I have a Cuisinart chopper/immersion blender.
Best 60 bucks I ever spent.
I love that thing. I use it everyday.
Only thing I love more as far as kitchen appliances go is my Kitchenaid stand mixer.
I mix everything I can in it and wasn’t able to make a decent loaf of bread until I bought it.
That’s another thing that’s on the ‘wish list’!
We have something we bought from a TV ad - I think it was called ‘Thunderstick’. We used it a couple of times, and I don’t even know where it is anymore. It just didn’t puree things the way I wanted it to do.
