Frequently asked questions
Can I use an immersion blender in non-stick pots?+
Yes, but be cautious. Metal shafts can scratch non-stick coatings. Use a silicone or plastic guard if provided, or avoid contact with the pot's sides and bottom.
What horsepower do I need for commercial use?+
For most commercial applications, 0.5 to 1.5 HP is sufficient. Higher power is best for heavy-duty tasks like crushing ice or blending fibrous vegetables.
How do I prevent splashing?+
Submerge the blender head fully before starting, and use a deep container. Some models have splash guards; keep the blender at an angle to minimize splashing.
Can I blend hot liquids safely?+
Yes, immersion blenders are designed for hot liquids. Avoid overfilling the pot and start at low speed to prevent splashing. Use a pot holder if needed.
