I love blendy things. 🌀 I always knew I needed the Cuisinart food processor in my kitchen. Learned that from every mom ever. But what I never really knew I NEEDED in my kitchen was a simple immersion blender. These things are a fraction of the price of a food processor or a blender, and they’re super versatile. I use mine almost every day to make purées. It’s nice to use an immersion blender because you just stick it in whatever pot, pan, or bowl your food is in. With blenders and food processors you got a whole army of parts to wash afterwards.
Also worth noting: I never believed a friend about these things. She always said you gotta get one, and I was like, eh I mean do they really blend everything together? It looks so small and powerless? They do. She was right.
