The best immersion blenders for the home in 2022

An immersion blender usually comes with a variety of attachments and bowls. It is called submersible because it is immersed in the right container for cooking. Complete with the device there are various nozzles for different types of products. If a nozzle with knives is selected, the product will be crushed, if a whisk is selected, it will be whipped. The action of the immersion part is not limited to a certain size of container, so it can be used in pots, deep dishes and, if carefully, even in gravy boats.

How to choose an immersion blender for home

From the number of models on store shelves, even an experienced chef’s eyes run wide, to say nothing of ordinary chefs. Yes, you can buy a model to match the color of the kitchen, so that the handle fits comfortably in your hand, the backlight is pleasing to the eye and all the nozzles fit compactly into a small box in the kitchen. But still, in order to choose the best submersible blender, it is worth spending a little more time and familiarizing yourself with the important characteristics. 

Purpose of use

First of all, think about what you need a blender for. If only a baby in the family eats pureed food and drinks smoothies, then there is no point in buying a multifunctional model. Suitable standard model with whisk and chopper. To prepare the first, second and compote for a large family, all nozzles, disks and containers will be used. No doubt, in this case, a universal blender is a salvation.

Materials

When choosing a good immersion blender, first of all, you should pay attention to Materialsthat make up its parts. The case of the device can be plastic, metal or metal-plastic. The main thing is that the weight of the case is comfortable for the user. Metal is heavier than plastic, but more “tangible” in the hand. If the blender body is equipped with silicone inserts, then the device will definitely not slip out of a wet hand. 

The submersible part of the blender with a nozzle equipped with chopping knives is called the “leg” in everyday life. The foot of a good blender should be metal. It will not warp from hard work with ice, will not stain from beets and carrots, and will not break if dropped, but will corrode if not properly dried after washing.

It is better to spend money on a blender made mostly of metal rather than plastic. Stainless steel appliances are more reliable and durable.

Power

Immersion blenders have different power. The higher the power, the faster the task will be completed and the better the output will be: more airy puree, perfectly whipped proteins, smoothies without lumps. Experts recommend choosing models with power from 800 to 1200 watts. A model with less power will not cope with hard products and will most likely break. 

If the cooking speed is unprincipled, then a blender with an average power of 500-600 watts is suitable. 

It is also worth considering the type of products that will need to be processed. If these are fruits and vegetables for puree, then a classic model with low power and a couple of speeds will do. If you like homemade nut butter, then for grinding hard nuts you need a more impressive blender, preferably with more power and stronger knives.

Number of revolutions and speeds

An important feature – number of revolutions. The essence of the advantage is about the same as in the power indicator of the device. The more revolutions of the knives per minute, the faster the grinding speed. In the arsenal of blenders, there can be from one to 30 speeds. They are switched by buttons on the motor unit or a switch on the top of the case. 

For gear shifting manually requires a pulse mode, it is found in almost all modern models. Such control over the speed of rotation of the knives, for example, prevents food from splashing on the plate and walls of the kitchen – for this you need to slow down the speed.

Equipment

All classic blenders come standard with two attachments: with chopper and whisk. Multifunctional models are equipped with several chopper attachments, bowls of different sizes, measuring cups and a grinder, a small bowl with knives built into the bottom.

If there is a need for daily cooking of a variety of dishes, then the more attachments and containers, the better.
