Perfect for smoothies and milkshakes!!July 4, 2008 L. Quillen(USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an awesome immersion blender! I bought this just to have a quick way to make smoothies and milkshakes for me and the kids, and it has been such a time saver! You can measure your fruit for your smoothie right in the mixing cup and you have a perfectly blended shake in seconds! I love the fact that the mixing piece detaches from the handle. Makes clean-up a cinch too. I'm sure we'll find other uses for it around the kitchen. It is so handy!
This hand blender is easy and fun to use!July 2, 2008 J. Lee 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This hand blender is awesome! I should have bought one earlier! I made a delicious smoothie this morning and it's such an easier clean-up job than a regular, bulky blender! Perfect for individuals. Can't wait until I try to make gravy and soups!
Awesome productJune 13, 2008 Margaret Franks(Beacon NY) I love this immersion blender. I can make smoothies and soups daily and it makes fast work of the prep. It's nice to be able to control the consistency. Highly recommend. Easy to clean.
stick mixerJune 13, 2008 clearblue(florida United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a real POWER mixer. How did I get along without it. Has my highest praise. A great gift item. Try this recipe:
Garlic Soup Into a covered skillet place: one head of garlic unpeeled 10 baby carrots diced one potato diced 5 pieces of cauliflower Put plenty of EVOO over all the veggies and the garlic. Put in oven at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from oven -let cool- squeeze garlic out of paper skins and discard skins. Put all into a 2 quart boiler with 2 cups chicken or beef broth and simmer 10 minutes. Using your stick blender reduce everything to a pureed soup. Note if you want a thicker soup reduce the amount of broth or add a cup of cooked rice and puree. Add salt and pepper---Enjoy!Optional:1/2 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp cayenne.
Nice PowerJune 10, 2008 R. Carandang(Costa Mesa, CA USA) I've read the reviews and I liked the price. After a couple of weeks worth of research (reading reviews and looking at other handblenders at Target and Macy's home) I decided to buy the smartstick. I've owned it for over a month and I am impressed overall by this product.
Pros: -It feels very sturdy in your hands -Great product for the price -Power (it crushes ice very well)
