![]() While the motor on mine is still kicking, I have to imagine the blades have dulled over the years. Once it’s dry, I put it back into its little drawer, where it will be accessible the next time I need it for a quick cooking task.Īfter nearly a decade of almost-daily use, it’s probably time for me to upgrade to a newer, more powerful immersion blender. ![]() Every once in a while, it just needs a little more time or liquid (but even my Vitamix has issues when there’s not enough liquid in the container).Įven cleaning my immersion blender is easy: I make a bowl of hot soapy water in the sink and run the blender in that for about 30 seconds and then give it a good rinse. Other times, changing the angle of the stick can help create a more powerful vortex. On the rare occasion my immersion blender struggles to chop or blend, it’s usually because I’m trying to use it in a vessel that’s too big and the ingredients are too shallow to make full contact with the blade. I also sometimes use it for blending coconut oil into coffee (it’s good, I promise!). With those tasks off the table, my trusty old immersion blender shines as a versatile, time-saving tool that can handle most of my everyday cooking projects, including smoothies, steaming-hot soups and sauces, purées, salad dressings, and the occasional homemade mayonnaise when I’m feeling fancy. I’m also very content with store-bought nut butters, so I don’t need to pulverize peanuts either. So it’s not like I’m trying to cut butter into pie dough. ![]() This is easy enough for me to say because I don’t really bake, at least not if I don’t have to. And I don’t even have a fancy new model my immersion blender is a nine-year-old corded Cuisinart and I’d still choose it as my one true blending love (if I had to pick just one, that is). How much do I love my immersion blender? Well, if I had to pick just one small appliance for pulverizing and puréeing, it wouldn’t be my food processor, or my other food processor, or even my Vitamix. ![]()
