Cuisinart CSB-55N SmartStick Extendable Shaft Hand Blender & Chopper Grinder

Reach for this Cuisinart CSB55 versatile tool when a stand blender or full-size food processor is too big or inconvenient for the task at hand. Three distinctions separate this from ordinary hand blenders. First, the blending shaft extends 2 inches--to a total of 8 inches--when needed to reach the bottom of tall containers. Second, a chopper/grinder attachment, with a 5-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep bowl, functions like a mini food processor, chopping, grinding, and mincing cheese, chocolate, nuts, herbs, vegetables, fruits, and cooked meats and poultry. Third, both the blender and the chopper/grinder have four speeds, adjustable with a thumb flick during operation. Other virtues include a rubber finger grip so your hand doesn't slip when wet; an on/off button on top of the power handle for thumb operation; a dishwasher-safe blending shaft and chopper/grinder bowl; a separate attachment for quickly whipping cream or desserts; a counter stand or wall mount for storage; and a 2-cup, dishwasher- and microwave-safe beaker. Clear instructions and recipes included.
