Any woman wants to make her work in the kitchen easier. Now there are a very large number of various electric assistants, among them a blender can be distinguished. How to choose the right device?
In order to choose a blender, you first need to decide on the purposes for which you are buying it. If you are a real chef who conducts various culinary experiments and cooks a lot and in large quantities, then you need a food processor. A simple hostess will find this device not very convenient, cumbersome and impractical, since it is problematic to disassemble and assemble, wash for a long time and have nowhere to store.
There are three types of blenders: submersible, stationary and combined. The hand blender is a leg with various attachments. With this blender, you can easily chop onions, bread crumbs and other products. The more power the device has, the more rigid products it can handle. It is not very convenient to whip cocktails with such a blender.
If you plan on chopping hot food, you should choose a metal case over a plastic one. Although plastic can be purchased at a better price, it is best not to work with it at high temperatures.
Standard stationary blenders are more functional for whipping products. If you like cocktails, then it is better to buy a stationary blender. It looks like a bowl on a stand. Also worth paying attention to is the self-cleaning function. After work, fill in a small amount of water, turn on the blender for a while and it self-cleaning.
The combi blender combines a hand-held and a stationary blender in one device. It is also called a mini-harvester. This is the most expensive blender, however, and the most functional and convenient.
The bowls of stationary and combination blenders can be either plastic or glass. Glass ones are more hygienic, plastic ones can darken over time, and also begin to absorb odors. However, the glass bowl may break and it will be problematic to replace it. Plastic is much stronger. But there are also models that combine the good properties of both plastic and glass.
