Blending sticks, also known as immersion blenders or hand blenders, are kitchen appliances designed for pureeing and mixing ingredients directly in a pot or bowl. They consist of a long handle with a blending blade at the end, allowing users to blend soups, sauces, and smoothies without transferring food to a traditional blender. These tools are convenient and easy to use, making them popular among home cooks and professional chefs alike. Many blending sticks come with various attachments, such as whisk or chopping blades, enhancing their versatility in preparing a wide range of dishes.
