That's an interesting idea! I haven't heard about anything like that, but it sure would be welcome... Might even be able to fashion one out of a rubber seal from some place like home depot or something.
Another good use of an Immersion Blender is when you finish cooking a pot of beans and you want them to be blended together smooth for bean burritos or whatever.
At the age of 62, I'm finally buying an immersion blender! I can't believe I've never used one before. I searched on YT 'how to use an immersion blender' and it took me here. I'm glad it did; great (and fun!) video. New subscriber.
I recently purchased one to mix my protein shakes. I figured that the versatility that it had in regards to being able to select which container I wanted to blend my shake in (as opposed to using a provided container) would make the process simpler and less messy (if done right).
Just got mine last month. I'm almost 70 and this has quickly become one of my faves in the kitchen. 1st used after cooking a whole bunch of celery, potato and cauliflower in my 3 qt Instant Pot. The end of my immersion stick is coated with silicon so it won't scratch my ceramic cookware. It made perfect soup. Tonight I used the beater attachment and made tapioca. Love it!
OK here's a NON FOOD USE CASE. I have sensitive skin so tend to buy hypoallegenic lotion such as Avalon Organics buuut it's not emilient enough for my taste- especially in the winter (NE winters are dry). So my work around is to use an immersion belnder to blend the lotion with some virgin avacado oil or coconut oil to get the texture just the way I want it. And yes I still use the blender for food items as well.
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 my blender went a little while ago and I thought today... how about a stick blender (that's what we call it) and then your video came up and I'm sold. I love the idea that they take up so little space and the clean up is gonna be so so much easier. Oh and to make mayo 😮... I can't believe. Thanks for taking the time. Oh and I just subscribed 🎉🎉🎉
Lol... Oh man.. Don't get me started... It's a lot worse the older the videos get. Pretty cringy, but I guess that's part of getting used to being recorded like that. Big reason I was using the movie clips before was trying to offset that. Getting better now, but it's a journey. Haha
It's a fluke I found you because I wasn't looking for recipes and ideas for usage. I was actually looking to figure out how to turn it on for the first time, as I let my emersion Cuisinart blender sit up for several years without ever using it, plus I don't have the instructions. Well, after watching you while toying around with it I figured out that you have to engage the unlock button located at the base of the blender in order for power speed buttons to activate. Thanks for all the great ideas for usage because I would have used it a lot sooner, as I only knew about using it for making homemade soups which I never got around to. 👍👍
I want to make mashed potatoes. I only make them now once every maybe 15 years because of of the mess of cleaning up the mixer. I would love to have them at least 2-3 times per month, though. Mashed potatoes is very good if you have a wonky tummy and acid reflux.
@EYTSIRHC1 the immersion blenders make it more into a potato puree. A lot of people don't care for it that way, however pureed makes better plate presentation. I personally like a little lumpy texture to my mashed.
Excellent tutorial...I loved the mayonnaise! Super simple and looks delicious! I've owed several stick blenders and always use mine to give my soups some consistency by remove some, and blending in a jug before returning to the pot. But I'm absolutely going to try some mayonnaise. Thanks for sharing.
Added brie and bacon to a mug of perviously frozen French onion soup from trader joes and figured why not hit it with the 25 dollar amazon procured immersion blender and it came out awesome.
I was gifted one for Christmas and I love it! I annihilated some flax seeds perfectly and blended up a batch of cat food. I'm excited to make some whipped cream soon, can't wait!
I have a mid range Bamix, comes with 4 very little attachments, one's a flat disk which actually is for whipping, others are for chopping, creaming, and cutting meat and fiberous veggies, and it even slots into a grinder with larger blades which can chop herbs and grind spices and coffee beans.
I was looking at videos a week ago trying to convince myself the Bosch is the best because it had a vacuum extension, but I saw a comment about the Bamix. I went into research mode to find flaws and reply he's not right... One day later I was ordering a Bamix, although it was 2-3 times the price i was willing to pay for the Bosch. It just looks so good and it performs better than my 1000W kitchen robot, which i already donated to get rid of it. My life changed in few days, i now rediscovered the joy of making smoothies and I can finally do cream soups. But what really convinced me was the pesto demo by Jamie Oliver, this bulky ones couldn't do it at a small scale since i think they don't fit a small jar.
Just bought mine yesterday at Kohls. A Cuisinart with attachments. My 9 yr old Grandson is coming tomorrow and we'll make smoothies. Can you do a presentation on making herbal butters with one of these gadgets? Tonight I used mine to mash up sweet potatoes with a touch of Maple Syrup for sweetener. Amazing. Smoothest sweet potatoes ever, not stringy and with tiny chunks like my past efforts on Thanksgiving, ha! I just subscribed to your chanel Chef. From Missouri, I Thank you.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by and for the sub! That is awesome! Oh yeah.... These things make super smooth stuff.... puree's are great with it! I can do some herbal butter with it... will put it on the schedule. I've got some other stuff on here that I did with it as well.... Potato Puree, A gastrique sauce, and some mayo as well. Let me know how the smoothies go!
I just bought an El cheapo toastmaster brand at Kohl's. After rebate it's $2.16 drawbacks are no variable speed just high and low also no wisk like yours! But for the price worth a start I suppose and if I find I like it can upgrade later. Thanks for sharing!👌
That's all ya really need. Mine is almost always all the way high or low anyway. As far as the whisk, I don't really use it all that much. I think you saved a ton of money and got all you really need!
Cool! Funny story.. I had that thing for quite a while before I really started using it, then I got hooked. I can't even remember why I originally got it. Haha. Super handy.. especially if you like really smooth sauces and purees.
No problem! Congrats on your purchase. Those things are really cool. We're gonna be trying to schedule more immersion blender content on here. It's such a time saver.
I got one and whipped up boxed pudding….twice. 😅 I can’t figure out how to get the lid off the chopper. That’s what I was looking for when I found your channel. Think I’ll try the whip cream though. Thanks!
I'm heeeere! Thanks for sharing. I'll be back. Good content. I think I'd prefer to have an immersion blender over the regular blender. I am thinking that the clean up process is much easier as well. Under $30 sounds like a good deal.
Yep... it's basically eggs and oil for the most part. Makes sense when you look at how many calories and fat you end up getting in a tbsp, doesn't it? When I started dropping weight, the first thing I did was stop drinking regular soda and I skipped the mayo on my burgers. Those 2 things made a massive difference without changing anything else.
The store bought ones have preservatives and stuff in them... I've had this in the fridge for about a week before, but I wouldn't go much longer that that. Also if you want to be extra safe, use pasteurized eggs if ya can.
Thanks, Aldi! The frames are from a company called Silhouette. They are make out of titanium. No hinges on the arms, so they just get bent around your head and snap back when removed. I had those for something like 7 or 8 years.
I got.mine a.year ago. use it.for.mashing.potatos.awesome.smooth.Also, unsweetened.apple.sauce.with leaving skin on.Fast and nutritious. Never will buy apple sauce in stores or mayo ever again. Handy gaget
Exactly what I was looking for! I do have a question - can this Cuisinart model handle frozen fruit on a regular basis? I got this exact same one as a gift, and I absolutely love it, but I've been scared to use it on anything hard. It's great for soups, but I don't want to break it!
I haven't really tried it on anything frozen, but I'd imagine it would be really hard for it to do that. The blade is tiny, and it's way up in the shroud, so it probably won't get much penetration into anything frozen.
Hey Joe thanks for this really helpful video. The Mayo caught my attention- isn’t it said that you need to pour the oil in really slowly. Also can you please help us with your recipe for the Mayo, how much vinegar for instance. Anyway love your video on this. Hugs from Germany
Hi, Chutiagirl. Thanks for the kind words! Here goes my mayo video. All the measurements are in the video description also. I haven't tried pouring the oil in slowly like that, but the results have always been good for me. th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html.
I subscribed immediately. Great quality content. Do you mind sharing your mayo recipe? It looked wonderful. Also, how long does it keep and what container do you recommend using? 😊
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate you. I have that recipe on the channel. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html. I should keep around a week no problem in the refrigerator, and I just keep it in tupperware with a lid.
Do you think cranberry sauce would work? Maybe with some orange zest or something festive added in? Could maybe make a yummy egg nog too. Always wanted to learn how to do that:)
@Maria_02779 yes... That will work. With the eggnog too. It's gonna bake it really smooth though, so if you like chunky cranberry sauce, you just want to pulse it a little.
@@JoesPhenomenal I like both, so that's totally fine with me. Just found your egg nog video this morning too. Very excited to try both now. Thank you so much. Take care:)
I live on the wild side. 😉. But seriously, that Cuisinart model can't be turned on unless you're holding the power button in and the buttons sit flush so it's a lot harder to accidentally turn it on... You're right though... Better to be safer.
a year late but...I had a thunderstick blender for years that came apart, it finally broke and I could NOT find it any more to replace it. I finally found a Baymix brand and this one, whilst it does not come apart, has three 'blades' with it. one for chopping (more like the shape of the blades in a regular processor but smaller) and two discs one for whipping and one for beating I also brought a meat blade (like the sharp one on your blender) you can also get grinders and a 'processor' attachment but these have shot up in price and I'm not totally convinced they are needed (but I guess handy to have if you have spare cash) the baymix has two speeds but with the right disc on it can whip cold milk into a foam to use as a dessert or to top coffee or as a whipped cream alternative.
Ninja makes one that has a immersion blender head, and also a hand mixer head with detachable beaters and a wisk. Works pretty good. We've been playing around with it.
yeah, it's nice but I like the Baymix. easier to store in my tiny kitchen! also found out it does come apart. not the same way. my baymix the blades come off of course, but the splash guard also unscrews so makes it very easy to clean.....you cna also clean it (as I guess you can any of them) just putting it in water as if to use it and turning it on.
Not a ton, but I've tested the Cuisinart in the video, the Ninja one, and also a KitchenAid, and they all had different power ratings. As far as what I was doing, they all did a nice job.
I think you'll like it.... Just be sure to immerse the head of it into you stuff before starting it up, or it will make a big mess. It makes really smooth purees and sauces.
@@parttimecruisers3884 LOL... had to reshoot last night at 10:30. Stayed up to edit.... I was already using the calendar method they were talking about today, so I couldn't miss my upload schedule. Thanks for the Kind words!
Hi, Joe. Sorry to be a nuisance, but I was wondering which brand of immersion blender you would consider "affordable"?? As I said in one of my other comments on your other video, I'm going WFPB, and wanted to try making soups & stews in my slow cooker (I refuse to pay money for an instant pot....partly because I have a small kitchen & don't have alot of cupboard space for too many appliances). I'd mainly want to use it for semi-pureeing my soups/stews to a more creamy texture. Anyway, let me know what you'd recommend. Thanks.
LOL... no problem at all. The one I used in the video isn't made anymore, but here goes the model that replaced it on amazon: amzn.to/3GmCRB7. I think it has a 300w motor on it? comes with some cool goodies, too. Been really happy with the power on mine, and this one is a little bit stronger....
This one is a little bit cheaper, and it's pretty comparable to the other one too. amzn.to/3CiTFGR. Just an FYI that the links I sent to you here are from my Amazon affiliate account. If you purchase items through my links, I do get a small commission from Amazon, but it doesn't affect what you pay or anything like that. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that, though!
As long as you don't do that the other way around...lol. But seriously, it has shielding in the handle that's SUPPOSED to protect you from that.... Not dead yet, so it must be working!
Sure! Here goes a link to my original mayo video. The video description has all the ingredients and measurements in it. th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html
I'm looking for a mini immersion blender as I need to puree our cat food since she is getting older. The reason why it needs to be smaller is because there wouldn't be enough food from the can for a normal sized blender to work correctly. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for something that will achieve the same outcome? (Ps. The can must be used within 3 days, so adding more cans will be a waste) @JoesPhenomenal
I was trying to research those for you... it seems like all the tiny ones are more suiting to just doing milk frothing and stuff like that. If you added more cans, could you keep the leftover in sealed tupperware in the refrigerator?
You can, but it suppose it depends on the texture that you want to get out of it. Immersion blenders make everything really smooth and creamy. Not always the best for everything.
Yes you can! Just be sure you are using pasteurized eggs so you don't run any kind of risk of samonella or something like that. Most eggs (in the USA, anyway) are already pasteurized, so they are ok for the most part, but it's always a good idea to double check.
you make it look easy (the mayonaise), but when i try it it doesn't work, after a few minutes of whipping the mixture is getting warm but still not emulsifying :(
That's odd..... are you letting the eggs sit out a bit? If they are too cold, it might not blend properly. Also, what speed is your immersion blender set to? If it's set to high, it might make that happen, too, possibly?
My immersion blender broke down when I made smoothie out of frozen fruit. The plastic connection between the head and the motor literally melted. Now trying to find something where it's made out of metal.
I'll have to look into that and see if I can find anything for ya. I've never tried using immersion for something like that, but I can see why you'd want to for sure!
How many watts should the Immersion Blender be since I want to buy one but see 200W all the way to 1000W and is there any difference else why are there so many different power option.
Hi, Ainz. It works a lot like it does with ordinary blenders. Typically, you get smoother results with more power since the blade spins faster and doesnt bog down as much. However, mine is only 300w and I have never had a issue with that and everything comes out buttery smooth... so, IMO power levels don't matter as much with immersion blenders... at least not with anything I've ever made with them. Hope that helps.
This one has a cord on it, but if I replaced it, I would go cordless. A little less powerful, but the cord can get in the way quite a bit.... Might not be as big of a deal to other people though... With the cordless, you always have remember to charge it.
I’m trying to decide on buying the Cuisinart Cordless vs. a corded model immersion blender. I need this mostly to mix powdered drinks in the morning and during the day. Not sure if the cord would bother me too much or not. Any recommendations?
If you plan to use it a lot I would do the cordless. I almost bought that one myself, but since I only use it occasionally, it would probably be on low battery too often for me. The cord is a little annoying though.
@@JoesPhenomenal I plan to use it to mix drinks about 3-4 times a day; however, I’m wondering if the constant recharging needed for the cordless model will eventually kill the battery.
Those batteries are usually good for quite a few charges (in the thousands) and if you're not blending for a super long time, you might get around 4 or 5 days out of a charge depending... Need to look into that and see how long that thing is supposed to run before it needs to be recharged.
Probably... I wouldn't recomment it though. The blade has a shrowd over it, but I always worry that it might catch somehow, and then you'd have glass shards flying around.
You can... You would want to use the lowest setting on that and make sure the tip of the immersion blender is just barely submerged with part of it out of the milk.
Joe, I want to blend my morning hot Matcha with oat milk, and also I want to blend/mix my hydration powders into water. I’m thinking of getting the Cuisinart cordless hand blender. Do you think the 2.3” width of the blender will be too large for this?
I think it depends on how much you are planning to drink. As long as you can get the head of the immersion blender submerged, it should be fine though, so I would think anything over maybe a cup and a half should be pretty easy.. otherwise, you can just run it on low speed if it has variable speed control on it.
OK... The Cuisinart head is about 1 1/4 deep and 2 1/2 wide. If you put thta down into something, it's going to push that liquid up anyway as it displaces it, so not too bad.
I almost bought that evolution one. I was gonna, but ended ip getting that Ninja 2 in 1 thing instead. If you plan to use it on a regular basis, I'd buy the cordless. Not having that in the way is pretty cool. Not sure how long the charge lasts on those though.
@@JoesPhenomenal Everything has changed. It turns out that a hand blender cannot froth oat milk at all, so I can only use a big blender for other tasks. I had no idea, but I tried it and it was a bust, so the KitchenAid may be going back. I’m now looking for a battery operated frother, no longer a hand blender.
They have tiny blades on them and they aren't really designed for that. I haven't tried that before, but I have a feeling it wouldn't do that very well, especially if you have larger ice cubes.
why is it that y'all show this as so easy but ya fail to mention that ya can only run that handheld blender for a few seconds at a time or it overheats, therefore making this so called simply task, LONG and DRAWN OUT lol
Which stick blender do you have? I've never had any issues with Cuisinart from that video overheating or anything... I suppose it depends on what your blending though. Super thick stuff maybe?
The entire shaft part of the Cuisinart pops off for cleaning and has a seal on it so nothing gets in there... Typically you don't get too much up close to the top anyways, but it works nice.. I've never gotten anything up there on mine, so maybe the design is just better?

+Joe's Phenomenal great rundown, do you know if there is a place to get pan guards so they don't scratch coated cookware?
That's an interesting idea! I haven't heard about anything like that, but it sure would be welcome... Might even be able to fashion one out of a rubber seal from some place like home depot or something.

Another good use of an Immersion Blender is when you finish cooking a pot of beans and you want them to be blended together smooth for bean burritos or whatever.
Yes!! Good call. Makes great bean dip that way, too.
Mmm! I love refried beans... Need to try this soon!
Great idea! You make refried beans?
I just got one. Main reason was for homemade tomato soup but now I need to figure out how to froth milk for my coffee. 😁
Hmmm... might be able to if you have the tip right at the surface.... be careful though. Might make a huge mess. Low power, definitely

I have one, that I barely use. But I'm going to start, because of your video.🙂
Yay! You're gonna love it.
@@JoesPhenomenal 👍🏾
I'm heeeere! Thanks for sharing. I'll be back. Good content. I think I'd prefer to have an immersion blender over the regular blender. I am thinking that the clean up process is much easier as well. Under $30 sounds like a good deal.
Yeag.. they can be cumbersome.. but clean is a breeze... you're right!
@@JoesPhenomenal I will invest in one in the future. Have a great weekend!
@@NMCsWorld you too!
As someone who doesn't cook much, and is just researching immersion blenders, I never knew that mayonnaise is just SOLID OIL, like holy shit.
Yep... it's basically eggs and oil for the most part. Makes sense when you look at how many calories and fat you end up getting in a tbsp, doesn't it? When I started dropping weight, the first thing I did was stop drinking regular soda and I skipped the mayo on my burgers. Those 2 things made a massive difference without changing anything else.
you're trying to be like 6 different TH-cam personalities at once--ps thanks for the camera cut edits. Really soothing on the brain
😉
Adding this to my list of kitchen gadgets. 🤗🤗
You're gonna that thing. They're fun.
@@JoesPhenomenal I can't wait! My latest two gadgets are a mandolin and a spice grinder. I love them so much! They are fun too!
@@angelictigerette You can blend and write a song at the same time! Epic!
Thank you. Your video is very informative. I appreciate it.
Hey. Thanks! Appreciate ya!
So i just bought one but than didn't realize how to use it 🤣🤣. Thank you for educating me lol
LOL! No problem. haha!
Oh yes, loved this, especially the mayonnaise part. Btw, how long do home made mayonnaises last in the fridge? Same as the store bought ones?
The store bought ones have preservatives and stuff in them... I've had this in the fridge for about a week before, but I wouldn't go much longer that that. Also if you want to be extra safe, use pasteurized eggs if ya can.
I loved your glasses where you bought it? I’m trying to find ..
Thanks for all information ❤
Thanks, Aldi! The frames are from a company called Silhouette. They are make out of titanium. No hinges on the arms, so they just get bent around your head and snap back when removed. I had those for something like 7 or 8 years.
I got.mine a.year ago. use it.for.mashing.potatos.awesome.smooth.Also, unsweetened.apple.sauce.with leaving skin on.Fast and nutritious. Never will buy apple sauce in stores or mayo ever again. Handy gaget
Very nice!
Exactly what I was looking for! I do have a question - can this Cuisinart model handle frozen fruit on a regular basis? I got this exact same one as a gift, and I absolutely love it, but I've been scared to use it on anything hard. It's great for soups, but I don't want to break it!
I haven't really tried it on anything frozen, but I'd imagine it would be really hard for it to do that. The blade is tiny, and it's way up in the shroud, so it probably won't get much penetration into anything frozen.
Hey Joe thanks for this really helpful video. The Mayo caught my attention- isn’t it said that you need to pour the oil in really slowly. Also can you please help us with your recipe for the Mayo, how much vinegar for instance. Anyway love your video on this. Hugs from Germany
Hi, Chutiagirl. Thanks for the kind words! Here goes my mayo video. All the measurements are in the video description also. I haven't tried pouring the oil in slowly like that, but the results have always been good for me. th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html.
just bought one waiting to see more recipes that you use it for !!❤
More to come! I better move my butt!
Unbelievably easy and I won’t buy mayo ever again you’re right thank you
Glad to help!!
Thank you for a great video and tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I subscribed immediately. Great quality content. Do you mind sharing your mayo recipe? It looked wonderful. Also, how long does it keep and what container do you recommend using? 😊
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate you. I have that recipe on the channel. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html. I should keep around a week no problem in the refrigerator, and I just keep it in tupperware with a lid.
Thanks for the great demo!
You're welcome, Susie!
I bout mine at Costco can’t wait to use it for Thanksgiving dinner!
Sweet! Whatcha gonna use it for?
Do you think cranberry sauce would work? Maybe with some orange zest or something festive added in? Could maybe make a yummy egg nog too. Always wanted to learn how to do that:)
@Maria_02779 yes... That will work. With the eggnog too. It's gonna bake it really smooth though, so if you like chunky cranberry sauce, you just want to pulse it a little.
@@JoesPhenomenal I like both, so that's totally fine with me. Just found your egg nog video this morning too. Very excited to try both now. Thank you so much. Take care:)
@@Maria_7440 you too!
My mother in law just gifted me one. Best. Gift. Ever.
They're great, aren't they?
1:10 wow this guy actually touched the blades with the unit plugged in 😂
I live on the wild side. 😉. But seriously, that Cuisinart model can't be turned on unless you're holding the power button in and the buttons sit flush so it's a lot harder to accidentally turn it on... You're right though... Better to be safer.
@@JoesPhenomenalit's just me, I am super paranoid.
@RajinderYadav I can relate... Haha
I just got an immersion blender by Mueller online for $40. Game changing!!
It is! Love it.
Wow so amazing my friend.Please stay safe always and stay connected
Thanks! Appreciate you!
Love these. Step it up!
Great video, chef! Thanks for the recipes! Fellow 1k challenge member and new sub
Thanks crux! Gonna have to go check you out today!
@@JoesPhenomenal Yea for sure, that would be great!
Use mine for blending the oil into natural peanut butter.
That's a really great use for it, too!
a year late but...I had a thunderstick blender for years that came apart, it finally broke and I could NOT find it any more to replace it. I finally found a Baymix brand and this one, whilst it does not come apart, has three 'blades' with it. one for chopping (more like the shape of the blades in a regular processor but smaller) and two discs one for whipping and one for beating I also brought a meat blade (like the sharp one on your blender) you can also get grinders and a 'processor' attachment but these have shot up in price and I'm not totally convinced they are needed (but I guess handy to have if you have spare cash)
the baymix has two speeds but with the right disc on it can whip cold milk into a foam to use as a dessert or to top coffee or as a whipped cream alternative.
Ninja makes one that has a immersion blender head, and also a hand mixer head with detachable beaters and a wisk. Works pretty good. We've been playing around with it.
yeah, it's nice but I like the Baymix. easier to store in my tiny kitchen!
also found out it does come apart. not the same way. my baymix the blades come off of course, but the splash guard also unscrews so makes it very easy to clean.....you cna also clean it (as I guess you can any of them) just putting it in water as if to use it and turning it on.
Nice! Will have to look into those.

As do I!
And I see your review of the knives here:

lol my man put the smoothie in a wine glass 😆
Those berries were front a very good year! lol
65 years old and just bought my first stick blender. Mine is 800W. Have you compared wattages as to what is the best?
Not a ton, but I've tested the Cuisinart in the video, the Ninja one, and also a KitchenAid, and they all had different power ratings. As far as what I was doing, they all did a nice job.
I got one my sister bought it for me for Christmas but I haven't used it yet
I think you'll like it.... Just be sure to immerse the head of it into you stuff before starting it up, or it will make a big mess. It makes really smooth purees and sauces.
Can I make a request? Could you try to put the fruits in a small metal strainer and use it to directly make fruit juice strained and ready to drink? 😅
Thanks
You're welcome
Can we use the blender without the whisk to make buttercream frosting? Cause I don’t have the whisk!
With that, it won't be very fluffy since you need to whip a lot of air into it.
Here from the 1K challenge. I love this ASQ!
Hey Thanks! I had to reshoot this on the fly... had audio problems. I'll come check your newest.
@@parttimecruisers3884 LOL... had to reshoot last night at 10:30. Stayed up to edit.... I was already using the calendar method they were talking about today, so I couldn't miss my upload schedule. Thanks for the Kind words!
I love the BEAUTIFUL 🇺🇸
Thx. I have an older red kitchen aid, no wisk which I wish I could buy that extra attachment.
Hmm... maybe someone has one on Ebay?
@@JoesPhenomenal perhaps. I'm just not even sure if attachments work with this model. I'll look into it. Thx again. Keep up great content. 👍
I bought it for the mayonnaise
It does a fantastic job on that. And in just a few seconds.
My mom just bought me one as a Christmas gift
Sweet! Opening gifts early, eh? Or peeking!
Great info 😁
Glad you think so!
Hi, Joe. Sorry to be a nuisance, but I was wondering which brand of immersion blender you would consider "affordable"?? As I said in one of my other comments on your other video, I'm going WFPB, and wanted to try making soups & stews in my slow cooker (I refuse to pay money for an instant pot....partly because I have a small kitchen & don't have alot of cupboard space for too many appliances). I'd mainly want to use it for semi-pureeing my soups/stews to a more creamy texture. Anyway, let me know what you'd recommend. Thanks.
LOL... no problem at all. The one I used in the video isn't made anymore, but here goes the model that replaced it on amazon: amzn.to/3GmCRB7. I think it has a 300w motor on it? comes with some cool goodies, too. Been really happy with the power on mine, and this one is a little bit stronger....
This one is a little bit cheaper, and it's pretty comparable to the other one too. amzn.to/3CiTFGR. Just an FYI that the links I sent to you here are from my Amazon affiliate account. If you purchase items through my links, I do get a small commission from Amazon, but it doesn't affect what you pay or anything like that. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that, though!
This same one you can find at Costco currently .
Do you attach the Blender to an electric socket whiles you immense the into liquid source 😉 😜?
As long as you don't do that the other way around...lol. But seriously, it has shielding in the handle that's SUPPOSED to protect you from that.... Not dead yet, so it must be working!
Do you have the exact measurements for the mayonnaise?
Sure! Here goes a link to my original mayo video. The video description has all the ingredients and measurements in it. th-cam.com/video/Hnq7QhIN14c/w-d-xo.html
@@JoesPhenomenal thank you
You got it!
I'm looking for a mini immersion blender as I need to puree our cat food since she is getting older. The reason why it needs to be smaller is because there wouldn't be enough food from the can for a normal sized blender to work correctly. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for something that will achieve the same outcome? (Ps. The can must be used within 3 days, so adding more cans will be a waste) @JoesPhenomenal
I was trying to research those for you... it seems like all the tiny ones are more suiting to just doing milk frothing and stuff like that. If you added more cans, could you keep the leftover in sealed tupperware in the refrigerator?
Can you make a green smoothie with a hand blender?
You can, but it suppose it depends on the texture that you want to get out of it. Immersion blenders make everything really smooth and creamy. Not always the best for everything.
Please Recommend me the good brand for Immersion Blender , thanks
Cuisinart, ninja, and kitchen aid all make nice ones... Even Vitamix has one.
What model is this? If you had a link for it, I would buy it.
There is a link to it on amazon in the video description. Here is goes, so you don't have to dig around in there: amzn.to/3Kl4BZ0
Can you review Cordless models?
Sure..I'll see if I can get someone to send one out. Been curious about the power difference on those ones.
Is it possible to make a frozen margarita with my Braun 9199xl?
Should be able to. I wouldn't run the speed too high though or you might liquify it a little too much
Regarding the recipe for mayonnaise… is it safe to use uncooked egg? I just purchased one am excited to start using it.
Yes you can! Just be sure you are using pasteurized eggs so you don't run any kind of risk of samonella or something like that. Most eggs (in the USA, anyway) are already pasteurized, so they are ok for the most part, but it's always a good idea to double check.
you make it look easy (the mayonaise), but when i try it it doesn't work, after a few minutes of whipping the mixture is getting warm but still not emulsifying :(
That's odd..... are you letting the eggs sit out a bit? If they are too cold, it might not blend properly. Also, what speed is your immersion blender set to? If it's set to high, it might make that happen, too, possibly?
My immersion blender broke down when I made smoothie out of frozen fruit. The plastic connection between the head and the motor literally melted. Now trying to find something where it's made out of metal.
I'll have to look into that and see if I can find anything for ya. I've never tried using immersion for something like that, but I can see why you'd want to for sure!
Instant nice cream perhaps? 🤔
You could... The blending speed is pretty high though... Might not come out As creamy.
How many watts should the Immersion Blender be since I want to buy one but see 200W all the way to 1000W and is there any difference else why are there so many different power option.
Hi, Ainz. It works a lot like it does with ordinary blenders. Typically, you get smoother results with more power since the blade spins faster and doesnt bog down as much. However, mine is only 300w and I have never had a issue with that and everything comes out buttery smooth... so, IMO power levels don't matter as much with immersion blenders... at least not with anything I've ever made with them. Hope that helps.
I guess it's like a knife sharp blades does good work. I bought one from Lego for 10 dollars used I love it.
It’s better a cordless or corded ?
This one has a cord on it, but if I replaced it, I would go cordless. A little less powerful, but the cord can get in the way quite a bit.... Might not be as big of a deal to other people though... With the cordless, you always have remember to charge it.
Just use lemon juice in single cream it turns into double cream
Thanks, Janet. Great tip!
I’m trying to decide on buying the Cuisinart Cordless vs. a corded model immersion blender. I need this mostly to mix powdered drinks in the morning and during the day. Not sure if the cord would bother me too much or not. Any recommendations?
If you plan to use it a lot I would do the cordless. I almost bought that one myself, but since I only use it occasionally, it would probably be on low battery too often for me. The cord is a little annoying though.
@@JoesPhenomenal I plan to use it to mix drinks about 3-4 times a day; however, I’m wondering if the constant recharging needed for the cordless model will eventually kill the battery.
Those batteries are usually good for quite a few charges (in the thousands) and if you're not blending for a super long time, you might get around 4 or 5 days out of a charge depending... Need to look into that and see how long that thing is supposed to run before it needs to be recharged.
Cool! Let me know how ya like it!
Can it be used in a glass cup?
Probably... I wouldn't recomment it though. The blade has a shrowd over it, but I always worry that it might catch somehow, and then you'd have glass shards flying around.
Can you use this as a milk frother?
You can... You would want to use the lowest setting on that and make sure the tip of the immersion blender is just barely submerged with part of it out of the milk.
Joe, I want to blend my morning hot Matcha with oat milk, and also I want to blend/mix my hydration powders into water. I’m thinking of getting the Cuisinart cordless hand blender. Do you think the 2.3” width of the blender will be too large for this?
I think it depends on how much you are planning to drink. As long as you can get the head of the immersion blender submerged, it should be fine though, so I would think anything over maybe a cup and a half should be pretty easy.. otherwise, you can just run it on low speed if it has variable speed control on it.
Will have to measure that and get back to ya.
OK... The Cuisinart head is about 1 1/4 deep and 2 1/2 wide. If you put thta down into something, it's going to push that liquid up anyway as it displaces it, so not too bad.
I almost bought that evolution one. I was gonna, but ended ip getting that Ninja 2 in 1 thing instead. If you plan to use it on a regular basis, I'd buy the cordless. Not having that in the way is pretty cool. Not sure how long the charge lasts on those though.
@@JoesPhenomenal Everything has changed. It turns out that a hand blender cannot froth oat milk at all, so I can only use a big blender for other tasks. I had no idea, but I tried it and it was a bust, so the KitchenAid may be going back. I’m now looking for a battery operated frother, no longer a hand blender.
Can it crush/blend ice?
They have tiny blades on them and they aren't really designed for that. I haven't tried that before, but I have a feeling it wouldn't do that very well, especially if you have larger ice cubes.
I want to make my own mayo, but is it safe to eat?
If you're using raw eggs, you're fine if you use pastuerized eggs. Most of the time they are already, but you can check with your grocer.
I just bought the one your using but haven’t used yet
Sweet! You're gonna be amazed when you see how smooth it blends stuff.
why is it that y'all show this as so easy but ya fail to mention that ya can only run that handheld blender for a few seconds at a time or it overheats, therefore making this so called simply task, LONG and DRAWN OUT lol
Which stick blender do you have? I've never had any issues with Cuisinart from that video overheating or anything... I suppose it depends on what your blending though. Super thick stuff maybe?
The cusinart does food get up into shaft?? I had a really cheap aldi one. It held food into shaft and rusted!!
The entire shaft part of the Cuisinart pops off for cleaning and has a seal on it so nothing gets in there... Typically you don't get too much up close to the top anyways, but it works nice.. I've never gotten anything up there on mine, so maybe the design is just better?
@@lianamatchak9652 yuck... That's not good at all. I Haven't had any problems with this one like that just yet Thank goodness.
