KitchenAid KHBV53DG Variable Speed Hand Blender with 8-inch Arm and 3-Cup Jar

For a smoothie at breakfast or soup for dinner, the KitchenAid KHBV53DG lets you blend with a hand-held tool and choose the pace with its variable-speed trigger. Its removable 8-inch blending arm has a four-point stainless steel blade for smoothies, milkshakes, soups, hummus and more. Use the included BPA-free blending jar for individual blending jobs, or the pan guard to help protect cookware while blending.

Highlights

The variable-speed trigger puts control in your hand, so you can adjust the blending pace to suit the ingredients and recipe. The stainless steel blade is designed to blend a range of foods, from drinks and shakes to soups and hummus, making this a versatile tool for everyday kitchen prep.

The removable blending arm is 8 inches long, and the corded design keeps the blender ready to use at a suitable outlet. For smaller batches, the included 3-cup BPA-free jar has a lid, so it can also be used to serve or store a blend for later. When working in cookware, the included pan guard helps protect the surface as you blend. Compared with transferring ingredients to a countertop blender, a hand blender offers a practical way to work in a jar or cooking vessel, with less handling between preparation and blending.

How to look after it

The blending arm is dishwasher-safe, which makes cleanup after blending more straightforward. The arm is removable, so it can be separated from the hand blender for cleaning. The jar’s lid also makes it useful for keeping a prepared serving for later, while the pan guard is a handy accessory to use when blending in cookware.

How to use it

Fit the blending arm to the hand blender, place the blade into the ingredients, then use the variable-speed trigger to control blending. For a quick milkshake or smoothie, the included jar is sized for individual blending jobs. For soup or hummus, blend the ingredients in a suitable cooking vessel or container, using the pan guard when working in cookware to help protect its surface. Adjust the trigger as you work to suit the recipe and the texture you want.

This corded hand blender is a useful choice when you want one tool for both drinks and savoury recipes, rather than relying only on a countertop blender. It can move from a small jar of smoothie ingredients to a pot of soup, while its removable arm and included accessories support different kitchen tasks.
