I need to make more soup, and for that to not be a royal pain, I need an immersion blender.
Any recommendations?
I have a GE hand blender and although I don't use it often, I love it when I do use it.
I have a Cuisinart...love it when I need to use it...sure beats using a blender when the soup is hot! (Not friendly to non-stick pans, though...)
I recently got a Cuisinart Smart Stick. I like it quite a bit. It's not perfect, but it gets soups to a pretty smooth texture. It's much better than the Braun I had before. Sur La Table has them on sale periodically so you might check there.
I have a 20+ year old Braun.(TWO recieved as wedding gifts ~1988)
It's still going strong after all that time-- unlike the marraige, I might add.
I :heart: my little Braun; I've used it for everything from pureeing soups on the stovetop to whipping heavy cream for frosting and trifles.
I have a ~15 year old Braun that I got in a supermarket giveaway for year-end spending, LOL.
I adore it! Easy to use, easy to clean. And the price was right. ;)
I have a no name one that we got for $5 onsale. I adore it and it works as well as my MIL and SIL's Cuisanart models. I figure if it croaks, it was $5. DH brought it home and I was like okay (he was on the search for a blender). But once I broke it out, I was addicted LOL
Braun here. No frills or attachments. I just put it in a bean or pea soup and presto. Easy to clean as well.
I have the Cuisinart Smart Stick. I haven't used it much though.
