Easy Clean-Up
Cleaning your Stick Blender is easy! To simplify cleaning, rinse the prep bowl, cover and blade immediately after use, so that food won’t dry onto them. The blending shaft, whisk head, chopper/grinder bowl and mixing cup are dishwasher safe. Everything else wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Whisk Tips
Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites. It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by hand, like crepe batters or eggs for omelets. For best results when beating heavy cream, use a chilled bowl and chill the whisk attachment.
Reversible Blade
The Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender chopper/grinder attachment is equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side and blunt on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which slides over the blade assembly shaft, so it can be easily turned over to select the appropriate blade.
Blending & Mixing
The specially designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is ideal for combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify mayonnaise, too. This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full-bodied liquid recipes. Be careful never to remove the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender from the liquid while in operation.

Over-engineering has ruined this product I recently got a replacement for an earlier version because plastic ‘gears’ stripped and I could no longer use it. I loved that small appliance and in fact, found the complete set so useful that I dumped my mini food processor.The ‘new’ version (which interestingly, has same model number as the one I originally purchased – CSB-79) has a safety button on top of the stick. Why a safety is necessary on a stick blender is unclear to me but in any case, this means that it is nearly impossible…
Bad Redesign and Poorer Quality I had the old incarnation of this Cuisinart hand blender for years. Finally I wore out the chopper and the mixing cup and decided that I should have one on standby because I use it at least a few times a week. So I opened it up the other day and tried to chop frozen bacon with it, which is something I did countless times with the old model. It broke the chopper bowl. First time out. Boo. Ended up with pieces of plastic in my bacon and a broken brand new unit.But THE WORST…
Wow! Absolutely love this! Spent months researching immersion blenders, going back and forth between the top 5 rated models. Then discovered this 1.5 hp version. I couldn’t find any reviews on this model anywhere, so was nervous to take the plunge. I wanted more than just another gadget to use for only for smoothies or sauces. My oh my! Had the chance to use all the attachments during Thanksgiving. Each one delivered as promised and made meal prep so much fun. Mashed potatoes? 90 seconds =…
