Is a stick blender as good as a blender?
A stick blender, also known as an immersion blender or hand blender, is a handheld tool used to blend ingredients or purée food in a container. Stick blenders are convenient for blending small amounts of ingredients and can be used directly in a cooking pot. However, they are not as powerful as traditional countertop blenders and may not be able to completely break down tough ingredients like ice or nuts.
