Blender For making smooth purées and sauces. Also useful for grinding and crumbing dry ingredients. A hand-held blender is extremely useful for puréeing ingredients, such as poached fruit, without having to pour them into a special goblet. Some hand-held blenders also have whisk and chopper attachments, which are ideal for whipping cream or whisking a small number of egg whites and chopping nuts.
Electric beater A hand-held electric beater is a good basic piece of equipment for creaming mixtures, whisking egg whites, beating eggs and whipping cream.
