Blender

A blender consists of a sort of "propellor" or knife blade, driven by an electrc motor.

Ideal for transforming a lumpy mixture into something smooth and homogenized.

There are two kinds: classic blenders with a goblet into which one pours the substance to be blended, and hand blenders which are cheaper and more practical, which can be plunged directly into a bowl or pan.

If you intend to buy:

Choose the hand blender if possible, with a power rating of at least 400 Watts, with a sharp blade. It is useful to be able to take the blender apart for cleaning.
On the other hand, having lots of different speeds serves no real purpose.
