When choosing a blender, you need to determine which type, stationary or submersible, is more suitable? In most cases, the type of blender depends on the tasks assigned to the device.
The immersion blender is used for a wide range of kitchen tasks. The advantages of this type are: compact design, thanks to which you can grind the product in any dish, even the smallest one. A large number of nozzles are attached to the device.
The disadvantages include the fact that the blender in the process of work must be kept constantly in hand and continuously monitor its work. In addition, when grinding juicy products, the mass is sprayed.
This blender is the most purchased because it really replaces a food processor. Since with the help of a chopper, a whisk, a nozzle designed for puree, a vacuum pump, you can cook:
A stationary blender is in most cases used to prepare liquid masses, but it is also used to solve other problems. The advantage is that the blender works independently, without the presence of a person and the contents are not splashed. The disadvantage is that only large portions are prepared in such a blender.
This blender is great because it is easy to make shakes and smoothies because the liquid does not splatter. They are also comfortable to use on a daily basis. The device is installed on the table and during operation it does not need to be held by hand.
When choosing a blender, you need to pay attention to such aspects as:
This is one of the main criteria. The power indicator ranges from 140 to 2,000 watts.Moreover, the higher the power, the better the device will work. It will grind food faster, while practically not heating up. If the blender has high power, the easier it will be to crush ice and grind meat. For soft foods, 450 watts is sufficient.
If you need to grind foods such as nuts, ice, meat, then you should buy a 600 or 800 W submersible device. If the power of the blender is at least 1000 W, then this blender belongs to professional devices, and therefore it will be easy to process any products. But the actual cost of such a product is high.
Stationary blenders have power from 250 to 1500 watts. At the same time, 500 watts will be enough to prepare cocktails and other liquids. Other tasks are possible with 600 watts. If you need to grind hard foods such as ice and nuts, as well as knead the dough, you will need a power of 1000 watts.
It is very important what material the main nozzle is made of. It is recommended to choose devices with a metal nozzle, which will allow you to grind products of any temperature and at the same time not be afraid at all for the serviceability of the device. In addition, odors are not absorbed into such a nozzle.
In this case, the body can be made of plastic. But it is even better if rubber inserts are present in the body of the submersible blender. Thus, the blender can be comfortably held in your hands.
On a device with high power, there are at least 30 speeds. At the same time, the more speeds, the more convenient it is to adjust the speed at which the knife will rotate. Thus, when grinding, the liquid will splash less.
Most often, a device is selected in which there are two speeds. But for lovers of smoother switching, it is better to use a device in which there are from 5 to 8 speed modes. Immersion blenders additionally have a turbo mode, which allows the knives to rotate as quickly as possible. In this way, a homogeneous consistency of the cooked mass can be achieved.
In impulse mode, the device does not heat up while processing solid foods. This mode allows the knives to move very quickly, but at the same time stops them for a while.
The stand blender has up to 20 speeds. At the same time, at a low speed, it turns out to be crushed into large pieces, and at a high speed, into mashed potatoes. The best option would be a blender with 4 speeds. This device also has an intensive mode and a turbo.
Most often, an immersion blender has only three nozzles:
With the help of the main nozzle, you can prepare mashed vegetables, whip the cream with a whisk and knead the dough, use the chopper to prepare minced meat. If there is a vacuum pump nozzle, then you can easily deflate the bags to extend the shelf life of the products.
In stationary blenders there are knives - one or two. Moreover, the more knives, the faster the desired result. Knives, in turn, have a straight and curved shape. Curved blades produce the finest products. These knives are perfect for mashing.
It is known that the amount of crushed products also depends on the size of the bowl. But it is best to choose a blender, in the bowl of which 200 to 300 milligrams of products are placed.In a bowl with a capacity of 1.5 to 2 liters, it is convenient to prepare mashed potatoes for several people.
The material of the bowl can be plastic, glass and metal. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Only cold foods can be chopped in a plastic bowl. But at the same time, it is very lightweight. Glass - more convenient to use and you can grind hot mashed potatoes in it, but the disadvantage is fragility and it is very easy to break it. The metal bowl remains the best in this situation. But still, the disadvantage of such a bowl is its opacity. Because of this, it is impossible to follow the consistency of the prepared puree.
The case for a stationary blender is made in two types - plastic and metal. A device with a plastic case can be bought much cheaper, but unfortunately it breaks easily when dropped. The metal case is the most reliable, but its price is much higher than its plastic counterparts.
In most cases, blenders operate on mains power. To do this, they need a cord, at least 1.5 meters long. This power supply is the most reliable. But if in a large kitchen there are several surfaces that are used for work, then a battery model is more convenient. In addition, a blender that runs on battery power can be used in places where there are no outlets. For example, in the country, or in nature. The only drawback of such a blender is that its charge is only enough for half an hour.
It is impossible to unequivocally tell customers that they need to buy only a submersible or only a stationary blender. Everyone has their own individual taste and needs. Therefore, when buying, you need to start only from your own interests.
A stationary blender makes it easy to prepare liquid dishes, but unfortunately it will require more space to store it than a submersible blender.
With an immersion blender, you can do a lot more because it comes with a wide variety of attachments.
The complexity of performing operations directly depends on the power of the device.
Depending on the speed, the knives spin, and this changes the speed of cooking.
It is not so important what material the blender body is made of, it is more significant what the main nozzle of the submersible device and the stationary bowl are made of.
