Blend it like a Pro!

Blender is one of those gadget in our kitchen which we took for granted. They say blender is the simpler version of food processor.According to Wikipedia, a blender is a kitchen appliance used to mix, puree and emulsify food and other substances. 

Most of the modern blender comes with variable speed which can be adjusted depending on how fine we want our food or other substances. There is also hand held blender which have the same function albeit its handheld controlled.
