Immersion blenders are all the rage for blending soups, purees, and salsas in commercial kitchens. With the immersion blender, or the stick blender, you can submerge the stick into whatever container the food has been prepared in without having to transport the food back and forth from the container to the blender. This is especially useful for blending soups while they are still on the stove.
