What Does a Stick Blender Do

This portable handheld blender with a single rotary blade (also known as a hand blender or stick blender) expedites the process of beating, emulsifying, puréeing, or whipping ingredients together. Rather than manually whisking for minutes on end, you can accomplish the same results much quicker.

Are hand blenders worth it?

An immersion blender is definitely worth investing in if you make pureed soups. We recommend upgrading from an old immersion blender only if your current model fails to make smooth textures, if it’s difficult to hold and use, or if you want more attachments, such as a mini chopper or whisk.
