IMMERSION BLENDER

Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender

An immersion blender is a game-changer in the kitchen and definitely worth the investment. Anytime I need to buzz up a soup or sauce, I drop it in and blend away to a smooth paradise of richness, right in the pot. It doesn’t take up any counter space, and it now comes in cordless versions, which means no more “cord in sauce” accidents. $80, williams-sonoma.com
