anyone own an immersion blender?

is it useful? what do you use it for beside pureeing soups?

I'm just curious...I made a soup recently that needed to be blended & I always hate doing that in the blender but not sure it would be worth getting for periodic soups.

  • We have one with lots of attachments.  Our real blender is dead right now so I use it for smoothies, crushing nuts, etc.

  • Yup - I love it.  I use the blade attachment on it for blending soups, beans, tomatoes, etc. or beverages with banana in it.  And, really, now that I have one, I make things that would call for one more often because I know I won't have to hassle with a blender.

    I also use the whisk attachment when I need to beat just a few egg whites to peaks and don't want to clean the stand mixer.

  • I do and love it. I use it for homemade pasta sauces, we make berry syrup from frozne berries and puree that, soups, black beans etc. So much easier to use/clean than a regular blender.
  • I have one and I love it!  I never use my regular blender anymore.  I'll use it for pureeing soups, mashed potatoes, smoothies, making homemade salad dressing, etc.  I keep finding more and more uses.  It's great because there is only one part to clean, as opposed to several with the blender or food processor.

  • Have had mine for 12 years and still love it. I only use for 'periodic soups,' but it only cost $15 or $20 and is still going strong so totally worth it IMO.
