A blender is essentially an appliance you can't live without if you want to turn solid ingredients into liquid deliciousness from smoothies and shakes to salad dressings and soups. Blenders are versatile appliances that have a variety of uses in the home. Blenders liquefy and emulsify softer food ingredients, such as fruit and yogurt, which results in a thick consistency and a smooth texture.
The main features that differentiate one blender from another are motor speed, controls and design. The motor at the bottom has a control panel with several different speeds. This motor drives a pitched blade that chops the items that are put into the blender. A tapered cylindrical pitcher with a lid attaches to the base.
The shape of the pitcher, which can be either plastic or glass, and the pitch of the blades create a kind of tornadic action which circulates the contents and chops them to the desired consistency. The pitcher has a lid that usually has a rubber seal that prevents any food from spraying out. Apart from these standard and generic features, different brands and models offer little touches which can help you make the decision.
A blender works only when proper use and care is taken. The pitcher should always be locked into place, the lid tightly secured and the base should be on a flat and even surface before using. Caution should always be heeded around the stainless steel blades. Only proper types of food in small quantities should be put into the pitcher to assure the blender works correctly. Running the blender for a long time or overstuffing it might harm the blender or burn it out.
