Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blenderīoth brands are known for quality products, but the Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender is designed for a different market than the All-Clad we reviewed. This stand-alone blender doesn’t include extras, but its strong power and high-quality performance help to justify the price tag.Ĭompetition: All-Clad Immersion Blender vs. While there are immersion blenders that clock in at higher prices, many of them include accessories like milk frothers and blending cups that add to the price. The blender had no issues whipping air into two egg yolks before we started drizzling the oil in to make a perfect mayonnaise. A small brush can also come in handy to clean small bits of food remnants that remain under the blade. The fruit came off easily when we rinsed the blade under clean water. After we made our jam we found it was easy to get the sticky stuff removed by immersing the blender in a container with soapy water and turning it on for a minute or two. The upper body should be wiped with a damp cloth, while the blade can be washed under running water, with care taken to avoid getting water inside the shaft. The All-Clad Immersion Blender is compatible with accessories such as a whisk or mini chopper, but those items are sold separately. Meanwhile, the low speed was great to use with thin, splashy liquids since we could start slowly to avoid messes. But unlike other stick blenders we used, we didn’t feel a need to continuously boost speed with turbo since the high speed was impressive by itself. The turbo button was also a good feature when we needed just a little extra boost of speed. We liked the variable speed control at the top of the blender and there was a very noticeable difference from low speed to high speed. The Spruce Eats / Donna Currie Features: Variable speed The tight connection meant that when our hands were a bit wet or greasy, we sometimes had to grab a towel to twist the two pieces apart, but that’s better than having a loose connection that could come apart accidentally. There’s a defined click when the pieces are together, so there’s no doubt that it's positioned properly.

The base simply twists onto the top piece and lock/unlock icons make it easy to figure out how to connect the two. Tasks were also made quick because the blender did an impressive job drawing liquid into the blades. It wasn't unreasonable, however, since we often used the blender in short bursts. Instructions say the blender shouldn’t be used continuously for more than a minute, which seems short. It worked remarkably well, quickly producing a thick whipped cream. While there are many other ways to make whipped cream, we decided to give it a try in a measuring cup. We liked the variable speed control at the top of the blender and found there was a very noticeable difference from low speed to high speed. We bought the version that comes with a cord, but there's also a cordless version available. All-Clad makes this immersion blender in two different styles. The top third of the shaft is also covered in a black plastic that feels grippy and stays cool to the touch. We were easily able to put the shaft and body together because both pieces feature a ribbed black ring to showcase where the connection points are. The body and shaft of the blender are made of brushed stainless steel, so it looks both upscale and durable. Because of the extra length, it keeps hands further from hot soups and sauces while they’re being blended. This immersion blender is larger than most home-use models we’ve tried, but not excessively so-we measured it at just under 17.5 inches tall when assembled. Did this hand-held blender puree these foods into the right consistencies? Read on to find out. When we learned that we were testing the All-Clad Immersion Blender, we simmered dried beans on the stove to make refried beans and gathered eggs and oil to make mayonnaise.
