I find the name of this product to be highly misleading. No matter what method I use, it simply will not blend hands. The name “Hand Lacerator” or “Hand Mutilator” is far more appropriate than “Hand Blender.”
If you don’t already have a hand blender, YOU NEED THIS! If you do already have one, YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS AS A GIFT! They are completely indispensible in a real kitchen…or on a camping trip (bet you’re wondering about that).
I received this blender as a gift a few years ago. I love it! It doesn’t take up a lot of space in my kitchen. I’ve used it to blend potato or tomato soup. I’ve used the chopping attachment to make salsa.
