How to use an Immersion Stick Blender
You may notice some of our recipes note that you can use an Immersion Stick Blender. Are Immersion Stick Blenders easy to use?  Are they worth it?  Yes!

  1. Immersion blenders are compact.
    They are perfect for small kitchens because they take up very little space.

  2. Immersion blenders are relatively inexpensive.
    You can easily find an immersion blender for under $40.

  3. Immersion blenders are versatile.
    You can do so many things with a hand blender – it’s not just for soup, but any time you have a lot of blend-able items to work with such as salsas, shakes, sauces or even baby food. Make sure the head of the blender is fully submerged in whatever you are blending.

  4. They’re fast.
    Sometimes, it takes only 30 seconds to create a recipe. Gently move the blender up and down or in a slow stirring motion. If you are making a hot blended dish or soup, let it cool for 10-20 minutes before blending, as things can splatter occasionally.

  5. Less to clean up.
    Clean the blender piece in a bowl of warm, soapy water and rinse. The blade of the immersion blender will be harder to clean if you let it sit for too long.
