How Do You Make Drinks Using A Handheld Blender?
Handheld blenders save time and alleviate you from having to wash out a blender jar. These small kitchen electrics perfectly puree ingredients in single-serving sizes, but keep in mind that this benefit has some costs. Motors and blades on handheld (stick) blenders do not equal the power of traditional bar blenders, and you should avoid preparing slushy drinks requiring ice crushing. For best results, prepare smoothie drinks made from soft fruits or milkshakes. Choose the recipe to make (see Resources for ideas). Convert traditional bar blender recipes to a handheld blender by only making those with soft ingredients. Do not use a handheld blender to crush ice. Cut any solid ingredients (e.g., soft fruits or cooked vegetables) into 1-inch pieces. Do not to include hard ingredients such as raw, hard fruits and vegetables. Fill the blending cup halfway with ingredients to prevent splattering. Use a deep cup with straight sides if your handheld blender did not come with a blending cup acce
