I was so excited to try this corded hand blender from KitchenAid. I was thinking of all the food I could prep with it and then New England decided to have a heat wave of temps close to 100 degrees. My husband asked if I could make frozen lemonade with it and I said let me try! It was a perfect blend- held up great against the crushed ice and blended smoothly. Super quiet for a mixer and such an easy clean up. When it cools down outside I can't wait to make homemade tomato soup!
