Blender
- This article is about the kitchen appliance. For the 3D computer graphics program, see Blender (program)
A blender is an electric kitchen appliance used for making drinks, mixing liquids, and puréeing (chopping up into small bits) fruits and vegetables for sauces and soups.
Parts of a blender
A blender consists of a glass or plastic container with a mounted blade in the bottom, and a base that has an electric motor and switches to turn on the motor or change its speed. Blenders are used to make milk shakes (a blend of ice cream and milk) and fruit smoothies (a mix of fruit and ice).
Food made with blenders
Blenders are also used to make cold alcoholic drinks that include crushed ice or ice cream, such as margaritas and Mississippi Mudslide drinks. As a rule, blenders with a power of less than 1500 watts and a knife rotation speed below 20 thousand rpm are not professional. Important in determining the professionalism of the blender is the presence of built-in automatic programs and automatically switching speeds.[1]
