Apart from being a handy helper in your day-to-day meal preparation, like whipping up everything from soups to smoothies, a hand blender is an impeccable tool to take your baking to the next level. Baking can get as therapeutic as you want to make it. If you like to bake, you must have mastered making dry cakes and cookies.
Now, if you want to take your freshly baked products to the next level, surprisingly, all you need to do is invest in Usha’s hand blender. Not only will it help you make the creamiest frosting, but it will also get you consistent batters every time. Read on to know how a hand blender can help you ace a wide range of baking processes.
Consistent Batters
If you have just started baking, you’d know that acing a lump-free batter can be tough. Instead of mixing the wet and dry ingredients with your hands and straining your arm, you can simply let Usha’s hand blender do its magic. Without using up many utensils, you can simply blend the batter in your bowl or a tall container, and within minutes, you’ll get a smooth consistency.
Whip Cream
If you miss having whipped cream on the top of your cakes, muffins, or even pancakes, you can quickly change that with a hand blender. Just take some heavy cream, pour it into a chilled metal bowl, and pulse. Move the handle in circular motions, and within a few minutes, you’ll see peaks forming. You can add sprinkles or chocolate chips as desired and level up your freshly baked goods.
Fruit Purees
Everyone has a thing for fruit-based desserts. Whether it’s an upside-down pineapple cake or a classic Black Forest with sliced cherries, you can make all of them better by adding fruit purees. Making the most of the naturally sweet fruits like bananas, cherries, strawberries, pineapples, and mangoes, you can puree them with Usha’s hand blender and add them to trifles, tarts, or even cakes.
Smooth Ganache
Every chocolate lover craves a smooth ganache. From making a creamy mousse to adding to a pie, ganache can make any dessert a haven for chocoholics. To make a smooth ganache, all you have to do is melt some dark chocolate and add it to heavy cream. Instead of mixing, blend at a high speed and you’ll get a smooth ganache faster than ever.
Cheesecake Base
If you often face difficulties while preparing a base for cheesecakes, custards, or even trifles, Usha’s hand blender can fix that for you. Depending on the recipe, you can mix cream cheese with crackers, brownies, or fruits. Pulse and blend at a low speed till you get an even mixture, but remember not to overblend as it can hamper the consistency of the base.
