12 Days of Christmas: KitchenAid Handblender

Have you ever wondered how I get my soups so silky and creamy? (Like my potage crécy...) I use a hand blender, a KitchenAid hand blender to be exact. I'm sure that there are some great ones out there, but if you're looking for something to blend hot liquids with, this is a great affordable option. I've owned other hand blenders in the past, but I like this one because 1) it has several speeds so you can start off slow and speed it up as you go along and 2) because the blender detaches from the handle and is dishwasher friendly! (Do you see a theme about my gadgets needing to be friendly with the dishwasher?)

I use it often to blend soups completely or to just blend a little to thicken them. It's so easy and creates less of a mess than a regular blender.

Do you have a favorite hand blender?
