Review Text: Well Designed Hand Blender For The Home. If you've never used a hand blender before, it might seem wholly unnecessary or like an extravagance - until you use it. I call them immersion blenders and they have become widely available now and recipes that use them abound. On the fancy end of the spectrum are homemade Hollandaise sauce or mayonnaise in literally a couple minutes. On the incredible utilitarian end is pureeing soups in the pot while they are cooking. Also great for milkshakes, smoothies, and baby food. These devices operate like handheld reverse blenders - the blending mechanism (indistinguishable from one at the bottom of a standard blender) is used from above what you are blending - the angle and movement of the blending wand draws what you are blending through the device. The actual blending wand twists off the motor for easy and safer cleaning (it cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher!). The corded motor is plenty strong for just about any non-commercial use. A single button initiates the motor and controls the speed of the blender - it's simple, intuitive, and easy to understand and operate. There are no recipes included - but there is an internet full of them. It comes with a three-cup blending jar with lid - for smaller tasks , a somewhat narrow enclosure forces the fluid to cycle and blend very quickly. The plastic jar and lid are dishwasher-safe. A curious inclusion here is a plastic device they call a pan guard - it snaps on the bottom of the blending mechanism to prevent the metal edge from scratching the bottom of you metal pans (see picture). A great little detail from KitchenAid.
