Benefits of Cooking with a Blender

Chop, blend, mix. Now you can do any of these things in seconds with just the press of a button. Cooking with a blender is so easy that it may seem impossible to think of a kitchen without this appliance, but the truth is that this is a relatively new invention. It was only about 96 years ago (in 1922) that S. J. Poplawski invented an appliance for making smoothies, which was known as a centrifugal kitchen device. Although initially this device was designed just to mix drinks, over time it evolved into the blender as we know it today. The blender is now an indispensable tool in every home. Using this appliance offers countless advantages, but we could say that these are the main benefits of cooking with a blender: Texture The blender not only mixes ingredients. Depending on how you use it, it can chop or puree. Moreover, with the blender, you can preserve the nutrients of the food, as unlike other appliances, it does not separate the pulp, skin, and juice of fruits or vegetables. Practicality You don’t have to buy an entire collection of appliances to make wonders in the kitchen. A good blender can act as a grater, grinder, or food processor without the need to spend on more attachments. And the best part is that it fits anywhere. Cleaning Apart from saving you the cleaning of knives, cutting boards, and the mess on the kitchen countertop, maintaining a blender is very simple. A little soap and water is enough to clean the food residue. Electricity Consumption Most blenders operate within a range of 300-350 watts, while food processors use between 500 and 1500 watts. As you can see, the energy consumption is much lower with blenders. Time With a blender, you can do the same as with a mortar, a metate, or a good knife. The big difference is that it will take you much less time to chop or grind ingredients with the help of the blender.   Take advantage of all the benefits of cooking with a blender by keeping it in good condition. Always disassemble it before cleaning, and let the jar dry completely before placing it back on the motor.   Recipes You Can Prepare with a Blender: Cold Lemon Pie in a Blender Pasta with Spinach Sauce Nut Cake in a Blender Banana Daiquiri   Sources: Curiosfera.com Gob.mx Etiquetaenergetica.com
