From blending to pureeing and whipping to kneading, there’s so much prep work that these devices can execute effortlessly thanks to the various hand blender attachments that come along. Some of these appliances come with multiple fittings, and it might be hard to tell which one is supposed to be used for which task. Worry not, just read on and make notes to be able to use your kitchen blender to its full potential. These mixers are designed almost like an iron box, with the attachments fitting into the bottom. They have a comfortable grip to help you go about various kinds of prep work in the kitchen.Always unplug the appliance once you've finished using it, and especially before starting to clean it. Wash the blender attachments after each use. With blades, be extra careful so as to not hurt yourself. An easy way to thoroughly clean hand blender attachments is to give them a whirl in a container filled with water and a bit of mild dishwashing liquid. Follow by rinsing the attachment in clean water. Avoid using an abrasive material to clean attachments.It's always a good idea to use hand blender attachments only for the purpose they are designed for. This will not only help you get the job done efficiently but will also prevent damage or breakdown of your hand blender.Spiral and C-shaped dough hooks also come with hand mixers. They are designed to withstand the elasticity of dough, and as such, are suited for when you’re working with heavy dough like that for bread, pasta, or pizza. This attachment mimics kneading by hand, giving you perfect results with minimal effort.
