Modern blenders are divided into two main types - stationary and submersible. They differ not only in their appearance, but also in functionality. When choosing the model you need, you should pay attention to the estimated frequency of use of the device and the amount of processed food.
Submersible blenders are long thin devices with sharp knives at the end, with which you can easily grind a small amount of product in a separate container. The main structural element of the stationary device is a bowl on a stand equipped with knives. Food is poured into it that needs to be processed, after which the resulting mass is poured or poured into other dishes.
Hand blenders
A submersible blender is often called a rod blender; it has the shape of a pestle with a nozzle. One of the main advantages of such devices is speed of operation and ease of maintenance. If you need to chop vegetables or crush ice, they are thrown into a glass or a deep bowl and turn on a blender. In just a few seconds you are ready for the product of the desired consistency. The device can be quickly cleaned, washed and hidden in a table, it does not take up much space.
However, when working with a hand blender, you have to constantly hold it in your hands. Often such devices are not designed for continuous use without interruption. Even if you can turn it on for more than a minute, your hands will begin to get tired. But there is a positive point - you control the process yourself and at any time you can direct the device to where you see the wrong consistency. In addition, such devices are often equipped with whisk-shaped nozzles that can successfully replace the mixer, and chopper bowls with an internal knife help to process food even faster.
