If you make soup that needs to be pureed, hands down a stick blender beats pouring hot soup back and forth to a blender or food processor. Great mayo making tool, in my opinion. Smoothies. Easily beats a blender in the cleanup department. nancy |

There are 2 distinct advantages to an immersion blender: 1. it's portable and can be used almost anywhere in the kitchen. 2. If one filled the bowl on a regular blender with hot liquid and then turns it on - one creates an explosive situation and the food to be blended ends up either on the ceiling on scalding the face & hands of the user or both. This does not happen with an immersion blender. Dimitri |

The Robot Coupe Immersian blender for restaurant use is pricey though. But do they ever work, you could puree the world with one of those babies.

Ghetto salsa 32 oz. can of diced/stewed tomato 1 whole head of garlic, all busted out of the skin 1 C cilantro leaves and stems (God, the stems have the best flavor) juice from 1-1.5 lime dump and blend with hand blender This salsa isn't as great as some others; but is a nice dipper in a pinch. About 10 minutes to get it ready. I also add ground red pepper: ancho if your mild, pequin if you like the bite, chipotle for smoke, arbol for fruitiness, etc. A little Yucateco added if your habanero crazy. I love it but not everybody has similar taste, so I leave it mild for company I know won't appreciate that pop. |

I don't even wanna think about clean up. With a stick blender, it's barely an additional step. My blender went from occasionally used to family pass-me-down. I discovered my mom has an original Vita-Mix blender around here, somewhere. I've considered dragging it out and making some peach pit and chicken bone smoothies. ;) nb |

I am with Om on this one:) I have a liquidiser on my Kenwood and a Magimix, but my immersion blender is so much easier and simpler for soups!

The only edge the immersion blender has (besides ease of cleaning) is being able to blend lots of hot stuff right in the pot, rather than doing it in batches (or risking hot-top explosion) by doing it in the blender.
