attachment for blending directly in the panI bought this for one task - making homemade raw sesame tahini from unhulled brown sesame seeds. I've been using a Family Grain Mill to grind the seeds, but it doesn't get them fine enough to release enough oil to make a spreadable mixture. I'd end up adding extra sesame oil and commercial tahini to bind the crushed seeds into a paste. So far, I haven't found the stick blender very effective on whole seeds. It slices up some of them, but most of them end up sprayed all over the kitchen, or slipping between the blades unharmed. Once they have been through the Grain Mill though, the DeLonghi blender quite effectively turns "crunchy" into "creamy". You can tell it is working hard, it gets quite warm quickly. I'm really glad I chose the 380 Watt model over the typical under-200W brands. That's where the surprise comes up. The instructions specify a duty cycle of 50 seconds per four-minute period, or 20%. The feel (and fragrance) of the blender fighting sesame seed paste confirms that recommendation! Luckily I was able to process about a pint of seeds into a luxurious creaminess on each 50 second run. The stick blender is perfect for the job because you can chase the sesame glob around the bowl until it is done, no need to stop and scrape the food back toward the action. Cleanup is also super easy, especially compared to cleaning the mill, or a juicer with a "homogenizing" plate. So I'm happy, and who knows, I may find other uses for the blender and its gadgets.
The product arrived just as described and was the perfect wedding gift I had had trouble finding a similar product. This surpassed my expectations
This hand blender is a quality tool. Very powerful motor with smooth speed control. I like the extra large blender attachment that you can use right in the sauce pan. The overall quality of this product is high. I have used it a bunch already & no problems. I believe that this hand blender is good value for your money. I was tired of buying the cheep store brands & replacing them every 6 months. This one is heavy duty & built to last.
exactly as described on overstock. a great multipurpose kitchen tool
I got this to make pureed soups and smoothies and think it's great. I have also used it as a mini food processor and to make salad dressing. I haven't had any problems. I did read the user manual, which I think is an important step so that you read things like where it says, DO NOT BLEND ICE. It's easy to use and very handy.
Bought this as a replacement of my cuisinart that kicked it after only 3 uses. What a difference! Haven't had it long but the feel of it is much more sturdy/secure. Love all the extra attachments although I'm not sure what to do with all of them. It was between this one and the breville. So far so good!
