Commonly Asked Questions About Commercial Stick Blenders
Why are commercial stick blenders called immersion blenders?
Stick blenders are called immersion blenders because the blade at the end of their long shaft is designed to be immersed directly into liquids for cutting, chopping, and liquidising a range of foods including mash potato, sauces, mayonnaises, soups, smoothies, gravies and many other key menu items. They are not intended for stirring or folding thicker mixtures, differentiating them from other mixer devices.
Why use a handheld blender instead of a countertop commercial blender?
Catering grade handheld blenders, sometimes called an industrial stick blender, is in some circumstances preferred over countertop commercial blenders for their versatility in mixing or refreshing large quantities of food, anywhere from 4 litres to 200 litres. It surpasses the capacity limitations of standard commercial kitchen blender bowls and is compatible with nearly any type of commercial cookware or storage container, making it a flexible tool in professional kitchens.
Does it matter how long the shaft is of an industrial stick blender?
The shaft length of an industrial stick blender is important as it determines its capacity to mix, puree and liquidise in larger quantities. A longer shaft allows access to ingredients in deeper pots and pans, making it ideal for blending greater capacities. Blending shaft lengths will generally range anywhere from 126mm to 630mm depending on the intended function of the tool and the overall durability and power of the equipment. While shorter lengths are more suited to lighter duty tasks, extended lengths are particularly beneficial for heavy duty hand blenders and professional immersion blenders used in high production commercial settings.
Can you use an industrial hand blender in a bar?
While an industrial hand blender can be used in a bar, it's generally recommended to use bar blenders designed explicitly for tasks like crushing ice. Some heavy duty stick blending equipment may be able to pulverise ice with appropriate attachments, but there are other tools more suited for this purpose. It's important to consult the user manual to ensure the blender's suitability for bar tasks.
How many attachments are available for a professional stick blender?
Just as there are a wide range of cutting discs available for commercial food processors and blixers, there are also number of attachments available for a professional stick blender. This varies by brand but generally includes standard whisk, emulsifier, ricer, and homogeniser attachments. These allow for various finishes and results to be produced, meaning lightning fast prepping of a wide range of ingredients when combined with veg prep machines or potato peelers and chippers that eliminate the need for manual chopping and mashing. This flexibility and convenience makes immersion blenders highly versatile tools and essential time-saving additions to commercial kitchens.
What speed and power is needed for a heavy duty stick blender?
The power and speed (RPM) required for a heavy-duty stick blender will depend on the tasks at hand. Higher horsepower is necessary for medium to heavy food prep tasks, with options ranging from 250W to 500W. Variable or stepped speeds allow for a smooth increase in power, accommodating different ingredients and minimising mess. For hot foods or liquids, slower speeds are recommended to prevent splashing. RPM or revolutions per minute can range from light duty 500 RPM up to 20000 RPM for large scale food production. Always refer to the manual for specific speed recommendations to avoid damaging the motor of your heavy duty commercial hand blender.
Does the weight of my professional immersion blender matter?
Yes, the weight of professional hand held blenders matters, specifically because they are handheld. Frequent and prolonged use can lead to fatigue, so a comfortable weight is crucial. Brands offering bracket attachments, pan supports or clamps can alleviate this concern. Additionally, the weight may vary with different shaft lengths and attachments, which should be considered when selecting commercial immersion blenders for professional use.
Should I get a corded or cordless heavy duty immersion blender?
Choosing between a corded or cordless professional hand blender depends on your need for mobility in the kitchen. Corded models offer consistent power but limit movement and use to one area, while cordless models provide flexibility and portability but require periodic recharging. Additionally, the weight of cordless blenders may be heavier due to the battery, which is an important consideration for comfort and ease of use.
How deep can you submerge a professional hand blender shaft?
The shaft should ideally be submerged no more than 3/4 of its length. Submerging beyond this point increases the risk of food splashes entering the motor, which could lead to damage or contamination. Handheld catering kitchen blenders are available in a range of sizes with optional shaft lengths allowing for efficient food preparation to suit any sized kitchen.
Are commercial hand blenders dishwasher safe?
The removable or detachable shafts and accessories of industrial immersion blenders are generally made of stainless steel and dishwasher safe, facilitating easy cleaning. However, it's best to consult the user manual for specific instructions. If an attachment is not dishwasher safe or has a fixed shaft, it should be cleaned under hot water. Motor blocks are not dishwasher safe. Post-cleaning, ensure there is no water buildup in the tools and thoroughly dry them before use to maintain health and food safety standards.
