What are Hand Mixers and Blenders?
Hand mixers and blenders are both excellent time-saving kitchen appliances which help to make food preparation tasks easier. A hand blender is a handheld appliance which has a long shaft with a concealed blade on the end. Hand blenders are perfect for using to liquidise soup and to grind nuts for cakes or for a delicious topping on ice cream. You can also buy electrical hand whisks, which are ideal for making cakes, batters and, with the appropriate attachment, for kneading dough. A blender is a stand alone machine which has a jug on a base concealing mechanical blades. These blades can blend and chop a range of foods in seconds.
