Today, in every specialized store there is a huge assortment of compact kitchen helpers that every housewife needs. Which one is better to choose?! The one that whips, or the one that grinds?! The choice is not easy. But there is a kind of assistant that combines literally all kitchen utensils - a blender.
Types of blenders
The functionality of this device does not limit its mobility. In this regard, on the shelves of shops you can find 2 types of blenders - stationary and submersible. The stationary blender model occupies a decent place, however, it has all possible nozzles, and is able to perform any work without involving the hands of the hostess. The submersible blender model is already a mobile, functional “handle” to which the necessary nozzle is attached.Such a blender can only work with the help of hands, but it is in no way inferior to its stationary "brother". Nozzles with which the blender works can be either included with the blender or purchased separately.
Choosing an immersion blender
When choosing an immersion blender model, every housewife will face not only a huge selection of brands and design solutions for this device, but also a wide price range. The price of an immersion blender can vary from 800 to 14,000 rubles! Such a range of prices is associated primarily with the difference in the power and functionality of the devices, and secondly with the popularity of the brand. However, the latter does not always correspond to the "price - quality" ratio.
Therefore, in order to understand which model is better to choose and not miscalculate in price, you should pay attention to the following parameters of the submersible blender:
- Power. It varies from 200 to 1200 watts. The higher the value, the more powerful the blender.
- Number of nozzles. When using a blender, you can completely get by with 2-3 nozzles (for whipping, mixing and grinding).
- Availability of speeds and pulse mode. The presence of speeds is inherent, mainly, for stationary models of blenders. For submersible models, the presence of a pulsed mode is more important. It is thanks to him that you can whip a cocktail in 2 minutes, chop ice or mix the necessary ingredients thoroughly.
A good immersion blender, with average technical characteristics, will cost about 2,000 - 3,000 rubles.
Disadvantages of immersion blenders
The only drawback that can be observed when working with such a valuable device is weak power. Of course, saving on it, you can significantly save on price. However, this will affect the further performance of the blender. For example, he will not be able to chop meat or large vegetables. Everything will have to be crushed in advance.
In addition, in an attempt to "take" the ingredients, he can simply become clogged with them and turn off. You will have to clean the nozzle and start all over again. So power is something that is definitely not worth saving on. An immersion blender is a fairly light, compact and mobile device that allows you to instantly do the work that was previously only possible with special combines. Therefore, it will become an indispensable assistant in any kitchen!
