THE ULTIMATE MICRO MIXER
Ask any chef or home kitchen extraordinaire and they will tell you that this is one of THE gadgets that they simply could not do without. Find out why you need one and what it can do for you.
WHY YOU NEED A MICRO MIXER
They’re versatile. They make so many things. It’s not just about soup. If it needs to be pureed, whipped, emulsified, beaten or made into a smoothie or sauce, your micro immersion stick blender can do the job.
They’re fast. Really fast. Like in most cases 30 seconds and you’re done.
They’re small. Stick blenders are light, easy to handle, take up almost no space and fit just about anywhere.
They cut down on clean up. The greatest thing about using an immersion micro blender instead of a bigger appliance is that you are left with hardly any clean up. (We know! cleaning = the worst). Just clean the blender piece and whatever bowl or pot you blended your creation in, and you’re done.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOU MICRO IMMERSION BLENDER?
As mentioned this is one very versatile little kitchen tool with many different uses. Here are just a few ideas to get your imagination going…
HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
With an immersion micro blender it is so easy to make your own hollandaise sauce, and makes a seemingly complicated dish like Eggs Benedict quick and easy.
To make your own hand blender hollandaise, add two egg yolks with a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt to your bowl. Blend for about 10 seconds until eggs have lightened in colour and thickened slightly. Melt 1 stick of butter (it should be quite hot) and stream the butter into the egg yolks while blending until you have a smooth hollandaise sauce. Pour it over a poached egg or a toasted English muffin, and serve with pride!
SALSA
Everybody loves a good salsa, and if you like a smooth one, a hand held hand mixer is the perfect solution for you.
Put some tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, salt and pepper in a tall narrow dish and move the immersion mixer up and down while you blend until you have a smooth salsa.
TIP: Put the tomatoes on top – they’re easier for the blender to break down and will add some liquid to the salsa so the other ingredients blend more quickly.
PANCAKE AND WAFFLE BATTER
The handy hand held mixer is the perfect size for a breakfast’s worth of pancake batter, and it takes just 30 seconds to mix everything up lump-free. In short, everyone should be making their pancakes and waffles the hand mixer way.
Simply toss the ingredients for your favourite pancake batter into a bowl and blend until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter directly from the bowl onto a hot griddle or waffle maker, it’s never been easier.
YOUR FAVOURITE SOUP
Even though an immersion micro mixer can be used in many different ways, making creamy, delicious soup is by far the hand blender’s most frequent culinary adventure. So we couldn’t just leave it off the list!
MAKE A LATTE
And the best part for last! You can make a Starbucks quality latte at home using a Micro Blender and the microwave. Now we know you are sold!
TOP TIPS FROM THE TRADE
Wash it as soon as possible. The blade of the immersion blender has lots of hard-to-reach spots, and if you let it sit for too long it can be hard to clean it completely. As soon as you finish blending something, run the metal piece of my hand blender under very hot water and give it a gentle scrub with a soaped-up sponge.
Blend in bigger quantities. Immersion blenders work best when there’s a lot of blend-able stuff to work with. Avoid small quantities and shallow dishes – for best results, the head of the immersion blender must be fully submerged in whatever it’s blending.
Move it around. Move the blender around for best results up and down as it blends so that it picks up everything and blends evenly.
Let hot dishes cool before blending. When you’re making soups or other hot blended dishes, remove the pot from the heat and let cool for 10-20 minutes before you blend anything. Things can spatter occasionally when using a hand blender, getting hit with a drop of boiling hot soup is never any fun.

SURVIVE WINTER WITH WARM GLUHWEIN
With temperatures plummeting around S.A why not look to the people who survive the coldest winters for survival tricks? The best one according to Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns, and Danes? Gluhwein, which literally translates to glow-wine, because of how you feel after you’ve been drinking it. What a brilliant idea!
Gluhwein is traditionally served at stalls at Christmas markets to keep people warm as they shop and socialize. Germans tend to keep it pretty basic, but you can experiment and add cardamom, vanilla, ginger, or even black pepper. In the Nordic countries, they add blanched almonds and raisins to their gløgg.
TOP CORE TIPS
Mulling wine is not exactly rocket science as you will see in the recipes further below, but keep these Tips in mind:
Do not let the wine boil or you will boil off the alcohol! So clearly we have placed this Tip at the top of our list! Let it heat gently for about 20 minutes before serving.
Any dry red wine will work. It’s also not worth spending a ton of money on the wine here. You can even blend Reds together
If you really want to Glow add the optional Schuss, or shot of hard liquor.
RECIPE: GERMAN GLUHWEIN
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 medium orange
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
20 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole star anise
1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry red wine
Rum or amaretto, for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the orange in wide strips, taking care to avoid the white pith; set aside. Juice the orange and set the juice aside.
2. Combine the water and sugar in a large, nonreactive saucepan and boil until the sugar has completely dissolved. Reduce the heat and add the cloves, cinnamon, star anise, orange zest, and orange juice. Simmer until a fragrant syrup forms, about 1 minute.
3. Reduce the heat further and add the wine. Let it barely simmer for at least 20 minutes but up to a few hours. Keep an eye out so that it doesn’t reach a full simmer.
4. Strain and serve in small mugs, adding a shot of rum or amaretto and garnishing with the orange peel and star anise if desired.
RECIPE: AUSTRIAN GLUHWEIN
INGREDIENTS:
1 orange sliced
1 cup whole fresh cranberries
2 cinnamon sticks
20 whole cloves
5 star anise
1 750ml bottle of dry red wine
2 shots of Rum/Amaretto
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium pot over low heat on the stove.
2. Allow the mulled wine to slowly heat for about 20 minutes until it is simmering.
3. It is important that you do not allow your mulled wine to boil or the alcohol will be boiled off.
4. Once you are done simmering your mulled wine, strain liquid through a strainer and serve in a wine glass or mug while hot.
5. If serving at a party you can keep your mulled wine hot by storing it in a thermos or simply reheating it as needed on the stove.
DRINK. KEEP WARM. AND ENJOY!
