Culinary Techniques: Using a Hand Emulsion Blender

The emulsion blender (also known as a hand blender) is one of the best kitchen appliances because it is easy to use, easy to clean, and works great! It is small and portable so you can put it right into a dressing jar or a pot of soup, push the button and blend (or "emulsify")! It gives your dressings, sauces, and soups a rich, creamy texture and it's much easier to clean than a blender!
