I have a Kenwood triblade with a whisk and chopping bowl among other things.The whis is good for an egg or two, cream and mixtures I don't feel like using the bench mixer for.The chopping bowl does crumbs, herbs, etc.

I use mine for mayonnaise (like the recipe above) and its many variations (aioli, citrus wasabi, prawn cocktail sauce etcetera), soups, smoothing lumpy sauces and custard, mashed swede (I like mine creamy smooth), pesto/tapenade and for making super quick butter cake when I can't be bothered getting the Kenwood stand mixer out. I love my whizzy stick!

Apple sauce. Milk/thick shakes. Soups to puree.

I use mine for soups and very little else - but we make a lot of soup, especially in winter, so that's okay. I would really miss it if we didn't have one, because pouring things out of a saucepan into a blender and back into the saucepan creates a lot of mess and extra things to wash. I love being able to blend things in the same container I used to cook them.

whole egg mayonnaise
1 whole egg juice of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 150 mils of sunflower oil 150 mils of canola oil You will need a stick blender and a tall beaker to make this mayonnaise. Put the egg into the beaker first Put the other ingredients carefully on top of the egg, so as not to disturb the egg. Lower the stick blender in to the bottom without disturbing the ingredients. Pulse the blender, until the ingredients start to emulsify, tilt the blender to allow the oil to be incorporated.

Pickles, quite excited to read your recipe.I do not like vinegar tasting things so avoid mayonaise and dressing (apart from lemon/oil that I have done myself).Does your combination produce a vinegary taste or have you just opened a whole new world for me! It certainly looks like my sort of thing.

The lemon is nice in that recipe. We prefer two different oils, either oil, works just as well.

Soups mainly, best thing is it doesn't take up any bench space.
