“Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it.” unknown

On that subject, I often get the question “Do I have to use all that equipemnt? Can’t I just use (fill in this or that random appliance)? That pat answer is that I have tried and failed with a LOT of equipment and currently list what I know works. Will other equipment work? Maybe or maybe not, I don’t have a crystal ball. But if it is common (blender, meat grinder, etc) the answer is probably no, or more specifically, I could not get it to work.
