What to look for
Choose a comfortable control, a removable blending shaft, and a bell that fits your usual pans. Check the manual for hot-liquid limits.
How to use it
Take the pan off the heat before blending.
Submerge the blade head before switching on to limit splashes.
Switch off and wait for the blade to stop before lifting it out.
Make it last
Unplug before detaching or cleaning the shaft. Never put fingers near the blade while connected. Follow the manual for dishwasher-safe parts.
