The term blender typically refers to a kitchen appliance that used to mix things together. There are hand-blenders, which are slower speed blender used for making things like mayonnaise or whipped cream, and there are electric blenders, which, with their higher power, can be used to even puree food or chop ice.
Electric blenders consist of a base which contains the motor and a mixing container, usually made of either glass, metal, or plastic. In the bottom of the container are found the mixing blades. When the container is set on the base, gear teeth at the bottom of the container mesh with gear teeth in the base so the motor can rotate the blades. The blades at the bottom of the container are usually removable so they can be cleaned.
Most blenders have a selectable speed, meaning that you can choose the strength and speed with which you want the blades to turn. Some blenders use buttons to select the speed while others used a knob.
Today, one finds blenders in almost all kitchens. Some of the most popular manufacturers of blenders include Kitchen Aid and Oster. The Oster Beehive Blender is one of the most popular models sold today. Amazon and most other kitchen an appliance stores usually have a large selection of blenders available.
