How Shouldit Tests Immersion Blenders

v1.0

When prepping for our immersion blenders review, we took a look at several different styles. Though most are made well enough for common tasks like making smoothies, pureed soups, and emulsified sauces, some are more efficient than others.

Hot Soup Purée Test

For comparative evaluation, we used a standardized testing procedure for all of our blenders. We wanted consistent and comprehensive results which we would count on to highlight the blender’s capabilities and illuminate its drawbacks.

Mayonnaise Test

Mayonnaise is the easiest sauce to emulsify. If the blender doesn't create a uniform suspension of oil and egg yolks, it’ll probably have even more trouble with other sauces.

Whipped Egg-Whites Test

Can immersion blenders be an alternative to hand mixers? Our whipping egg-white test will help answer this question.

Frozen Fruit Smoothie Test

After our frozen fruit smoothie test for immersion blenders, we realized that not all machines can ensure smooth icy blends.

Almond Milk Test

Our immersion blender test of making almond milk will help put things into perspective when you’re looking for an all-around immersion blender.
