You got how many immersion blenders?!

5.

Pictured above are the three that I ended up keeping.  For various different reasons, I was unable to return these.

So, I did what any kosher cook would do, I kept them.  And stuck them into random locations around my house.

The hand blender on the right is my milchig blender.  It's a standard Cuisinart immersion blender that has a detachable (and supposedly dishwasher-safe, but I lack a dishwasher to test that theory out with) blade and a mixing cup.

The blender in the middle aka my pareve blender is also a Cuisinart detachable hand blender, but this one comes with bells and whistles.  In addition to the regular blade and plastic mixing cup, this has a food processor chopping attachment and a wire whisk.

And last but not least, the blender on the left is my pareve Pesach immersion blender.  I've been lucky enough to be blessed with the long and very difficult task the absolute joy of making Pesach for the last four years.  (Yes, I've been married for four years.  Yes, that is a random strange coincidence).  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) that blender does not reside in my kitchen.  At the moment it lives up in a closet and so it will not be tested right now.  Besides, I have vague memories of finding the darn thing it useful last Pesach.  On the other hand, I had a newborn so my memories are suspect to sleep deprivation.

Other than the Pesach blender, until now, I can honestly say that the best thing about these immersion blenders is that the mixing cups are absolutely WONDERFUL.  No matter what happens when immersion blender month is up, the mixing cups are NOT LEAVING.  They will be staying in their respective cabinets where they belong.  After all, they have a pouring lip, easy to read measurements in both ounces and cup size, and best of all, they don't break when your toddler slams them on the floor.  Not that that's ever happened in my house or anything.

Moving on.

So, Feb 2011 is officially, test out the handblenders month.

I mean seriously, I don't even use ONE of the immersion blenders.  Why am I even bothering to keep 3?

Although when I told a friend of mine that I returned two immersion blenders after receiving 5 she was dumbfounded by the fact that I didn't keep them for fleishig (Pesach and year round).  Fellow blogger (glutenfreebay.blogspot.com) also indicated that immersion blenders are a kitchen miracle.


So I'm off and running.


I'll let you know how each recipe turns out.  And whether my immersion blenders stay Kosher Kitchen Stuff or if they become a donation to the local Chesed (charity) fund!
