Susanna,

How sweet of you to ask! You can buy it through my amazon link which will give a kickback to me. But really, do what serves you best. I always appreciate the support, but I want you to get the best deal that you can too!

Kimi,
I’m planning to buy the Kitchen Aid Immersion Hand blender with chopper (in white) from Amazon. Any way I can connect to that through your site so you’ll get a commission on the sale?

I’ve hinted strongly to Santa for a KitchenAid Immersion, in red.

The item I can’t live without? My red KitchenAid Stand Mixer. It gets more use than does my car!

Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much for the comments. I am glad, first of all that this post was useful to many of you. I enjoyed reading what “tools” you use or don’t use in your kitchen. Thanks!

“You have to make sure that there isn’t too much hot liquid in the blender, or it goes everywhere.”

I read this part and chuckled one of those knowing laughs. It’s not so funny at the time, though, when it’s piping hot butternut squash soup on you! I used to have a Kitchen Aid immersion blender and loved it dearly until we fried the motor. *sigh* Too bad they don’t last forever!

I love my immersion blender, I use it all the time. It’s great for mixing up salad dressings, especially when using fresh garlic or chili peppers.

I have one and I love it. I use it most for making baby food.

I’m glad you posted this! My husband had an immersion blender when we married, but I rarely used it because it didn’t puree soups very finely. I thought it was just a problem with immersion blenders in general. I bet you anything it was just because it was cheap. (I think the brand was Hamilton Beach.) Good to know!

Since my birthday, I’ve been using my Vita-Mix to puree soups, and it works beautifully. It has such a large capacity (twice that of other blenders) that I often don’t have to use batches. It’s easy to clean too. Plus the texture–oh, wow! Like velvet.

I have an immersion blender. It’s a cheap Braun. We got it as a wedding gift 8 years ago. I use it daily for many of the same uses you mentioned and it is still going! I am amazed it hasn’t died yet.

Well I’m convinced. I wasn’t sure what to ask for for christmas, I’ve been waffling between organic cotton sheets and pressure cooker… I think an immersion blender just made it’s way to the top of the list!!!
