I used a new immersion blender to make broccoli soup today and it worked fine until I decided to add some jalapenos and blend more thoroughly. After doing this, my first bowl (from the top of the pot) was delicious, but when I went back for seconds, the rest was inedible with a bitter, metallic flavor.
I had already learned that I should never use the Immersion Blender AFTER adding cheese for clean-up purposes. Also on my second blending, I let it touch the bottom of the pot and it pulled itself along the bottom of the pot with a vacuum before I pulled it up.
1. Is the bad taste the bottom of my pot or did I burn some of the broccoli at the bottom and the blender distributed it? Maybe blending cheese ruins it? I do not see anything burnt at the bottom of the pot. There is cheese, but when I scrape it off, it is not at all burnt.
2. I spit out the terrible stuff and washed out my mouth/brushed my teeth, but I can still taste it. Did I swallow something poisonous? The soup pot does not have a no-stick bottom. I'm not sure what it is made of but it is one of those large inexpensive chili/soup pots made for cooking things in heavy liquid so that sticking is not an issue.
Thanks for your help. I've drank some milk and had a tortilla to try to fill my stomach. I think I got only a tiny amount of it really (diluted in soup that I didn't swallow).
