Are you also struggling to tell the difference between the blender and beater? If yes, let me tell you that I also faced the same issue recently. Many people consider blenders and beaters the same. Even my mother used to think that whatever she could do with a blender could also be done with the beater. However, it's not like that. If you use these appliances correctly, your kitchen becomes even more convenient. That is why you need to know what a blender is used for and what work you can do with a beater. Remember the difference will only help you work better.

What is a beater?

  • A beater, also called a stand or hand mixer, is a kitchen appliance using a gear mechanism to revolve beaters set in a liquid or food bowl by beating them. Beater help in the tasks of whisking, whipping or mixing.
  • The beater is used to beat and whip ingredients such as curd, cake mix and eggs. You can use the beater to blow air into it for anything you want. For example, if preparing moong dal vadas, you must ground lentils. For this, you can beat it with a beater and make vadas from it. Beaters are also used to make fruit cream. Apart from this, if you are making mustard greens (sarson ka saag), after boiling, add the tempering, and after beating it with a beater, it will become more delicious.

What is a blender?

  • A blender is an instrument used to crush, blend, emulsify or purée food. A standing blender consists of a container powered by an electric motor with a revolving metal blade at the base. 
  • Do you know it's easy to make anything in a blender? For example, the blender is used for making a puree of vegetables and fruits. But, do you know you can also make cocktails from it? This is because its blades are so sharp that whatever you put in them, it turns into a puree within a few seconds.
