What types of blenders are there?

There are many types of blenders, each with a different purpose. One blender is used to blend and puree ingredients, think delicious smoothies. While another blender is actually used for preparing a delicious fresh soup.

A common type is the power blender, which has a powerful motor that allows it to blend tough ingredients. A smoothie blender to go is meant to make a quick smoothie in the morning. You can take the blender cup on the go and you can drink directly from it. The soup blender (as the name implies) is meant specifically for soup, it blends the soup and also cooks it right away. The vacuum blender is meant to preserve vitamins and minerals as much as possible.

Powerblender

The power blender is especially for slightly rougher ingredients, as this blender features a power rating of at least 1200 watts. Because of the high power, even ice cubes are no big challenge for this blender. The power blender also beats frozen fruit to a pulp in no time. Because the Mixing bowl is made of strong material it is resistant to the tougher products. The brand Hendi for example, has good power blender with an output of 1680 watts.

Almost every power blender has a dial to adjust the speed, when you start blending you should always take the lowest setting and build up slowly. This will reduce the ingredients flying around and therefore you don't have to scrape with your spatula. Your safety is also important, so before turning on the power blender always check that the lid is tightened properly. This can prevent a lot of mess and more importantly an accident!

Smoothie blender to go

Making smoothies has never been as easy as with the smoothie blender to go. The mixing cup that is used for blending can then also immediately be used as a drinking cup in the car. A small but practical product, perfect for when you want a fresh smoothie in the morning. Plus point: you are not with all the extra dishes that you also have to go through in the morning. The brand Alessi Has one with a capacity of 550 ml.

Soup blender

The soup blender is ideal for everyone who loves soup. You can put in uncooked, cold ingredients and the blender makes it a delicious soup. There is a dual function on this blender: firstly, the soup blender ensures that the soup is heated and the blender also keeps an eye on whether your soup will not continue to cook for too long. When the soup is up to temperature, the heated function switches to the warm function, the latter ensures that the soup stays nice and temperature. A double -walled can also be useful to keep the soup up to temperature longer, with this you also save energy. That is immediately a handy blender to add to your kitchen appliances to easily make soup.

Vacuum Blender

Smoothies are often made because they are tasty and above all very healthy. A vacuum blender provides extra healthy smoothies, because when he starts blending, it immediately extracts all oxygen, so that the minerals and vitamins are retained as well as possible. The ingredients also stay fresh for longer and retain a nice color. You often see when you get started with a normal blender for smoothies that a foam layer is coming on. You prevent this by using a vacuum blender.
