Tool Tip: Immersion Blender
![A favorite kitchen tool, an immersion blender, shown here with the food processor cup attached](http://photos1.blogger.com/img/131/4718/320/DSCN049105161.jpg)
What's shown is the 'motor' (the top piece) attached to a mini food processor (the bottom piece). It includes a cup with a food-processor-type blade that's just perfect for small jobs. The cup includes both a rubber piece that works both to stabilize the cup for standing/processing and as an air-tight cover.
There's also the immersion blender itself, which makes quick work of most soups without the hassle of getting out/cleaning/putting away the blender or big Cuisinart food processor. One word of caution: the immersion blade must be fully immersed in the soup - otherwise, soup will splatter all over.
There's also a whisk attachment for whipping egg whites and cream. It works great but does take a little longer than an electric hand mixer.
