KitchenAid Variable Speed Hand Blender

“It takes up less space than a big blender. It has so many uses: smoothies, sauces, puree hot things right in the pan, etc. It's easier to clean than a regular blender: put water in a cup with soap and blend it. Then wipe off anything else with a sponge. (You can probably put it in the dishwasher but I don't have one of those)”

“This one may be a bit more obvious, but I use these hand held immersion blenders to make slip, rehydrate glazes, and mix in mason stains.”
