Smart Stick Hand Blender: A Versatile Kitchen Companion

When it comes to cooking and preparing meals, having the right tools can make all the difference. In this review, we'll take a closer look at the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender and its various attachments. With its ability to emulsify salad dressings, chop nuts and vegetables, and whip eggs, this hand blender is an excellent addition to any kitchen.

One of our favorite uses for the Smart Stick Hand Blender was making emulsified salad dressing in a taller jar. Despite the jar being too short, the experiment was a complete success. We also successfully used it in a short canning jar to create a creamy salad dressing with a nice texture.

But the hand blender isn't just limited to making salad dressings. We tested its chopper attachment by pulsing some salsa in a small saucepot and found that it worked well, even if it wasn't our favorite accessory. The attachment is relatively small, so it's not ideal for large batches of ingredients. However, we did find that it was useful for prepping small amounts of nuts or garlic.

We also tried using the chopper attachment to chop some onions, but unfortunately, the results were mixed. While it worked better than our initial attempt, the chopping still wasn't as even as we had hoped. We ended up removing the large pieces and giving them another run through the chopper, which produced more consistent results.

The hand blender's reversible blade is an interesting feature that allows for easy switching between different attachments. The included whisk attachment can be used for whipping, blending, and aerating thin batters and other liquids. We found it to be particularly useful for whipping eggs for a fluffy omelet.

While the Smart Stick Hand Blender may not be perfect, its versatility and ease of use make it an excellent addition to any kitchen. With its various attachments and reversible blade, this hand blender is sure to become your go-to tool for a wide range of cooking tasks.
