About Immersion Blender Leaving Chunks

Immersion blenders work best with enough liquid for food to circulate into the blade. Wide pots let food escape the blade, and holding the blender in one place leaves pieces untouched.

Very fibrous foods may need a more powerful blender or a countertop blender.

Why it happens and how to fix it

Use a tall container

A narrow beaker keeps food near the blade.

Add liquid

Thin thick mixtures slightly.

Move the blender

Tilt and move slowly up and down.

Cut large pieces

Chop dense foods smaller first.

Power

Stronger motors handle fibrous foods better.
