People always ask me what kitchen gadgets are worth buying. One tool I always recommend purchasing is an immersion blender. Think of it as an outboard motor for cooking.
Sometimes when you make a sauce or soup, you want the finished product to be smooth. And if you use a regular blender it means transferring the hot liquid from the pot to the blender in batches.
COOKING TIP: Never fill a blender more than half full of hot liquid! When you turn it on, the hot liquid expands and the lid may fly off, causing severe burns.
An immersion blender allows you to keep the liquid in the cooking pot and blend it in one simple step.
Just make sure to submerge the blender blade before turning it on. Otherwise you risk spraying the hot liquid all over your kitchen!
Some kitchen tools are worth the investment…and an immersion blender is definitely one of them.
