Purpose
Many housewives ask themselves the question - why do we need a blender, if in the arsenal of kitchen utensils there is already a grater, meat grinder, combine, juicer, mixer and similar devices that are familiar and reliable. Indeed, you should not write them off, but with the majority of cooking processes, the blender can handle it faster and with better quality. This compact device has absorbed all the functions of its predecessors, significantly podnatorev in speed and losing in volume.
It is worth adding a new technique to equipping an old kitchen, and the daily duties of a hostess will turn into pleasure!

Ideal for making mashed soups and creams, and the stuffing will be much softer than when using a manual or electric meat grinder.

In addition to preparing the ingredients for cooking, frying or baking, blender perfectly copes with dishes that do not need heat treatment.

Separately, it is worth noting the usefulness of a blender in grinding food for baby food and cooking puree dishes from the diet of the elderly. He quickly cope with raw and boiled, hard and soft products, turning them into a puree of perfect consistency and uniformity.

Complete set and principle of work
Philips blenders are divided into two types: immersion and stationary. They perform similar functions, but differ from each other in appearance, size and configuration.






Stationary
Created to grind meat, vegetables and fruits, solid foods like nuts, biscuits, crackers. Suitable for kneading egg-based creams, shaking cocktails. Most of them have the function of splitting ice, which is not accessible to every device. Also, modern models are equipped with a cutter, they can even knead the dough.
The design of the blender is whole. The upper part is a glass or plastic bowl with a volume from 400 mm to 2 liters, in which the processes of grinding products take place, the lower one is a stand-drive. It is convenient to use such a device, as it is securely fastened to the working surface.






The stationary blender is started with one click of a button, the speed can be adjusted. The noise level is acceptable, but still it is better to test the technique before buying. During operation, it is stable on the table, so you do not need to keep it. Some models are equipped with a self-cleaning mechanism, so it is easy to wash them after use, just pour into a clean water jug and start the process.

A stationary blender is a more affordable purchase option, but it will take up more space than an immersion blender.


Submersible
They represent a hand-held device with interchangeable nozzles, which is dipped into a bowl for grinding food, making tender purees and desserts, making uniform baby food, beating fluffy creams and mousses. This design is called "foot." It consists of a plastic and metal housing, under which the motor is hidden, and an elongated mechanical part for interchangeable nozzles. Capacities of different sizes are included, but if necessary, they can be replaced with any convenient packaging.






The main types of nozzles and their application:
- chopping knives;
- a whisk, whipping cream of eggs, protein and milkshakes; suitable for kneading dough without lumps, cooking airy and light consistencies;
- "Meat" and "vegetable" chopping nozzle in the form of a bowl with double knives;
- vacuum pump for pumping air from the tank with products for long-term storage;
- grinder - closed container with a knife at the bottom, used for grinding coffee, nuts, crackers for breading, raw and cooked vegetables;
- multifunctional nozzle consisting of a bowl and knives-grinders - food processor in miniature.


In addition to accessories, accessories may include: a rod-holder for disks, a scraper, a sleeve, a coupling, connecting parts, spare parts for repair.

Unlike stationary blenders, submersible need to be kept in hand. At first glance, this is inconvenient and tedious, but it is worth trying to make sure that the speed of the blender is so high that the dish is ready before your hands get tired. Submersible blenders are more functional in use due to the large number of nozzles and less overall.


Specifications
It is no secret that, first of all, women pay attention to the appearance of household appliances. Of course, a blender can be beautiful and should organically fit into a kitchen setting, especially a stationary one; however, other characteristics are much more important in practical use: power, speed and number of gearshifts, material, operating modes, type of food.

Power
One of the main parameters of technology for the home - power. The speed and quality of food processing will depend on the extent to which it varies. The dependence is directly proportional: higher power - the device works faster and with better quality. The lower threshold for blenders is 140 watts, and the maximum allowed is 1200 watts. The most popular and practical models in use are from 350 to 800 watts.

Models 550-600 W are suitable for grinding the hardest ingredients. 650-700 W can handle any ingredients, including ice. 800 - power level, revealing all the possibilities of the blender, suitable for the use of various nozzles, copes with the ingredients of any degree of hardness, gives an excellent result in cooking.

Switching mode and number of speeds
An important characteristic of the device - the speed of work. As a rule, their blender has 1-24 or from 0 to “Turbo”. Two options of switching of speeds: smooth and step. In the first version, it is easier to choose the desired speed, control and vary it, depending on the desired result. Throughout the work, the speed can be increased, kept at one pace or reduced, which allows you to cook even the most "capricious" dishes and desserts perfectly.

Power Type
Like many household appliances, the type of power supply of a blender is divided into two types: mains powered and battery powered. Both species have advantages and disadvantages. For example, a mains powered blender will always outperform a battery powered device. With wireless, you can move around the kitchen, and not be located where there is a power outlet, but the battery lasts for half an hour, and you have to charge it again for 4 hours. In the price ratio, the wireless blender will cost a bit more.


Material
Choosing a blender, you should pay special attention to the materials from which its components are made. The body behind which the motor hides may be made of metal or plastic, replaceable nozzles are made of the same materials, and the bowls and mixing containers may be made of glass or plastic. Combined options are possible: a plastic stand-drive and a glass bowl, metal nozzles and a plastic "leg", "leg" and nozzles made of metal, and a bowl of plastic.


The optimal combination for a blender that lasts a long time and truly - metal and glass. Moreover, the best among the metal components are parts made of titanium. Such a combination will cost much more than plastic products, but will withstand operation for a long time, will not absorb odors of products, and allow working with both cold and hot products.


Noise level
Directly dependent on power, not on the model. The faster and better the device works, the higher the level of noise generated by it.

Types of models
