#Immersion Blender

How We Tested Our 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.

Almond Milk

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

Mayonnaise

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.

Frozen Fruit Smoothie

Our smoothie consisted of frozen fruits (mango and pineapple), kale, and water. The results would give us an idea of how long the job should take, how easy the machine was to use, and how smooth the resulting drink could be.

Whipped Egg-Whites

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

Hot Soup Purée

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.
