The tools I use in my tiny kitchen have to be more than functional: they have to earn their storage space by being small, powerful, multipurpose—or better yet, all three. In my latest piece for The Spruce Eats, I explain my love of one of my well-used kitchen gadgets, a Breville Control Grip immersion blender.

Since I became hooked on this immersion blender, I’ve retired my upright blender and rehomed my KitchenAid, both of which took up too much space. For a while, I didn’t even own a food processor, instead pushing my immersion blender to—and frankly beyond—its limits. It’s the tool I reach for when making fruit butter for canning, sorbet for freezing, fruit leather for dehydrating, or just simply soup for dinner.

Learn more about why I love this immersion blender in this article.

Make it, share it.

Twice as Tasty

If you’re a close reader of this blog, you probably already have an inkling of how often I use my Breville immersion blender. I mention it a lot in the recipes I share here on Twice as Tasty as my preferred small appliance for a range of tasks. These are a few of the recipes that come together easier and faster with an immersion blender:

• Improv Smoothies
• Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
• Spicy German-Style Mustard
• Grilled Tomato Pizza Sauce
• Tomato–Apple–Basil Jam
• Broccoli Cheese Soup
• Watermelon–Mint Sorbet

You can find more recipes that use an immersion blender in the recipe index and more of my work off the blog here.
