As in sticks? Thunderstick that is…or a hand blender or an immersion blender if you want to be technical. My mother asked me about this gadget. She was trying to explain it, gesturing how it worked and I was trying to understand her and starting to get scared about where the conversation was heading. You get the picture. Imagine her face when I described commercial immersion blenders that are built like jackhammers!
Well mom, this post is for you.
My pick for the best model to get for the home chef is from KitchenAid. I have one at home (for the past 5 years) and there is one on the ship where I cook. It performs very well, has held up to high use and the accessories are worth it. I will throw fresh garlic and herbs into the chopper and add oil for a fast way to season potatoes before roasting. I also use this for soups constantly. You can turn a can of diced tomatoes into a yummy soup in a flash.
I could go on and on. What can I say, I just love my thunderstick. Gift the gift of thunder this season.
