Immersion blenders

[Guest guest]

I use mine for homemade tomato soup (I don't like chunks of tomato), in

lentil soup (makes it thicker, but I do not want to puree the whole thing),

I used it in the Cheddar Ale Soup I made for Christmas Eve... Mine also came

with a chopper cup and a tall cup -- using the chopper cup and blade, I can

mince an onion easy (after cutting it into 1/8ths - saves my eyes). I use

the tall cup to make fruit smoothies -- my favorite is a frozen banana, a

little milk and a little vanilla.

I use mine for silky smooth gravies and creamed veg soups, fruit smoothies,

protein shakes and frozen espresso drinks. (Two shots espresso over a glass of

ice, sugar free vanilla or gingerbread syrup and a little milk or Silk and whirr

away.)  Green tea smoothies, too. I use it for finely chopping a bit of onion,

peppers or celery when I'm not doing enough to justify getting the food

processor out.

 

OOh yes, and I'd use it to put stealth veggies in meatless loaf. Two of our sons

wouldn't touch veggies other than french fries, mashed potatoes or canned green

peas. I used to make meatless loaf and turn some carrots, tomatoes, lentils into

darn near invisible with my blender. Of course they didn't know they were

actually eating TVP either. I'd use it to sneak veggies into chili, spaghetti

sauce and other foods.

 

It is easy to clean the immersion blender too. When I am cooking, I generally

have hot soapy water in the sink for fast clean up and if not, I whirr the

blender in a glass of water with a drop of soap, then rinse.
