Stick Blenders

The stick blender is  such a versatile tool – it can blend soup right in the pot, puree fruit for hungry little tummies, and make mayonnaise or salad dressings for yummy weeknight meals.  And when you’re done, you can just rinse it off and pop it back into the kitchen drawer! Whether you’re a novice in the kitchen or a total food fanatic, a stick mixer is something that anybody can find useful.

How to Find the Right Stick Blender

1. Make sure your stick blender is lightweight, with an ergonomic soft-grip handle for better control. You don’t want it to slip out of your hand while you’re trying to whip up something tasty!
2. How often do you plan to use your stick mixer? Compact and portable, it’s easy to move around the kitchen from one task to another.
3. Your stick blender should also come with dishwasher-safe attachments. Some models have a whisk or mashing leg for making fluffy mashed potatoes, while others come with an adjustable slicing disc for food and vegetable preparation.
4. The amount of wattage your stick mixer has will determine its power and the types of jobs it can do. A 250w stick mixer is good for mixing smoothies and softer foods, while other models up to 1000w can tackle thicker or heavier consistencies. 5.Find a stick blender with sealed controls, so you don’t get food caught in any awkward places that can be difficult to clean.
5. Why not show off your stick mixer instead of putting it away in the kitchen drawer? Some models can be wall-mounted, while others come with their own bench stand.
6. Match your stick mixer with your kitchen décor and other kitchen appliances. Monochromes like black, white or grey are truly classic and provide a nice contrast with a warmer, earthier colour palette. Pops of colour like blue or red can give your kitchen a more modern feel, especially when paired with neutral tones. Get your kitchen back into the mix!
