Cuisinart CSB-79 2-Speed Handheld Blender, Stainless Steel/Black

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender is designed to handle a variety of basic tasks, such as blending, mixing, chopping, grinding, whipping, and pureeing, allowing you more time for creative culinary undertakings. With its 2-speed control, chopper/grinder, and chef's whisk attachments, this hand blender can perform the functions of 3 food prep appliances. One-touch operation and the ability to blend right in a pot, pitcher, or bowl make it a favorite among home cooks.

Cuisinart's SmartStick Hand Blender comes with whisk and chopper attachments to extend its performance capabilities. The chopper/grinder attachment can be used to process nuts, cooked meats, and cheeses, while the whisk is perfect for creating meringues and whipped cream. The slim, brushed stainicular steel housing allows for easy blending or whipping directly in the bowl, pitcher, or pot, eliminating the need for extra dishes.

Cleaning the Stick Blender is a breeze. To simplify the process, rinse the prep bowl, cover, and blade immediately after use to prevent food from drying on them. The blending shaft, whisk head, chopper/grinder bowl, and mixing cup are all dishwasher safe, while the remaining parts can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

The whisk attachment is versatile, suitable for beating heavy cream or egg whites, as well as any other task that would normally require manual whisking, such as crepe batters or eggs for omelets. For best results when beating heavy cream, use a chilled bowl and chill the whisk attachment.

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender's chopper/grinder attachment is equipped with a reversible blade, with one side being sharp and the other blunt. This blade is attached to a plastic ring that slides over the blade assembly shaft, allowing for easy reversal to select the appropriate blade.

The specially designed blade is ideal for mixing and stirring a variety of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is perfect for combining dry ingredients and can also be used to emulsify mayonnaise. This blade mixes and stirs while adding minimal air to the mixture, requiring only a gentle up-and-down motion to create the most flavorful, full-bodied liquid recipes. It is important to never remove the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender from the liquid while in operation.

The hand blender features a low/high two-speed power button, allowing you to activate it at the touch of a button. Simply press and hold down the low or high button to blend or pulse, and release the button to stop the blending. The comfortable handle provides easy control over the hand blender.

The blending attachment easily snaps into the motor body housing, with a fixed stainless steel blade partially covered by a stainless steel housing to minimize splashing. To detach the attachment for easy cleaning, press the release button on the back of the unit.

The full-size Chef's Whisk attachment also snaps into the motor body housing, making it great for whipping up creams and toppings for waffles and desserts.

The Cuisinart chopper/grinder attachment allows you to chop, mince, and grind hard cheese, onions, nuts, chocolate, carrots, and more. This attachment connects to the blender motor body in place of the blender shaft or whisk attachment.

The included 2-cup blending cup is microwave and dishwasher safe, perfect for blending drinks, shakes, salad dressings, and more. Its design allows for easy gripping and drip-free pouring.

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender features a powerful 200-watt motor and a brushed stainless steel housing with an embossed Cuisinart logo. It comes with a power cord, blending, whisk, and chopper/grinder attachments, as well as a 16-ounce mixing/measuring beaker. The push-button control allows for continuous or pulse action, and the comfortable grip handle ensures easy handling.
