Cuisinart Hand Blender
Today, concerned about quality and unhealthy additives in processed foods, more and more people are taking responsibility for their own food preparation and bypassing processed food. Consequently, they are seeking out gadgets and tools that make preparation easier.
The Cuisinart SmartStick hand blender is the answer to fast, healthy food preparation.
This is one very affordable and versatile tool. With a heavy-duty 200-watt motor, this blender does make life easier, handling multiple blending tasks (pulp or continuous action) with ease. It effortlessly blends and purees wonderful smoothies, soups, and baby foods in a flash. There is no need to transfer from the pot as the blender can operate inside saucepans (not non-stick, though) or bowls.
This affordable and elegant appliance comes in designer colours that will compliment most kitchens. Unlike some kitchen appliances, this is simple in design, ergonomically designed, relatively light in weight, and so, easy to operate.
The stainless steel blending stick, with anti-splash guard, blends drinks such as smoothies, makes purees and blends soups in an instant. The wire whisk mixes cream, batter and egg whites in a jiffy. Once you have finished creating, all detachable parts can be washed in a dishwasher, making clean-up effortless. Operating is a breeze and clean-up even more so!
Operating since 1971, the Cuisinart Company has enjoyed an excellent reputation for developing high-standard, well-designed, professional kitchen equipment.

Operating the Hand Blender
The specially-designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is ideal for combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify mayonnaise, too.
This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full-bodied liquid recipes.
Cleaning
Always ensure that your Cuisinart hand blender is properly cleaned after usage.
Remove the blending stick and clean motor body and shaft separately. The motor must never be immersed in water, but simply wiped clean with a kitchen cloth, and dried. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided. The stainless-steel stick can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. It’s that easy!
