Buying a new kitchen gadget can be a tough decision. Is it worth the money? Will you use it enough? Today I’m talking about a gadget that I love having in my kitchen. My immersion blender! Here are a bunch of fantastic ways to use it.

10 Ways to Use An Immersion Blender // Wondering if an immersion blender is worth the expense? Here are lots of easy ways you can use it!

I first heard about immersion blenders over a year ago when I was registering for my wedding. I decided to add it to our registry, and I was so glad I did! I’ve found so many ways to use it.

You might already have a blender, but there are lots of things that an immersion blender can do that your big blender can’t. It’s also so much easier to clean and doesn’t take much room to store.

10 Ways to use an Immersion Blender

Here are 10 ways to use an immersion blender that you may not have thought of! These tips and recipes will help you get started with your immersion blender.

Guacamole

This is probably my favorite way to use an immersion blender! The immersion blender blends the avocado perfectly. If you like your guac to be chunky, you can blend a little less. If you like it smooth, just blend longer. Here’s my favorite guacamole recipe!

Scrambled Eggs

Want the fluffiest eggs you’ve ever had? Use an immersion blender to mix them up before cooking. This technique is also great for omelets, french toast and other breakfast favorites. Here’s a great way to use your scrambled eggs: this Breakfast Puff Pastry from A Joyfully Mad Kitchen.

Whipped Cream

Making homemade whipped cream is actually so easy! And using an immersion blender makes for less clean-up. I made some to use as a pancake topping with this recipe.

Puréed Soups

An immersion blender is also great for puréed soups. This Pumpkin Soup is made in the slow cooker and then you can purée without having to transfer to another container!

Salsa

Homemade salsa is the best! Just like with guacamole, you can blend the salsa to your liking.

Smoothies

Instead of bringing out your big blender to make a smoothie, use your immersion blender! The container that comes with the blender is just the right size for a smoothie.

Milkshakes

And of course, we can’t forget about milkshakes! Just like with a smoothie, you can use the container from the blender as your cup after blending up the milkshake.

Pancakes

This is the easiest way to get lump-free pancake batter! Plus you can just pour the batter from the container right onto the griddle. Some immersion blenders even come with a container that has a spout that is perfect for this.

Tomato Sauce

Have you ever tried making your own tomato sauce for spaghetti or chicken parmesan? You can get exactly the flavor you want, whether it’s extra garlic-y or super chunky. After simmering the ingredients in a saucepan, you can use your immersion blender to blend it to just the consistency you want.

Apple Butter

This one is perfect for Fall! One of my food blogger friends, Kathryn from Family Food on the Table shared a yummy apple butter recipe that I’ve been wanting to try. It’s made in the slow cooker and then you can use your immersion blender to finish it up.

Do you have an immersion blender? What are some of the creative ways you use it?

    When I was growing up I just called it “the milkshake maker!” Ha! I honestly never knew it had another use until I started watching The Food Network about ten years ago!! I never thought to use it for pancakes or scrambled eggs! Thanks for sharing those tips!

      I’ve found so many great ways to use it! Making milkshakes may be the best way to use it though 😉
