The immersion blender I mocked for years finally won me over
Used to think they were gimmicks for home cooks. Then we got slammed at the restaurant last month, and my sous whipped up a 40 quart batch of soup in 10 minutes flat. Anyone else come around on a tool they swore they'd never use?
What size batch were you running before the sous broke out the immersion blender? I'm curious if the 40 quart thing was a one off because you got slammed or if you guys are actually switching over for regular prep now. Seems like the real test is whether it holds up on a normal Tuesday when nobody's in the weeds. Because a stick blender ripping through 40 quarts in 10 minutes is great until the motor burns out and you're back to the big countertop unit. Did your sous do anything different with the technique, like keeping the head fully under and moving slow, or just go at it?
