Immersion Blender Options For Versatile Kitchens

If you love to cook, you need an immersion blender in your kitchen. These lightweight, easy-to-use blenders effortlessly puree vegetables and other ingredients to create creamy, flavourful soups and sauces. No need to transfer your ingredients to a countertop blender - simply immerse the hand blender into your pot or pan and pulse until smooth. They're also perfect for blending milkshakes, making homemade baby food and much more. These handy blending tools will take up very little space in your kitchen, but they'll make it much easier to prepare your favorite blended recipes.

Top Features of Stick Blenders

Immersion-style blenders at Williams Sonoma are available from a wide selection of premium brands, including Breville, All-Clad and Cuisinart. Since they're lightweight and easy to use, they're ideal for small-batch cooking, but the motor is also powerful enough for family meals. They feature an eight- to 13-inch stainless-steel blending shaft, which means they can be used with deep cookware like stockpots. Always make sure the blender is fully immersed before using to prevent splashing, but be careful not to hit the bottom or sides of the pot or pan with the blades. The blending shaft detaches for easy cleanup, and some are even dishwasher-safe.

The ergonomically-designed blender handle features a comfortable grip, so it's easy to hold when blending big batches of soups or sauces. While the handle should never be immersed in water, it should be wiped clean with a damp cloth after every use. The on/off button is integrated into the grip, so it's easy to reach. Depending on the model you choose, you'll have five- to fifteen-speed options for precise blending. Most of the stick blenders in this collection must be plugged into a standard outlet, but there are some cordless options available. Having a cordless immersion blender gives you the freedom to maneuver around the kitchen and the charging base doubles as an upright storage station.

Handheld Blender Accessories For Cooking Versatility

Several of the immersion mixers at Williams Sonoma come with additional attachments and other useful blender accessories. Use the whisk attachment to turn your blender into a hand mixer for whipping cream or meringues, mixing pancake batter and more. Some also include a chopping bowl attachment for chopping ingredients like vegetables or nuts. The chopping bowl is perfect for small-batch cooking, but if you need to chop enough for a crowd, consider upgrading to a food processor. Other accessories that may be bundled with your stick blender include storage jugs with lids, mixing cups with measurement markings and recipe books for inspiration.

Shop for an immersion blender at Williams Sonoma to add this handy tool to your kitchen electrics collection. Use one to create your own delicious, homemade soups and sauces, or add a blender attachment for extra versatility. With dozens of options from brands like Breville, All-Clad and Cuisinart, it's easy to find a premium hand blender that you'll love to use for everyday meals or dinner parties.
