Many Uses of a Hand Blender

Do you enjoy fruit blends?

Stick blenders are ideal for blending hot liquids like soups because you can cook and blend all of the ingredients in the same pot. Plus there’s no need to transfer hot, boiling liquids back and forth as you would have to do with a standard jug blender. 

A stick blender is fairly convenient. They are very small and take up very little space, and can be easily stored in a draw, or cupboard, or mounted on the wall. It's the handy but terrible gadget that come with a variety of attachments which make them suitable for many tasks in the kitchen.

As with any kitchen appliance, a stick blender should be properly cared for and you should pay attention to safety. Always use the shield on the machine and make sure that you start out blending at a slow speed to prevent splattering. Also, care should be taken when trying to blend ice or other hard substances like nuts. Why not use a standard jug blender for this task?


Use it to make quick smoothies
Using soft fruits, such as banana and defrosted berries, or canned peaches or pears would be great. Simply put what you want in a glass and use the stick blender to mix it up!
Use it to mix soups in the pot
To make creamy and foamy coffee!

 Just put the stick blender in your latte and watch the foam rise. My husband enjoys using his stick blender to make foamy coffee for midnight.

Get L'Equip Stick Blender with a Good Discount

Looking for a kitchen hand maid?

According to Dr. Gourmet, the stick blender is the newest, stylish and useful tool to make things easier for you in the kitchen.  It features a quiet, powerful motor and a sharp stainless-steel blade with a protective stainless-steel splashguard. which demonstrates variable speeds and the snap in blending attachment can go as low as 8 inches. Moreover it comes with one start and stop buttons and also easy to snap and attach ejector buttons. Accessories are an integral part with the immersion blender but depend on the manufacturers. 
I've seen this L'Equip stick blender online and reading everything about it, I can say it's truly the combination of convenience and efficiency. It crushes, mixes, chops, blends, whips, purees and minces just about anything with ease.  The slim ergonomic design means it is easy to use and it stores in a drawer out ot the way when not in use.  Plus it can be used in any container for large or small amounts and can be used for hot or cold mixing, it will even crush ice quickly. I  am impressed by the 10 year warranty as an indicator of its durability.

According to the wisegeek, it's design was developed in Switzerland in the 1950s. The inventor of the stick blender realized that there are some instances in which a blender or food processor is unwieldy, because the food needs to be transferred into a container for blending. However, a blender is highly useful for things like pureeing soup or emulsifying sauces, sometimes a whisk is simply not strong enough for this purpose. Therefore, he developed a blender which was designed for immersion in food, a rather neat solution to the problem.

I thank Mr. Inventor for his wisdom. His invention and design was truly a very neat solution when it comes to pureeing and emulsifying liquids. One good news is I can use the coupon which I got from subscribing and sending comments to Your Smart Kitchen website. Wish I can use the coupon in my purchase of an L'Equip Stick Tool. Thanks to them, they're selling a stick blender! I'm now convinced with this L'Equip brand anyway.
