Blending arm. A blending nozzle is a long rod-like attachment with a protective cap at one end, containing a bladed knife. It can be attached to a conventional mixer, essentially turning it into a blender.
—
Wide blending arm. A blending nozzle, or blending arm, is a long rod-shaped attachment with a protective cap at one end, housing a bladed knife. The wider width of the blending arm allows for faster blending and easier processing of larger quantities of food products.
—
Beaters for whisking. Whisking nozzles for liquids such as cream, eggs, and batter, are commonly found in modern mixers as a standard attachment.
—
Kneading hook. Special nozzles in the form of thick wire spirals, designed for kneading thick dough.
—
Knife for chopper. A cutting-type attachment with blade knives attached to the bottom of a cylindrical shaft and turned at a 180-degree angle to each other. It is used for grinding ingredients of different hardness in the blender jar. The cutting elements of such knives can have both straight and serrated blades.
—
An ice pick. An ice pick is a specialized tool for crushing ice, nuts, and frozen fruits/berries. Its serrated blades make it easier to break the solid structure of ice without dulling the blades. I
...t is commonly used with powerful blenders that come with a glass or metal chopper bowl. Although not all blenders include an ice pick, it can be purchased separately along with a heavy-duty chopper bowl main function crushing ice and other hard ingredients.
— Knife for kneading dough. The kneading knife is ideal for making yeast dough with a less dense structure in small quantities. It can also be used for mixing and whipping creams. Typically, this type of knife is made from durable plastic that pulls the mass rather than cutting it like steel. For larger volumes of dough, it is recommended to use a specialized hook attachment instead.
— Disc for shredding/slicing. A slicing disk is a circular attachment with slots that function as blades when rotated. This feature enables it to rapidly and uniformly slice fruits and vegetables into thin pieces, making it particularly useful for processing large quantities of food.
— For dicing. This attachment is designed to cut fruits and vegetables into small, uniform cubes. It is particularly useful for preparing salads and traditional soups.
— For puree. This is a plastic attachment typically used for creating smooth purees and thick blends from fruits and vegetables.
The presence of a sieve in the delivery set of the device.
— Pulp sieve. Typically found in conventional blenders, this device is a vertical tube with fine mesh walls that fits into the bowl and sits atop the blade. Its primary function is to separate pulp from fruit and vegetable juices: produce is placed inside the tube, the blade crushes it, and the juice is filtered through the mesh into the bowl while the pulp remains inside the tube.
— Cappuccinatore (frother). This device is specifically designed for creating milk foam and is used only with specific appliances (refer to "Device type - Foamer"). It typically consists of a bowl with a foaming mechanism at the bottom, rather than a nozzle, and is often not detachable.
Other types of nozzles, in addition to those described above, can be supplied in the kit.Regular way to power the device.
— Mains. The device is designed to be plugged into a standard 230 V outlet, which is commonly available in most modern kitchens. It can accommodate models with various power requirements, and the duration of use is only restricted by the device's heat tolerance. Although the power cord may restrict mobility and potentially cause inconvenience in certain situations, these factors are generally not considered significant issues. It is worth noting that the majority of contemporary mixers, blenders, and other similar devices operate on mains power.
—
Battery. This type of equipment operates using a built-in rechargeable battery and provides the advantage of mobility without requiring an electrical outlet. However, it tends to be more expensive, heavier, and less powerful than its corded counterparts. Its operation time is limited by the battery charge, and it needs to be recharged after a certain period of use. Therefore, rechargeable models are produced in smaller quantities and are only recommended if mobility is an essential factor.
— Batteries. This type of device is powered by replaceable standard-sized batteries such as AA. It offers even more independence from power outlets as dead batteries can be quickly replaced with fresh ones. However, the need to purchase separate batteries can be expensive and not suitable for more powerful motors. This option is rare and mainly fou
...nd in low-power devices such as frothers (see "Type").
