Whisks for a blender: types and rules of operation

These days, it is impossible to imagine a kitchen without a blender. This indispensable helper can whisk, stir and grind food. Using a blender, they prepare cocktails, sauces, make dough for pancakes and various pastries, grind minced meat and much more.

The blender has several attachments, it all depends on the configuration and model. But no blender model is complete without such a necessary device as a whisk. Sometimes removable nozzles become unusable and the question arises before the hostess: how to replace the old blender whisk with a new, better one.

First, you need to figure out what a whisk is. This part is made from aluminum wire, which does not corrode. The whisk is used for whipping and mixing batter, as well as for making juices, glaze, smoothies, cocktails and sauces.

Products have a different shape, which depends on the purpose. Regular models are used for mashed potatoes, creams and cocktails. They can be oval, straight or wavy. There are special-purpose models. Such products can replace a full-fledged mixer.

Using this appliance for cooking saves time. Whisk quickly and easily into pancake or pancake dough, or make a lush omelette in a minute. When preparing creams and glazes the whisk mixes well without leaving lumps.

The light weight makes this part easy to use, and the high-speed mode button will help you quickly and efficiently prepare a dessert of any complexity. Plus, the blender whisk attachment is easy to remove and clean.

Among the shortcomings, the fragility of the product can be noted if the rim is made of not very high-quality materials.

Some housewives consider a device with a two-whisk attachment to be one of the most convenient. Manufacturing companies did not stand aside - many blender and mixer models are available with a double nozzle for whipping and mixing products.

The manufacturer Philips just produces double blender attachments. The product crushes, whips and mixes 2 times faster. The double whisk can also mix a large number of ingredients. Dough, cream, smoothies, baby puree - all this can be prepared in a matter of minutes.

After each use, it is not difficult to remove the nozzle: this requires turning the part until it clicks, and then detaching it from the holder. Reinserting the nozzle is also very simple, you must follow the same instructions: attach the part to the motor and rotate until it clicks.

But sooner or later, anyone is faced with the problem of a broken whisk. Someone runs to the store to buy a new one, and someone is trying to figure out the problem on their own. It is necessary to understand whether the whisk can be repaired after a breakdown.

• Breakage of bars. The reason may be the use of low-quality material in production. But most often the rods break due to constant contact with moisture and due to improper operation. This product defect can be quickly corrected. It is enough to break off the bar with pliers to the very base. Of course, such a repair will not solve the whole problem - when one bar is removed, the nozzle quickly loses its performance. But if a trouble happened during the cooking process, and there is no time to go to the store, then this method will allow you to finish what you started.
• Gearbox breakage... Everything is much more complicated here. Remove the attachment from the blender, then carefully pry off the center seam with a screwdriver. Next, you need to disconnect the latches, after which you can see the internal mechanism of the gearbox. All that remains to be done is to return the gears to their places. Most often, the output of parts gives rise to a failure in the operation of the gearbox. After all the manipulations, the parts of the gearbox must be well glued.

Today, the most famous manufacturers of blender whisks are the following companies:

• Bosch;
• Philips;
• Braun;
• Scarlett;
• Redmond;
• Moulinex.

The best choice is firms Philips and Bosch. In terms of popularity among housewives, they can be safely put in the first place in the rating. The blender beaters are made of high quality metal, which contributes to the long service life of the product.

In third place on the list is a manufacturer from France - Moulinex. Customer reviews suggest that product quality and price are not comparable. Moulinex is renowned for producing high quality, powerful equipment with great functionality. Removable nozzles are characterized by low metal density and their cost is significantly overpriced.

For a long service life, you should follow some rules for using nozzles:

• before using a new whisk, you need to hold it in hot water for a while;
• in order for the mixing process to be easy, liquid products should be mixed first, then dry;
• for dough with a thick consistency, a high power of the device and a whisk with strong rods are required - otherwise, kneading a thick dough will lead to breakage;
• during the cooking process, it is worth shaking off the adhering components from time to time;
• hot foods should not be used;
• do not store the product in the sun;
• periodically turn off the blender, letting the mechanism cool down.
