There seem to be endless kitchen gadgets available these days. A lot of these are a bit over the top and ultimately unnecessary. However, old faithful equipment such as an immersion blender should be in everyone’s kitchen. Here are just three reasons to always have one to hand.

Soups

There’s nothing easier and more satisfying than cooking up a load of veg and then blitzing it with an immersion blender to produce a thick, creamy, smooth soup. Even if you prefer a chunky soup, there are certain soup recipes out there that are a million times better when smooth, so keep your immersion blender handy. 

Smoothies

Another super easy and satisfying way to cram loads of goodness into a smooth, delicious liquid form. Perfect for breakfast or for an afternoon snack, you can turn old, boring fruit into a tropical dream just by blending them up with some milk or yogurt – the options are endless. 

Dips

You can make light work of turning vegetables, beans, chickpeas, and much more into tasty dips and spreads. You can have restaurant-quality appetizers each night using different ingredients, and watch the immersion blender turn old veg into gourmet snacks.
