blender

 

A blender, or liquidiser in British English, is a kitchen appliance used to mix ingredients or puree food. Blenders are also used to prepare emulsions, such as mayonnaise, and cream soups. Blenders are to be distinguished from lower-speed hand-powered or electric mixers that are used for mixing applications. The term typically refers to a stationary, upright electrical device, but hand-held immersion blenders have become common in recent years.
