13_AJLet’s talk about one of our favorite kitchen tools, the immersion blender! This little gadget is a fantastic way to make your cooking easier, and to yield better results. Large appliances are wonderful but generally costly, take up considerable space and can be a bit intimidating for the novice chef. An immersion blender can be used for everything from making homemade whipped cream, salad dressings, soups, smoothies, salsa, milkshakes, sauces like ketchup or mayonnaise… we can’t say enough about how useful this addition to your kitchen will be. Happy cooking!
