Professional blender: how to choose it?

The blender is an indispensable element in your professional kitchen. Before purchasing it we advise you to evaluate several elements:

 • the type of preparation you want to make;

 • the number of people to be served;

 • the minimum power necessary for your preparations;

 • the accessories ;

 • the budget.

You should know that there are four categories of blenders: traditional, multifunction, mini blenders and immersion.

The multi-function blender can also cook food and can be used for both refreshing drinks and creating hot soups.

The immersion blender is more versatile and takes up less space: in fact, they can be used both to make simple dishes and to prepare ingredients for more complicated recipes. Ideal for preparing smoothies and soups, chopping small quantities of food, blending and the most equipped models can also: grate, slice and chop, whip cream and egg whites with the whisk accessory.

Some information on immersion blenders:

 • The machine body is that part of the blender where the motor is located which generates the power to be transmitted to the blades for cutting.

 • High power allows you to work well even with a larger capacity or crush ice, you should opt for at least 400 W.

 • The simplest models operate at a single speed. The more sophisticated models have two or more speeds, as well as pulse or continuous operation.

 • When choosing the blender, the size of the glass is important. Capacities vary from 300 ml up to 2 liters.

 • It is necessary to carefully evaluate the materials of the glass: plastic products scratch more easily than glass, which also has the advantage of being able to better preserve the liquid obtained. The disadvantage of glass is that it makes the carafe heavier and more fragile. There are also glasses made of tritan plastic: it is a thermoplastic material, aesthetically beautiful and easy to handle, or stainless steel, practically indestructible, which is light and maintains the temperature.
