Almost everyone is "on friendly terms" with the mixer. But here is a blender, a kind of improved version of the mixer, which causes bewilderment for some. The first thing to keep in mind is that a mixer and a blender have a lot in common. They can be used to mix cocktails, make mashed potatoes and whip up creams. And the main difference is this: the mixer only mixes liquid, and the blender also knows how to grind solid, even ice.

Instructions
Step 1
If you have a stationary blender (jug blender or glass blender), then you can make cocktails, make mashed potatoes and sauces, beat cream and eggs, mix batter and semi-liquid dough and chop ice.
The kit includes only one knife, there are no other attachments. Not all models have two knives (normal and for ice).
The blender jar has a spout for easy pouring. However, never fill the jug to the brim!
The stationary blender works especially well with soft fruits. It is inconvenient to use a blender to chop onions, peppers, herbs - everything is sprayed on the walls.
Step 2
If you have a hand blender, i.e. long "sticks" with two-bladed knives at the bottom, then you yourself have to pick up the bowl in which it is most convenient to immerse such a blender. The device must be kept in hand at all times. The longer it works, the more homogeneous and finer it grinds.
This blender has small amounts of food, including onions, garlic, herbs, nuts, and mixes mashed potatoes and sauces. The hand blender does the best for small portions, so it is indispensable when preparing baby food.
The hand blender is not able to cut vegetables and fruits beautifully - only "chop" and turn into a mixture.
Step 3
If you have a blender with additional attachments (a multifunctional device such as "blender-mixer", "multi-set", "mini-harvester", etc.), then remember that it works on the principle of a submersible blender, i.e. the device must be held in hand, and the longer it works, the finer the mixture is.
A blender with additional attachments can have multiple rotation speeds. The presence of different containers allows for more hygienic processing of products.
This blender retains the functions of a hand blender, i.e. chopping and mixing vegetables and fruits, nuts and spices, and making mashed potatoes. The whisk attachment allows you to make doughs, creams and smoothies. Some blenders of this type can crush ice. However, he cannot squeeze juice or make minced meat.
