We found a used Black and Decker 12 volt blender at a consignment shop here in the states. Maybe their website would have one.

I am a little curious on what these boys could come up with.

A couple of pedal pushes and you can blend to your hearts content.

Taru, this from another cruising blog. Don't know if it's 12-volt . . .

"I know it seems counter intuitive living in a tropical climate and all, but there are just so many lovely, organic vegetables here from squash to callaloo to pumpkin - all perfect for soups - but we were missing one key ingredient: a way to blend them.

No more! When I returned from my short visit home I brought with me a little Magic Bullet blender/food processor that will open up a world of recipes for us. We had heard about this little guy before from many of our friends, and at just under $50, the price was right. Now we can make smoothies, salsas, shakes and soups to our heart's content. It's a great little gadget and, so far, I am so happy we got it.

thanks a lot for your tips, will check them all out shortly

Tough to justify the space but would be nice on occasion.

Do NOT buy a 12V blender. If you already do not have one you will end up with a 12vDC-120VAC inverter on-board. Therefore buy a normal 120VAC food processor / blender that you would choose for your kitchen ashore (obviously size is a factor). This will generally be cheaper, easier to replace and more versatile than a dedicated 12V blender.

Taru - I see someone already suggested it - but we have the Magic Bullet on our boat and, although it is not 12V, it uses minimal energy and it is amazing...tiny, compact and works like a charm for sauces, smoothies, dips, dressings...etc. I use it nearly every single day.

...in fact, I see now that that quote above is from our blog! Haha.
