My Bosch MultiTalent 3 has given up the ghost after 4.5yrs, much to my annoyance.
I'm wondering whether I can replace it with a good stick/immersion blender with a bowl attachement, instead of a countertop processor, as space is very much at a premium in our kitchen. Realistically, I mainly use it for making breadcrumbs and chopping veg for mirepoix (can do in my small manual processor), and making pesto, hummus/other dips, and smoothies. I'm thinking I could do the pesto and hummus etc with a stick blender with a bowl attachment (or just in a jug), but would I be screwed on smoothies?!
I also need a new electric whisk for whipping cream, egg whites for tiramisu etc, as well as for occasionally creaming cakes. I've seen stick blenders with a whisk attachment - are these sturdy enough for that kind of thing? Am I asking too much of one device?!
If anyone has a specific model that does all the above, please shout 😃
