How To Use A Hand Blender Without Splashing
A Hand Blender is a convenient kitchen tool for making soups, smoothies, sauces, and purees directly in the bowl or pot. However, one of the most common problems people face is splashing, which can leave your countertop — and clothes — covered in food.
Learning the correct blending technique not only keeps your kitchen clean but also improves texture and prevents air bubbles in your mixture. This guide explains how to use a hand blender without splashing, step by step, and why Kangjia Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. hand blenders are designed to make smooth, splash-free blending effortless.
Why Hand Blenders Splash
Splashing usually happens when the blades are exposed to air or when the blender speed is too high before ingredients are fully immersed. The rapid spinning of the blades pushes liquid outward, causing it to jump out of the container.
Understanding the cause helps you avoid it completely with just a few small adjustments.
Step-by-Step: How To Blend Without Splashing
1. Choose the Right Container
Select a tall, narrow container rather than a wide bowl.
A deeper container prevents liquid from escaping.
Many hand blenders, such as Kangjia’s models, come with tall blending beakers designed specifically to reduce splashes.
Tip: The container should be at least twice as tall as the liquid level.
2. Submerge the Blades Completely
Before turning on the blender, make sure the blade head is fully submerged in the mixture.
If the blades are partly above the surface, the spinning will spray liquid outward.
Always insert the blender into the food before pressing the power button.
Once submerged, you can turn it on safely without worrying about splashes.
3. Start at Low Speed
Begin blending at the lowest speed setting, then gradually increase if necessary.
A slow start lets the mixture stabilize around the blades.
High speeds too early can create turbulence and splatter.
Kangjia hand blenders feature variable speed control, allowing you to start gently and increase power smoothly for precise control.
4. Keep the Blender Vertical
Hold the hand blender straight up and down while blending.
Tilting too much can expose the blades or create uneven pressure in the liquid.
Move the blender slightly around the container to ensure even mixing, but avoid lifting it too high.
If you need to move the blender, turn it off first, reposition it, and then continue blending.
5. Use Gentle Up-and-Down Motions
Once blending has begun, slowly raise and lower the blender just below the surface — never above it.
This helps evenly mix ingredients without drawing air or splashing.
Short, smooth pulses are better than fast or aggressive motions.
For thicker mixtures (like purees or sauces), keep the blender slightly angled, but ensure the blade stays under the surface at all times.
6. Don’t Overfill the Container
Leave enough space at the top of your container for the liquid to move around freely.
Overfilling makes it harder to control splashing and may even cause spills.
A good rule is to fill the container to two-thirds of its capacity for best results.
7. Turn Off Before Removing
When you finish blending, always switch off the motor before lifting the blender out.
If you pull it out while the blades are still spinning, it will instantly spray the mixture.
Wait for the blades to stop completely before removing the shaft from the liquid.
Additional Tips for a Cleaner Blending Experience
| Tip | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Cover the top with a towel | Prevents accidental splatter from hot soups |
| Blend in batches | Easier to control than overfilled containers |
| Avoid thin, watery mixtures at high speed | They splash more easily |
| Use anti-splash blade guards | Found on many Kangjia hand blender models |
| Blend at an angle only when necessary | Reduces turbulence |
Cleaning After Blending
Unplug the hand blender.
Detach the blending arm and rinse immediately under warm water.
If residue remains, fill a cup with warm, soapy water and run the blender in it for 5 seconds (submerged).
Rinse again and dry completely.
Prompt cleaning prevents food from drying around the blade and keeps performance consistent.
