Have you used an immersion blender?

Making the best use of an immersion blender

I never - well, almost never - met a kitchen gadget I didn’t like, so recently got an immersion blender. I’ve used it twice and it seems handy, I suppose, in that you don’t have to use and clean a regular blender. Also, I have a cordless one, so there is more mobility than there would be with a plugged in blender. It was nice with the cream of spinach soup I just made; I cooked all the vegetables in chicken broth until soft, stuck the immersion blender straight into the pot after the soup coole…

The one I got was KitchenAid. I don’t use it a lot, but when I do I am very happy with it, and I am very glad I opted for cordless.
