Hand blenders are smaller and more convenient to use than traditional blenders. They are easier to store and clean. Hand blenders work well for small projects such as beating a few eggs for making an omelet. The hand blender can also whip up some egg whites if you plan to make meringue.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Hand blender
Eggs
Bowl

Step 1

Crack your eggs in a bowl and remove any shells.
Step 2

Attach the upper portion of your hand blender to the bottom portion. It should snap in place without too much effort.
Step 3

Add batteries to your hand blender if required. Otherwise, you will need to locate the nearest outlet and plug your hand blender in.
Step 4

Set the hand blender in the bowl with the eggs at an angle. About a 20 to 30 degree angle will do.
Step 5

Press the on button and allow your blender to beat your eggs for you. This should only take about 60 seconds.
Step 6

Turn the hand blender off, and remove the bottom attachment. Clean it with dish soap and water before returning it to its packaging.

Tips & Warnings

Hand blenders are also good for pureeing food, chopping onions and mixing drinks.
Never clean your hand blender while it is still plugged into an outlet. This could lead to electrocution.
