#mix-ins

Think of it this way: You're not making a salad with eggs - you're making an egg salad with complementary, highlighting ingredients. Besides messing with the flavor of your bite, going overboard with mix-ins can also spell trouble for the texture of your egg salad. If you aren't adding enough binding ingredients to support your mix-ins, you could be dealing with a salad that doesn't hold together on a sandwich and a mouthfeel that feels discombobulated rather than cohesive.

Making pancakes from a boxed mix is easy and convenient. But if you want something a little more decadent, grab a box of brownie mix. It's a simple addition that makes a huge difference in your morning routine. In just minutes, you'll have fluffy, ultra-chocolatey flapjacks that hold their own next to a slice of cake. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any lazy Sunday.

Instead of churning the ice cream like a traditional machine would, the Ninja CREAMi spins a frozen base until it reaches the right consistency. With churned ice cream, the mix-ins would be added before freezing, but when using the Ninja, you introduce them afterward. The appliance has a special setting for mixing in the chosen additions, evenly incorporating them into the ice cream.

When making homemade ice cream, the right mix-ins can enhance the flavor and texture, but caution is needed with certain hard and chewy candies.
