One of the best gadgets out today is the immersions blender.
This magic wand can help in creating the creamiest salad dressings along with well
blended sauces. It is a must for every home chef.
I have the American Collection immersion blender I bought
from Target.com. As you can see it’s fourteen inches long and electric. The
motor is a powerful one despite its’ size.150 Watts, .
It’ stainless steel and plastic, which makes it easy to wipe off any splatters that land on the handle./
What’s amazing are those tiny but sharp little blades. I made a salad dressing that
had chunks of soy bleu cheese and those two sharp mini mini knives turned the
mix of that, mayo, olive oil and applecider vinegar into the creamiest dressing. To
be honest it would rival a store bought one for smoothness . I plan on using it
for whipping aquafaba into meringues and will definitely use it for my sauces ,
The only problem is cleaning the entire blender. There is a
break in the plastic that indicates it can separate from the motor but this was
hard to do. Unfortunately, I had to very carefully sponge wash the entire gadget.
Cleaning the blades turned out to be a dilemma too, thanks to the deep well
behind them. If I could have detached the bottom, it would have been much
easier. What I wound up doing was wrapping a wet paper napkin around a Q-tip swab
and then delicately cleaning the well. I’m going to buy a small cleaning brush so
washing and scrubbing any food residue will be easier the next time around,
The immersion blender should be a kitchen necessity. It is
one of those gadgets that makes mixing and blending that much easier in creating whipped toppings and creamier souls and salad dressings. This really
is a kitchen must have for any home chef.
