Braun Immersion Blender - Best Hand Blender Ever

One of the most handy tools in my kitchen is my braun immersion blender, sometimes called a hand blender. Immersion blenders have been around for about ten years, and do just about everything that a regular blender does. I have one of the older models manufactured by Braun. Braun makes a number of little home appliances. I also have their coffee maker.

plastic cylinder ergonomically built to fit comfortably in your hand with a twirling blade at the bottom. To mix, mix or puree, all you have got to do is literally submerge the blade in your pot, cup or bowl and push the button.

Nothing else to clean but your cup, but of course you’d have that anyway. The new models come with a variety of accessories and range in price from around $15.00 to over $400.00 by firms such as Waring, KitchenAid, and Conair. If you are making hot soup that should be pureed, you have three options.

wait until it cools and then pour it in little batches into your traditional blender, pour the soup in hot and take the possibility of scalding yourself, or, with an immersion blender you can just put the blade into the pot and off you go.

When you are pureeing, be certain to keep the base of the mixer at an angle to the base of the pot. Depending on the depth of what you are mixing you need to keep the blade about an in. above the base of the pot, and you need to move the unit thru the liquid as if you were gently stirring it.
