What is a Hand Blender?

Hand blender is also known as an immersion blender, wand blender or a stick blender. Is a kitchen appliance with blades that is used to grind, puree and blend ingredients in a container in which they are being prepared. This appliance was invented by a Swiss by the name Roger Perrinjaquet which was later patented in March 1950. This kitchen appliance has larger versions which are used for commercial purposes and they are known as boat motors. This appliance is mostly used for pureeing and emulsifying soups. It has an electric motor that drives the blades which are at the bottom of the shaft. The top is designed in such a way that makes it easy for the user to hold while using it. Some of these blenders can be used while the pan is still on the stove. These types of blenders are different from counter top blenders and food processors since they don't require a special vessel for processing or pureeing food stuff.
