Different types of blenders

There were times when wooden spoons were used to blend food. Later, eggbeaters came into existence and now there are multiple types of blenders available. You get to choose from a variety of blenders including the hand blender’s countertop options, stick blenders, heavy-duty commercial blenders, etc. Let’s understand them in a little detail.

1. Hand mixer

This is an electrical version of the traditional eggbeater. It is a modern version with a motor encased in the top section including a handle. The motor moves the beaters. It includes different attachments, which makes whisking the cake batter or bread dough seem easy. The hand mixers have variable speed, so are great for making multiple kinds of desserts and baking.

Pros

• The hand mixer is lightweight.
• Large eject button for quick releasing the beaters.
• Cone-shaped beater for incorporating maximum air to gain the fluffy texture of cake batter.
• Whipping egg white or cream is tricky, it is easy to overbeat but hand mixers allow you to check the peaks.
• Takes minimal storage space in the kitchen.
• Clean up is easy and quick.
• Less expensive than electric stand mixers.

A simple hitch is that you need to ensure that the ingredients are chopped to size before adding.

1. Stand mixers

Stand mixers are like hand mixers but with a heavy-duty motor. It includes a mounting base designed to lock the mixer in place while blending. Home models are suitable for keeping on the countertop and include a 3L rotating bowl. You will come across various mixing attachments like a whisk attachment for whipping egg whites or cream, a flat beater ideal for mixing & creaming, and dough hooks for heavy kneading like bread dough.

• A cord storage clip allows keeping the kitchen tidy.

Heavy and large, so will need some space and cleaning is a little hard than the hand mixers. However, stand mixers are a blessing for baking enthusiasts.
