About

An immersion blender is a small appliance with a long, slender wand that is fitted with a small 4-prong blade made of stainless steel used for blending. Instead of pouring contents into a blender, a hand held immersion blender can be immersed into a bowl or pot and blend contents into a finer consistency. Great for making soup, sauces, purees, hummus, and smoothies.

This is a must to every kitchen.  I'd recommend one that breaks apart for washing purposes.

I am a personal chef and I use this tool every time I'm cooking - puree roasted veggies for a soup, making a sun-dried tomato pesto, or whipping up my strawberry banana protein shake before I start...very versatile, fast, simple to use and clean...get one! (I have two!)
