    Equipment Spotlight

    I don’t know why I’ve held off talking about my newest piece of equipment: an immersion blender! Before I gush too much about how amazing this addition has been to my kitchen, let me say that it is all of the following: inexpensive (around $30), small (easy to store), and infinitely useful. Now I puree sauces, soups, even vegetables with ease. It’s especially great to use in when pureeing hot foods – I used to get burns from splashing boiling soup – no more!
