If you know how to cook at least something more complicated than an ordinary scrambled eggs , you definitely need a blender in the kitchen. And if cooking for you is one of the ways of self-expression, then it makes sense to think about purchasing a professional blender. Why? The answer to this question you can learn from our article.
Professional blender for kitchen
First, let's define what a professional blender differs from its domestic counterpart. Both of these devices are designed to perform the same functions - grinding and mixing products of different densities. But the price of pros-blenders is much higher. And this is not accidental, because professional blenders have all the characteristics much higher than conventional ones: engine power, strength of all nodes, number of possible modes, etc. All this allows them not only to grind soft boiled vegetables or mix ingredients for dough, but to cope with ice flakes, hard fruits, nuts and other complex products. The body of professional blenders is usually clad in "armor" made of stainless steel, which makes them almost unbreakable. In addition, the design of the case provides noise-reducing elements. And all this would make such devices very attractive, if not for their tangibly cost-cutting budget.
How to choose a professional blender?
The entire market of professional blenders can be divided into three groups:
- Premium class . This category includes the products of three American manufacturers: "Vitamix", "Blendtec" and "Waring". Their distinguishing features include power, reliability and high functionality. Professional blenders of premium class are the ideal option for raw food and lovers of smoothies, because with their help you will be able to prepare delicious and useful delicacies in a matter of seconds. But to pay for these dignities will also have a lot - the cost of such blenders starts at a mark of 500 cu. It is much cheaper to manage a blender-analogue produced by the Taiwanese firm "Omniblend". Possessing almost the same characteristics, it costs about three times cheaper.
- The middle class . Among the producers of this category, you can find both Europeans (Vema, Stadler, Macap, Bohum), and Americans (KitchenAid, Hamilton beach). The cost of professional blenders of the middle class is approximately twice lower than that of premium representatives, but one does not need to be seduced by such "cheapness" - and the characteristics here leave much to be desired, in particular, the relatively low power. You can even say that these are not professional appliances, but still household appliances. Therefore, wishing to purchase a stationary professional blender of good quality makes sense to decide
on more impressive spending and buy a premium device. - Economy class . To the category of professional blenders with the prefix "economy" you can include products of inexpensive Chinese copies of famous American brands. Oddly enough, among them there are sometimes almost complete analogues, perfectly matching both in appearance and in basic performance characteristics. Moreover, many of them are also able to work fine for quite a long time. But there is no need to expect special miracles from them, because the difference in cost is 5-10 times compared to the original due to cheaper materials and the violation of production technology. So, most models of this segment are equipped with knives with a blunt edge, which nicely pierce the ice, but do poorly with other products.
