Stick Blenders
Stick (immersion) blenders are handheld motorised blending wands used directly in pots and containers to puree soups, sauces and batters without transferring hot liquid to a separate jug, a staple in pub, care home and hotel kitchens for speed and easy cleanup.
Key specifications
Motor power and shaft length are the two checkpoints: light-duty models run 250-400W with a short shaft for small pans, while heavy-duty commercial versions reach 500-1000W with longer shafts (350-600mm) for deep stockpots. Detachable blending heads that are dishwasher-safe matter for daily hygiene turnaround.
Stick Blenders — FAQs
What power stick blender do I need for large batches of soup?
For deep stockpots and daily high-volume soup production, a 500-1000W motor with a longer 400-600mm shaft copes better than lighter 250-400W models designed for smaller, occasional batches.
Can a stick blender replace a jug blender in a care home kitchen?
For pureeing soups and modified-texture meals directly in the cooking pot, yes — stick blenders are faster and easier to clean, though a jug blender still gives a smoother finish for chilled purees or drinks.
Dynamic and Robot Coupe carry most of the range, with CombiSteel and Buffalo also well represented.
