Hand Blender with Accessories in Pastel Blue

A hand blender (also known as an immersion or stick blender) and a hand mixer are distinct kitchen appliances designed for different purposes.
A hand blender has sharp rotating blades, and is used for blending, pureeing and chopping.
A hand mixer has rotating beaters or whisks, and is used for mixing, whipping and creaming.
Our HBF03 stick blender comes with a range of accesories including a blender head, whisk, jug and food processor component, providing you with everything you could possibly need.

While many use hand blenders solely for making smoothies, a blender can be used for a wide variety of kitchen tasks. Such as:

• Drinks: Smoothies, milkshakes, protein shakes and juices
• Sauces and dips: Salsa, hummus, marinara, and other dips and sauces.
• Other foods: Soups, nut butters, and ice creams are also commonly made with blenders.
• Bread crumbs: You can also use a blender to blend bread crumbs for toppings.

Blenders are some of the simplest bits of kitchen equipment to use. General instructions on how to use a blender will look like this:

1. Prepare the ingredients you are going to use, by deshelling any nuts and peeling fruits and vegetables where necessary.
2. Place the ingredients you desire to blend into the bottle or pitcher (depending on the model you are using).
3. Add a little liquid (water, milk etc.) to help with the blending process.
4. Press the button to begin the blending process. For some models, you may have to hold the button down for the desired blending time.
5. Don’t forget to clean the jug or bottle after use, as well as clean any spills or drops to ensure the continuing smooth operation of your blender.

We have provided general instructions on how to use a blender below, but given that a blender uses blades operating at high speed, it’s always worth consulting the instruction manual that came with your blender before use.continued

How do you make juice with a blender?

Making juice with a blender couldn’t be simpler.

1. Prepare your fruit and vegetables: Remove seeds, skins, and tough stems, and chop the produce into manageable-sized pieces.
2. Add the ingredients to your blender, with liquids like water, to aid in the blending process.
3. Secure the lid of your blender, and ensure the bottle/ pitcher is locked into place.
4. Turn the blender on a low setting, before increasing the speed to high. Blend until the ingredients are completely blended.
5. If you desire a smooth juice, strain the pulp through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
