Whether you are an occasional cook or someone who likes to cook on a daily basis, we think it is fairly obvious that you use a lot of appliances every time you cook. Yes, most meals, especially on weekdays, must be simple, quick, and easy to make and store, but it is not unusual for us to cook something special every couple of days.
By special, we do not mean an elaborate buffet, but we do mean dishes that need just a few extra steps. Maybe creating a dry spice mix specifically for the dish, or maybe using a puree of onions and tomatoes to create a luscious and creamy gravy. It could also mean using whipped cream instead of just butter for icing a cake or making freshly churned buttermilk with ample froth and spice to match.
We all have appliances in our kitchens that serve singular purposes, such as electric kettles, rice cookers, and sandwich makers. But certain appliances are truly multi-use and can be used to make the parts of a huge variety of dishes, across different cuisines. One of the most versatile and useful appliances one can ever buy for their homes is a handheld blender.
A hand blender is basically a stick with a motor attached, which has blades at the end of it. The blades of a hand blender are available in multiple shapes, some sharp, some smooth, and some have swirly shapes attached as well.
A hand blender can be used for a variety of purposes, such as pureeing fruits and vegetables, whipping cream, making dals and buttermilks smooth and homogenous, and/or mixing dry powders and flours.
A hand blender may also come with a whip attachment which can be used to beat eggs as well. All in all, it is a compact version of a mixer grinder that saves up on time, space, and vessels that will need to be washed. We all know how it is a total hassle to wash your mixer grinder, so for smaller quantities of things, it is best to invest in a good quality hand blender.
We have a huge range of hand blenders for you to shop from, crafted by brands such as:
We at Pepperfry believe that hand blenders definitely should figure in the bare minimum of kitchen appliances, along with your mixer grinder, gas stove, microwave, and oven. While certain appliances like toasters and coffee makers are not exactly essentials, we would not say the same about a hand blender.
