What should I consider when shopping for blenders?
There are many things to think about when buying a blender or upgrading an old one, lets explore them below.
Blades:
Although it may seem counterintuitive, the best blenders don’t have sharp blades. These are much easier to clean.
Size:
A lightweight blender is best if you don't need it on a countertop. But, it shouldn't be too tall to fit under the kitchen cabinets.
Glass vs Plastic:
Glass is heavier than plastic. But it can withstand high-speed blades.
Wattage:
Blenders that have a higher wattage are not always more efficient.
Speed:
Blending smoothies is not enough! Super blenders can do so much more than just blend them.
Appearance:
A blender should be a permanent fixture on your countertop. You can match the blender to any decor or choose black as it is a neutral colour..
Noise Level:
The worst thing about a blender is its noise, both blenders and food processors tend to be noisy..
Blenders are not the same as food processors. Although they look very similar, blenders are better suited to specific tasks.
What's the Difference between a Kitchen Blenders and Food Processors
Blenders
Blenders can be used to liquefy ingredients such as fruit, vegetables and milk into smoothies, soups and other drinks.
Food Processors
These models are best suited for cutting and dicing ingredients in order to prepare food. There are also cross-purpose models that can do both, if you need a single device to fit into smaller kitchens.
Differences between Blender Types
There are many blender models available on the market.
Stick Blenders
Also called an immersion blender or hand-blender, they are used to blend food in a bowl, pan, or pot.
Conventional Blenders
The most powerful blenders can be used for most everyday tasks.
Personal Blenders
Personal blenders can be used to prepare quick meals for one person.
How to Select the Perfect Blender
Are you ready to buy a blender yet? Here are some more things to consider before you bring one home.
Working Space
Personal and conventional blenders can take up counter space. Personal blenders take up space, but they are smaller and lighter than immersion blenders, so they can still be used on the countertop.
Power
Power depends on the ingredients you are trying to blend. These blenders have high power and can be used for grinding grains, crushing ice, and blending nuts.
A mid-powered blender can crush ice and grind nuts but is not as powerful as a high-powered blender. Blenders are great for making purees and smoothies.
Stick blenders or immersion blenders are great for making light drinks and smoothies.
Easy Cleaning
Everyone wants to be able to relax at night. Personal blenders do not support self-cleaning. However, the parts that work with foods can be washed in the dishwasher.
Pitcher/Jar
Blender pitchers can usually be made from glass or plastic. However, low-quality glass can shatter easily making it dangerous. You should instead choose high-end plastic. Some are not dishwasher safe.
