Abstract
The immersion blender enables the quick whipping-up of soups, sauces and other soft foods directly in a pot or serving bowl. The mincer attachment, sometimes interchangeable with a whisk, snaps onto a foot long shaft and is powered up to several hundred watts with a button that responds to the pressure of a thumb. The immersion blender is designed to be used vertically or with a tilt of several degrees when moving the blender around a pot. The safety interlock tilt switch prevents injury when an operator tilts the blender to examine the blade.
