Some features of blender allow it to successfully replace a meat grinder, coffee grinder, juicer, blender (though with some reservations). It remains only to make the right choice and buy exactly the blender, which is suited specifically for your purposes.


Let's listen to the experts, they will tell you how to choose a blender, on what to look for and what blender is better to buy for your specific requests.




Stationary blenders




Blenders can be divided into two main types: stationary and submerged. Stationary blenders are designed, consisting of a stand (it has a built motor and controls) and bowls with replaceable knives. The bowl is mounted on the stand and it, in fact, are mixed and milled products. This type of blenders ideal for preparing cocktails, creams, mousses, juice or ice-pick. Such a blender is better to buy if you want to have in the house serious multifunction device with a wide range of functions that can be used constantly.




For stationary blender important engine: the higher it is, the more efficient the unit. For example, if you want to limit milkshakes, you'll have the blender with a capacity of 500 watts. Chop the vegetables or fruits to choose the best blender 700 watts, but turned into minced meat or chop ice, you need a power of 1000 watts.




An important characteristic is the volume of the Cup (it can vary from 400 ml to 2 l). Choosing a blender, define themselves, how much more is right for you, based on your culinary preferences and the number of family members. Important and material bowls for stationary blenders are usually made of glass or plastic.

Blenders




Blenders are usually more compact, as they consist of a handle with in-built motor and controls and nozzles that are mounted directly on the handle. Blenders may have included a mixing bowl products, but this is not necessarily because instead of a bowl you can use virtually any suitable container. Immersion blenders are perfectly cope with the task of mashing and grinding, chopping herbs or nuts. In General, this kind of blender is better to use for treatment of a small number of products, but the ways of its application is more varied than with stationary counterparts. However, power blenders yield stationary and use "glory" purely domestic appliances not intended for serious work and loads.




When choosing a blender pay attention to the material of the handle: plastic is less durable, but less expensive, and stainless steel durable and resistant to heat, but increases the total cost of the blender. Experts advise to choose the units of power from 300 watts and with a wide selection of high-speed modes (not less than 3, and the best option - smooth switching speeds). Also the cost of the blender depends on the configuration: it can be incorporated in various types of nozzles and tanks, as very useful and not very useful.
