![]() Although it had been a fairly involved prep, the cleanup was over in just a few minutes. The Mueller device didn't have the power to make my sauce entirely smooth, but this minor setback didn't affect the taste of the pesto.Īlthough I was left satisfied with my strawberry soup and pesto, what made me proclaim hand blender loyalty came at the end of the meal. After a few minutes of blending, I called it off - even though I was still left with some chunky leaf bits. I hiked the speed up to six, then eight, then quickly back down as the pesto began to splatter out of the jar. I had to futz with the ingredients until the pine nuts and basil leaves were taken up by the blades. After tossing all my ingredients into a mason jar, I inserted the hand blender and started the device on a speed of three out of eight. But in the end, it easily chopped through the fruit, and I was impressed by how simple it was to use. Because of this rule (and the general size of the machine), it took a bit longer to perfectly puree about two pints of strawberries using this device than it would have in a food processor. If you’re mixing “heavy or hard food,” the manufacturer recommends taking a break every 20 to 30 seconds. The blender isn't meant to run for any longer than 50 seconds at a time. (Pro tip: turn the engine off before lifting the blender out of your concoction, or your story may end very differently.)

The Mueller is missing one and, honestly, it would have been a welcomed addition. Some hand blenders come with a beaker to keep the operation contained. My first test was pureeing the bejesus out of a bowl of strawberries. Instead, I chose to whip up a cold strawberry soup and pesto sauce. Since we're in the middle of summer, I wasn’t about to experiment by making a hot stew as my first meal. The multipurpose tool arrived with three interchangeable heads: a blending shaft, a whisk and a milk frother. ![]() Mueller Austria 9-Speed Immersion Hand Blender And after seeing five-star ratings from almost 10,000 reviewers, I knew that I was on the right track to possibly finding my own magic kitchen device. I had to learn why this handheld device had so enthralled the savvy women I knew - and, seemingly, all of TikTok.įor my investigation, I used the Mueller 9-Speed Immersion Hand Blender, which has sent the good people of TikTok raving for its quality and versatility. Cooking influencers showed off how simple it was to whip up smoothies and one-bowl meals. Then, earlier this year, demonstrations of the magical device began going viral on TikTok. I was thoroughly impressed and assumed that the mysterious, yet effective, soup tool was something reserved for only the most knowledgeable of chefs. I watched a savvy British woman make pumpkin soup with what she kept calling her “magic wand.” Years later, I witnessed another impossibly wonderful Dutch woman do the same, but she used her "wand" on squash. ![]() The first time I saw one, I was young and working as an au pair in Paris. As strange as this may sound, I’ve always had this fairy tale idea about hand blenders.
