The Kitchen Bench
Immersion Blenders in 2027
An immersion blender (stick blender) blends directly in the pot, jug or bowl — soups without transferring hot liquid, sauces and smoothies with almost no washing up. Power and shaft length decide whether it is a joy or a splatter machine.

How to choose
Power
Soups and soft foods need little; fibrous vegetables and thick mixtures need more. A motor that bogs down on your hardest job is the wrong one.
Shaft length and material
The shaft must reach the bottom of your usual pot. Stainless shafts tolerate hot soup; plastic shafts can warp or stain.
Speed control
Variable speed gives finesse for sauces and emulsions. A single speed is either too fast or too slow for something.
Attachments
A whisk or chopper attachment adds real value if you will use it. An attachment you never fit is just drawer weight.

Frequently asked questions
Can it blend hot soup safely?
Yes, if the shaft is rated for hot liquids and you keep it submerged. Never lift it out while running.
Does it replace a countertop blender?
For soups, sauces and small batches, largely yes. For ice, frozen fruit and large batches, no.
How do I clean it?
Blend a jug of warm soapy water briefly, then rinse. Detachable shafts rinse even faster.
