They go by many names. Stick blender, immersion blender, motor boat and perhaps there are others. No matter what you call them, they all possess the power to create one hell of a mess. When making hot sauce, barbecue sauce or some other thing on a sauce pan on the stove top the requires the stick blender, you can cut way down on the splatter factor with aluminum foil..
- Cut a piece of foil big enough to cover the pot.
- Cut a slice in the foil from one of the sides to the middle.
- Put the dormant stick blender into the middle of your sauce pan.
- Slide the foil around the blender.
- Fire up the stick blender and blend away.
This cuts WAAAAAY down on the splatter factor.
