Chefs, caterers, bakers, and home cooks all use hand blenders to mix and prepare food. Lightweight and compact, these devices tackle small mixing jobs, and they make cleanup simple. These small mixers are cost effective and easy to use. Unlike standard blenders that feature two blades running simultaneously, hand mixers have a single blade for smaller tasks. Staples® carries a variety of popular brands including Cuisinart®, Hamilton Beach®, Better Chef®, and Brentwood®.

Benefits of Hand Blenders
Sometimes referred to as immersion blenders, hand blenders blend, whisk, puree soups and sauces, and emulsify without the need for expensive food processors and messy cleanups. These devices make smoothies and shakes quickly, and they work directly in the cooking pot or other containers without the need for a separate mixing bowl. Many hand mixers detach at the base and fit into the dishwasher for convenience and, because they have a comfortable handle, it makes them easy to control. Hand mixers are small and take up little room in a pantry, cabinet, or on a counter.

Attachments and Accessories for Hand Blenders
Some stand mixers feature a variety of attachments and accessories for greater versatility. Prepare bread dough, yeast dough, and related mixtures with the use of a dough hook. These attachments work twice as fast as hands for mixing flour, water, and yeast together. Stick blender attachments blend and puree sauces and make homemade salad dressings, mayonnaise, and baby food. Metal whisk attachments whip cream, froth milk, beat egg whites, and mix dessert batter with excellent results.

Look for accessories like matching mixing bowls and cups that accommodate the mixer precisely. Tabletop stands keep the mixer conveniently within reach while wall-mounted storage solutions save counter space.

How Much Power Should Hand Blenders Have?
Manufacturers measure the power of a hand mixer in Watts. For lightweight jobs, choose a blender with around 220 Watts. Frozen drinks require more power. Look for a blender with at least 500 Watts of power and an ice-crushing blade attachment. Consider the revolutions per minute (rpm) as well. The wider the range, the more versatile the mixer will be. A standard mixer has two speeds: 10,000 rpm and 14,00 rpm. A pro-quality mixer may have a range of speeds from 1,000 to over 20,000 rpm.

How Do You Clean Hand Blenders?
Hand blenders with detachable shafts fit inside the dishwasher, while those with one-piece designs require a few extra steps. Unplug the device and rinse away any liquid particles under warm water. For stuck-on food, scrub the beaters with a soft sponge or cloth and then rinse under water. For battery-operated and waterproof mixers, fill a pot with a small amount of dish detergent and warm water, immerse the beaters and turn on the mixer. The action of the beaters will clean them within a few seconds.

What’s the Advantage of Corded Hand Blenders Over Cordless Designs?
Cordless blenders are very portable and have no wires to contend with. They're excellent for use at parties or catering. Corded hand mixers can deliver more power, so they can tackle bigger jobs like pureeing frozen fruit. They also weigh less, because there is no heavy battery pack.
