This hand blender also comes with a mixing beaker (you'll see it used in the photos below). So last year, I upgraded to this cordless hand blender - it works just like the immersion blender above, but there's no cord to get in my way! The blender comes apart into three pieces - I leave the charger piece plugged in all the time and just snap it together when I'm ready to use it! It's a lot quieter than the immersion blenders I was used to, but it's just as powerful, and I can use it for quite awhile before I have to recharge. (Context: I shot all 10 recipes for this post on the same day, and I didn't have to recharge the blender once). I kept knocking things over with the cord, and it was driving me CRAZY. I love the immersion blender above, but I found that the cord would get in the way while I twirled around the kitchen.

Soooo.let's just jump right into the good stuff, shall we? Just clean the blender piece and whatever bowl or pot you blended your creation in, and you're wham-bam-donezo. They cut down on cleanup. The greatest thing to me about using an immersion blender instead of a bigger appliance is that I'm left with hardly any cleanup. They're fast. It takes all of 30 seconds to make some of these recipes. (And I'm going to show you just how much more in just a lil' bit!) When I try to talk people into buying immersion blenders (my version of appropriate dinner conversation) the most frequent hesitation is "but I don't make soup that much." WHAT?! You guys - these hand blenders can do SO much more than soup. They're relatively cheap. You can get a good immersion blender for under $40 - try finding a high-quality food processor for that price! (Spoiler alert: you can't). Immersion blenders are compact. My hand blender takes up almost NO space - it's small and fits just about anywhere, which makes it PERFECT for my tiny apartment kitchen. Still, I get asked pretty frequently whether an immersion blender is really worth it.
If you've followed Life As A Strawberry for awhile, you may have noticed this handy dandy little hand blender pops up in about a zillion recipes.
