This powerful hand blender does so many different things well that we coined it a “Swiss army knife for the kitchen.” (Appropriate, considering that Bamix is a Swiss company.) The Bamix Superbox’s wand has four blade attachments: 1) a multi-purpose blade for chopping and puréeing, 2) a beater blade for aerating and whipping egg whites and cream, 3) a whisk blade for stirring and emulsifying thicker foods like mashed potatoes, sauces and mayonnaise and 4) a mincer blade for chopping and mincing cuts of meat and fish, plus fibrous vegetables. Pair any of these blades with the dishwasher-safe 4-cup jug and you can chop, purée, aerate, blend and emulsify—and then precisely pour–just about anything. Add on two different food processor attachments—a small one that grinds nuts and whole spices and a larger one that makes short work of pesto, sofrito and smoothies—and you have an entire kitchen’s worth of appliance functions in one compact package. The large processor even comes with two slicing blades and three grating blades, so you can fine-tune the thickness of sliced veggies and the consistency of grated cheese.
When you have a job that’s too small to drag out your full-size food processor or stand mixer, the Bamix Superbox can step in. (And if you don’t already own those bigger appliances, you may find you don’t need them at all.) It also comes with a convenient stand to hold it out of the way when not in use—no more tangled-up cords cluttering your drawers.
