Blending

How I use different blenders.

Immersion blender

An immersion blender is perfect for mixing soft ingredients in a tall and not too wide jar. If you want to make banana ice cream with an immersion blender, it’s the easiest in a large wide bowl.

Cheap Blender

Patience and caution are key when using a cheap blender as it may overheat easily.
It’s always helpful to pre-cut fruits and veggies into small pieces and to place the liquid ingredients into the blender jar first. It is also a good idea to add a little more water than it is required for the recipe. From time to time pause the blender, take the jar off and shake it to loosen the ingredients that got stuck.
