Commercial Stick Blender – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a commercial stick blender used for?
A commercial stick blender (also called an immersion blender or hand blender) is used to blend, puree or emulsify foods directly in the pot or container. It is ideal for soups, sauces, purees, dressings and other liquid or semi-liquid preparations in a commercial kitchen.
What’s the difference between a domestic and commercial stick blender?
Domestic stick blenders are designed for light, occasional use, while commercial stick blenders are built for longer run times, higher volumes and thicker mixes. Commercial models typically offer more power, stronger motors, replaceable shafts and components that withstand frequent use in professional kitchens.
How do I choose the right shaft length?
Choose shaft length based on the depth of the pots or containers you use. Shorter shafts suit small pans and jugs, while longer shafts (for example 350mm and above) are better for blending directly in deeper stock pots and kettles. The food should be fully covered by the head of the blender without needing to tip the pot.
Are heavy duty stick blenders suitable for thick soups and sauces?
Yes. A heavy duty stick blender is designed to handle thicker mixtures such as hearty soups, vegetable purees and some batters. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for recommended batch size and product density.
Can I use the same stick blender for hot and cold products?
Most commercial stick blenders are suitable for both hot and cold preparations, which makes them ideal for soups, sauces and chilled desserts. Ensure the product temperature is within the specified operating range and always follow safety instructions when blending hot liquids.
Do you offer replacement shafts and attachments?
Yes. The range includes replacement BigRig stick blender shafts and whisk attachments, along with accessories for other brands. This allows you to maintain existing units and adapt your commercial hand blender for whipping, mixing and blending different products.
