For a generation that was raised on cooking shows and now consumes reels about delicious, decadent food from forgotten corners of lively cities, is it any surprise that our standards for an average meal at home are high?

Because your average recipe is anything but. It is a labour of love, it is a generational spell passed over eons, tinkered, perfected and then mastered. But in the process of bringing those recipes to life, you cannot forgo the two most important things in the kitchen, counter space and time. 

The stand mixer in all its glory just occupies too much space, and be honest, are you really going to use it that much? And I know what you are thinking right now, “Once I buy it, I will cook more.”

But will you, though? Will you?

But fret not, until you reach that level in the kitchen, the humble hand blender can keep you company. Here are five hand blenders that will be the perfect addition to your cooking.
