A new blending superstar is born

For home cooks, the blender can be their most dependable machine. In a minute or less, a blender can make soulful soups from vegetables and silky smoothies from chunks of ice.

A discerning home cook, however, doesn’t easily assume that all blenders are built the same. There are aspects of this tool that need to be dissected before deciding on which one’s the best.

Not every blender seamlessly adjusts to the ingredients being processed. Basic ones can’t work on coarse ingredients like nuts and seeds. Versatility allows users to make the most of the tool, i.e., craft dips, sauces, spreads, soups, and more.

An integral thing to be considered is its intuitive design. Some blenders are limited to speed settings labeled slowest to fastest, requiring one to meticulously watch over and adjust to ensure ingredients are processed as expected. Such is okay for recipes that need more control, but a lot of blending tasks would benefit from lesser guesswork, making a blender with one-touch programs a smart choice.

It’s highly recommended to check the blender’s construction and design to assess its durability. It can be made from plastic, glass, or metal but those constructed from heavy-duty die cast metal and impact-resistant technology like Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene are often sturdier, making them last longer.

It’s also vital to look into the speed and power of a blender. One will usually find 500- to 750-watt blenders for basic household use, but these don’t really offer the versatility, intuitiveness, and speed that every meticulous home cook mastering their culinary adventures looks for. With higher wattage, a blender is more productive, processing a variety of ingredients.

New blending superstar

Breville is known for delivering blenders with superstar qualities — powerful commercial-quality features and performance with a home-use footprint. Its latest addition, the Q, offers even more effortless food preparation to help every home cook come up with impressive and satisfyingly delicious treats. It’s versatile, processing various types of ingredients — from fruits to vegetables, nuts and seeds, ice, and even grains.

It has the signature intuitive lighted buttons and one-touch buttons that convert ice into snow and produce velvety green smoothies, and silkier milk-based treats. Of course, consistent with the brand’s promise of convenience, it has an auto clean function and five-speed settings for flexibility and control.

What makes the Breville’s Q superior is its speed. It can turn leafy vegetables into green smoothies in a minute or two; cold veggies to hot soup in as fast as five minutes; and grains like rice and corn into fine powder in under a minute. It also comes with a tamper tool that helps blend thick or frozen mixtures with ease.

These superlative functions are essential for home cooks who love experimenting and trying out new dishes. When you have Q at home, it’s easy to craft Pinoy delicacies like puto by simply grinding rice at home. Taco nights are more special with homemade masa from freshly milled corn. All these complex processes are done super quick because of the Q’s super performance — a 1220-watt motor with a blade tip that moves 300km/h!

So, if you’re someone who is on the lookout for tools for kitchen mastery, you will find joy in this new Breville superstar blender.

“It’s perfect for foodies like me. Imagine whipping up super smooth green smoothies, quick cold to hot soups, and finely milled ingredients all in a matter of a minute or less,” shares Kyle Vergara, a social media personality and home cook.
