What is a Immersion Hand Blender – An immersion blender, also known as stick blender, mini blender, hand blender or wand blender, is a kitchen blade grinder used to blend ingredients or purée food in the container in which they are being prepared.
It’s called an immersion blender because you immerse the blender blades into your ingredients, rather than pouring ingredients into a blender jar.
An immersion blender is helpful when you have a large amount of puréed soup or some other product to work with—more than one blender full, which would require blending in batches. A good immersion blender should be powerful enough to process all kinds of foods, including cooked meats, potatoes, vegetables and so on.
