How To Beat Eggs Using A Hand Blender
One thing you must keep in mind while whisking eggs with a blender is to use a deep bowl. If you use a shallow bowl, you will end up creating a mess as the ingredients can splash on the counter and walls. The tool is perfect for whisking eggs if you are making scrambled eggs, quiches, and omelettes.
The first step is to crack the eggs in a deep bowl or even a jar and use the blender. If you use the appliance after adding vegetables to the eggs, you will end up making a smooth blend of veggies too. Using a hand blender will also help you incorporate air into the mixture resulting in a fluffier omelette or soft scrambled eggs.
If the dessert recipe requires you to blend only the egg whites to make a foam, the task can get trickier. Clean the bowl and make sure it has no amount of greasing before you drop egg whites into it. In a tall but narrow jar, use your Usha’s blender at the highest speed while moving it up and down to incorporate air. Add a pinch of tartar cream to stabilise the egg whites and stop when you have achieved soft peaks.

How To Whisk Whipped Cream Using A Hand Blender
Whipped cream is usually used in desserts to enhance the texture and add a creamy but lightweight layer. It is also added to beverages to make them more irresistible, sweet, and creamy. In some cases, people also add it to soups and gravies for the rich consistency. If you have no other tool at home, you can use the hand blender to whip the cream but there are a couple of challenges like it might take more time for the soft peaks to appear or you might end up overwipping it.
Make sure that the cream is cold when you are about to whip it, and you must use a tall container for this purpose. Keep the Usha hand blender on medium speed and move it up and down while whipping. You must keep an eye on the consistency to prevent over-whipping. Instead of whipping an entire batch of cream at once, you can divide it into smaller batches and achieve the best results.
