افضل انواع الخلاطات can help you whip up smoothies, puree soup, create nut butter and crush ice. But, the best blenders do so much more.

Whip Up Delightful Creations: Best Blenders for Home Chefs
There are several factors to consider when selecting the right blender for your needs. Carla Contreras, a professionally trained chef and food stylist, explains that one of the most important factors to consider is how you plan to use the blender and what recipes you’ll be making with it. Whether you’ll be using the blender primarily for drinks or making more complicated recipes will dictate what kind of features you want in your blender, she adds.
If you’re planning on mostly whipping up drinks, a high-powered standard blender will do the trick. This no-frills option performed well in our tests, whipping up a velvety smoothie (though with specks of kale and frozen banana) and crushing ice with ease. It’s also a great choice for small kitchens, as it doesn’t take up much counter space and is a cinch to clean.
If you’re blending up baby food, or just prefer the look and feel of glass, consider investing in a dedicated baby-food blender. These types of blenders combine steam-cooking and blending in the same unit, which eliminates the need to separate and cook ingredients before pureeing.
