea, left in the sauce. Makes
the dish heartier, more rustic.

I also have a cordless stick blender.
Being cordless I guess has it's advantages and
disadvantages. Based on experience, I haven't tried
it for anything like cauliflower. It has enough trouble
with soups. Anything much thicker and it cuts off.
I know the corded ones are more powerful. I'd like
to try one of the boat motor size ones I see on Iron
Chef! Like the food processor, once you start using
stick blenders, you find all kinds of uses. A classic
is dealing with mistakes, like if something goes lumpy
on you, like gravy. In 15 secs, its fixed.
