Impulse purchase that paid off
I was stuck in a long checkout line at the drug store and this cute little immersion blender was on sale for $8 at the end cap. My old Waring blender is in the cabinet up above my refrigerator, seldom used and collecting dust because I just don't have the counter space for it. So I figure what do I have to lose for such low cost. It's been such a joy. I use it right on the stove top to whisk in corn starch to thicken gravies and sauces. I pop it in a tumbler to mix up a frozen cocktail or a milkshake. As long as I leave about a 2 inch splash zone it works a treat. It's not all that powerful compared to other immersion blenders on the market but it handles 2 large cubes of ice very easily, and that's really all you need for one glass. I can't see why I'd ever need a more powerful or expensive unit. It cleans up so easily. Just immerse it in a glass of water with a drop of dishwashing liquied and turn it on. No hassles, no problems.
