Have you seen those plastic contraptions that have a crank on the top and have various attachments? The one I have is red and has a food processing blade, a flat beater, and mixer beaters. I got mine at a yardsale for 3 dollars, so I think I did pretty good. I have seen some black/chrome looking ones on infomercials with more attachments. Do you ever use these things? I use mine every once in a while, but I find that it is very difficult to clean and not as powerful as I would like. Here is a link to on eon ebay so that if you don't know what I am talking about you can see. If you have one, do you use it and how does it come in handy? Thanks.
