Heavy, powerful and expensive but nevertheless a good bit of kitchenware...
By Crookedmouth
Well, it certainly looks good, and it would be hard to mistake it for Morphy Richards' Value Range (if such a thing exists) and it looks like it would sit well in a professional cook's kitchen.The blender also feels good - robust and hefty (perhaps too hefty for the older user who may have some difficulty holding and controlling the thing) and it has a nice long (5 foot) cable.The blender head can be removed from the handset (the bit with the on-off button and the power cable) and replaced with a baloon whisk for eggs and light batters. The handset can also be attached to a "chopping jug" (supplied) not unlike a small food processor. Finally there is a nice little measuring beaker. Changing the heads over is easy and accomplished by means of an easy to operate "quick release button" on the handset.There is an on-off switch and a turbo switch on the hand-set, both positioned to allow single-handed operation and on top of the hand-set is an eight speed control dial. Now I think that 8 speeds is a bit much for a hand blender - three (slow, medium & fast)plus a turbo would probably be more than adequate and I rather doubt that I would use even that many.My first try out was on a pancake batter which I would normally do with a hand baloon whisk. Even on the lowest speed setting, the blender threw the flour about a lot and made a bit of a mess - I would have preferred a much lower low speed setting for starting off mixes. That said, once the flour egg and milk were incorporated, the blender made very short work of the batter and the pancakes were lovely (lemon and sugar - keep it simple!). The blender/whisk did a much cleaner job of some egg whites (which again I would labour mightily over with a hand whisk) and brought them to peaking very quickly indeed. Do note that this baloon whisk is fairly flimsy and is not suitable for heavier cake mixes.The blender itself got used on a vegetable soup. Once the veg (chunky but in various sizes of dice) were cooked, I used the blender to turn out a nice smooth soup. Having done this previously in my food processor (which is rather messy work transferring the soup from the pot to the processor and then into a bowl for cooling), it's great to be able to do the full job so quickly. I have done it before with a cheaper borrowed blender and the Morphy Richards made a quicker job of it - once again, the higher speed settings barely seemed necessary and most of the blending was done on the lower speeds (although the turbo boost was very handy for getting a final good blitz going). In fact, I was rather surprised at the power of this thing - the downforce generated by the whirring blades was very powerful (once again, maybe too powerful for some?) and I was worried that the machine was going to blend the cooking pot as well as the soup! I did also manage to fling some of the soup out of the pan at the high speed setting, but I suspect that this was because I was using a big saucepan with not a lot of soup which meant that the blender head came out of the liuid - with predictably messy results!I have now just used the chopping jug to make some sage and onion stuffing and I suspect that it will take some practise. On the first go, the chopping blade didn't so much chop the ingredients (including bread) as puree them - very finely! A second attempt, using the turbo/pulse button was much more successful and left the onion looking chopped reather than nuked. Next task - I threw a chunk of parmesan into the chopping bowl and whizzed that. You probably know that cheese doesn't come much harder than parmesan but the chopper dealt with it reasonably well. It sounded like a Morris Minor with a gearbox full of pebbles but the end result was that the cheese was reduced to breadcrumb consistency - just right for sprinkling on bolognese. So, this hand blender works well as a mini food processor (but with care!).I would say that this is certainly a very good hand blender. It is perhaps overpowered and would benefit from a "very slow" speed setting. Whether its good points justify the price is a matter of personal taste, I think. I rather suspect that most people could get away with a cheaper and less well equipped model. I would also suggest that you consider the weight and power of the thing before buying it - it really will be too much of a handful for weaker users.
