professional hand blender by Bamix

The Bamix food mixer is a must have for any kitchen. Bamix has been going since 1954 and has produced this amazing machine for a good many years. Not many things come out of Switzerland, but what does is very good quality. The Bamix is no exception.

When you purchase your Bamix you will get not only the whisk but a number of accessories, including a stand, a jug with lid, 3 blades, a blending machine a recipe book and a video

the first thing you'll notice is how it doesn't take up much space in your kitchen, all fitting neatly into the storage unit The stand can also be attached to the wall if you so wish.

The Bamix is fast, so fast it has the title of being the fastest mixer in the world. It goes some 20 times faster than other models you can buy. Because of this you will find the three blades you get with the Bamix are blunt, making them safe enough to lose in the bottom of the washing up bowl without worrying about sliced fingers! You will also notice how sturdy the jug is. Drop it on the floor and it won't break easily, being as it's specially made to withstand the rigours of a working kitchen.
There are three blades in the set. Two are round and one has spikes around it. The blades are marked A, B and C, these letters are used in the video and book making it simple to use.

Most of the things you will create will be done in the jug. One thing people are amazed at is the fact you can process items in the jug, but unlike other mixer the contents don't go everywhere when the lid isn't on. This is because, the Bamix rotates so fast is creates a vortex that literally sucks the food into the center of the bowl rather than throwing it all over the walls like a regular mixer!

Using the blender unit you can create some great, easy side dishes. Use it to create a salsa, fresh mayonaise, soup, or prepare bread crumbs for stuffing or coating. One thing you can do with the C blade is crush ice. A very useful tool this can be. If you put some frozen fruit in the jug, with some milk, in a few seconds using the C blade you can get a nice cold smoothie
The easiest and best thing you can do with the Bamix is make a floater coffee which is over 90% fat free. All you need to do is make a coffee in the standard way. Then place some skimmed milk in the jug. It does have to be skimmed milk. Then using the A blade, starting at the bottom slowly rise hitting the 1st /slowest speed button. This will turn your milk into a yoghurt consistency. Then do the same again using the 2nd /fastest speed. This again builds air into the milk. You should then have the consistency of whisked cream. Then just plop some on top of the coffee.
It is such an easy machine to use. Once you have finished what cooking, then all you need to do is place the stainless steel stem and blade under the tap and it will take no time at all to clean. With the help of the video, and the many ideas in the recipe book, you will find this a tool that you cannot be without.

What about the price. When I first saw the price I was put off, thinking it was a bit costly, but now I have one I think it is totally worth the money. This machine is built to last and you shouldn't need to think about ever getting another machine in the future.

This amazing hand held food processor is so versatile it is a must for every busy cook. It makes fresh mayonnaise in seconds and can even turn skimmed milk into a thick cream consistency. Soups can be processed in the pan on the hob. It blends and beats, mixes cakes and pastries, grinds, whips, purees, crushes ice and makes fabulous ice cream and smoothies. Bamix can switch from one job to another with minimum of washing up. Used by many top chefs and 10 million households worldwide. Bamix is an ideal tool for everyday tasks and essential for entertaining.
