If you want to make whipping, chopping and mixing an absolute cinch when it comes to cooking, a stick blender is going to be your best friend in the kitchen.

A stick blender is a hand-held, mini version of a food processor with a detachable shaft that’s able to blend and puree with ease. They’re also called immersion and hand blenders, and they take up a fraction of the room that a bulky traditional blender does. Think baby food in minutes (without needing a baby food maker), smoothies in seconds and cocktails quicker than you can say ‘cheers!’

If you’re hunting for the best hand-held blender in Australia, you’ll find it on our list. So get comfy and start thinking of how much time you’ll save having the right appliance at your fingertips.

Best tips for buying a stick blender in Australia

We know, there are a lot of stick blenders in Australia, but if you’re not sure where to start, think about what works best for your family: the types of meals you cook and what functions you really need. Take a look at these top tips to help your decision-making:

Think functionality: Most stick blenders come with at least one attachment, others come with a whole range. If easier food preparation is essential, for example chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit, make sure the unit has that function and appropriate attachment.

If you’re more of a baker, you’ll probably want a stick blender with a whisk attachment. And if you really need to make more room in your cupboard, look for one that does the job of a few other appliances, like blending, chopping, whisking and whipping.

How much power do you need? Not all stick blenders are created equal. Some have a higher wattage, which helps them power through tougher ingredients.

Always consider safety. If you want to make sure you’re protected while using a stick blender, look for a good blade guard and handle grip to keep it firmly in your grasp.
