There are hundreds of kitchen tools on the market, some that are ridiculous, some that are too expensive, and some that you actually need! One of the kitchen tools that are necessary in the kitchen is a hand blender. Don't get this confused with a hand mixer. While both can be used to blend or mix foods, there is a great difference between the two.
A hand mixer generally has two beaters and is larger; a hand blender has a slim shaft with a blade on the end. A hand blender can be used in pitchers, pots, bowls, and even some glasses while a hand mixer can only be used with larger containers. Hand blenders have a lot of versatility in the kitchen. Often times it will come with whisk and/or chopper attachments that make it easier to perform many tasks in the kitchen with the same tool.
This type of blender is a stick or wand-shaped device. It is meant to be immersed into a pot, bowl, or glass of ingredients. Another name for a hand blender is an immersion blender. You can use this blender to mix individual drinks in glasses. You are able to mix small amounts because you won't lose part of the ingredients inside of a large blender, mixer, or food processor.
This small kitchen appliance is comparable in price to many other blenders or food processors that you may be looking into purchasing. But while a hand blender can blend large or small amounts of food, the amount of food that another blender or processor may be able to blend depends completely upon its size. A large food processor is not good for blending and chopping small amounts while a small food processor doesn't allow you to process larger amounts of foods at the same time.
The various attachments that your blender may come with also add to its versatility. With the blender itself you can make your own tomato sauce or puree your own soups. It is also easy to mix up fruit smoothies with leftover fruit in your refrigerator. A chopping attachment allows you to chop up vegetables, fruits, herbs, and nuts while the whisk attachment lets you scramble eggs for fluffier omelets or make whipped cream, meringues or puddings.
Some even come with a wall mount. You simply hang the wall mount on the wall and it's available for easy access. This will keep it in sight so you will use it more often while at the same time, saving room in your cabinets and drawers. Even without a wall mount, hand blenders take up less space than larger, bulkier mixers, blenders, or food processors. Hand blenders provide versatility and practicality for your money.
