I would like to begin this post with an apology. I have been putting off this particular post because I was waiting for the “right” time to take the video. Ridiculous excuse. And I’m leaving for vacation (Hawaii…with my bestie…51 years of friendship) tomorrow, so I needed to get on it.
And it dawned on me that my last post was about The 5 Second Rule so why in the world wasn’t I…5..4..3..2..1…GOing with this post! No more waiting for the perfect time…do it now.
Before I started to pack my warm weather clothes, I jimmy rigged a setup on my kitchen island that allowed me to use both of my hands to demonstrate the difference between the Cuisinart and the KitchenAid immersion blenders. My setup was a tissue box balanced on top of an inverted plastic pitcher, phone laying on top of the tissue box…pure genius…OK, laughing and snickering allowed…
I realize it is better to have your videos look professional, but I think you will get the point I am trying to make and the visual demonstration makes the differences in the two blenders obvious.
I use my immersion blender ALL the time…in fact, I can’t remember the last time I used my regular blender. Here’s a great article from one of my favorite resource sites, TheKitchn. Take a look, there are uses you might not have thought of that will save you time and help you think outside the blender!
If you have a kitchen tool you love, I’d love to hear about it, so share in the comments!

I love my pastry cutter…I use it for smashing bananas for banana bread, or any fruit or soft veggie that needs a rough chop.

Timing awesome for your post. Like you, love be my immersion blender. Yesterday, mine complained by emitting a overheating odor. Now I know my new one will be Kitchen Aid.
Thanks for the great tips Liz. FYI the blender is on sale at Kroger, just saw them for $34.99. Happy blending and cooking everyone!
