Mixing, blending, whisking, shredding, slicing, kneading, emulsifying… there are so many things that you need to know about when you start cooking. As a new cook I always wondered about the various types of kitchen appliances and did not know one from another. Over the time I learnt about their functions and how to use them optimally.
For example, the stand mixer and the hand mixer do the same thing, but hand mixer will perhaps be a cheaper alternative to buy. I find the beaters and whiskers work better with hand mixer.
A food processor is must for a busy cook. It cuts, shreds, slices and kneads the dough and believe me while all these attachments are very useful, kneading dough using food processor is something that you’d really love.
A blender with a jar for dry grinding is one of the cheapest appliances, and one which is most used in every household. You can additionally purchase an immersion blender to quickly blend soups and sauces – it works better than the working with a blending jar.
Here’s a mini guide of kitchen mixers for you to quick start.
