2. Blender - Basics

A blender is a stationary electrical kitchen appliance that blends or puree ingredients with a electric mixer power.

A typical blender is built around a vessel for the ingredients to be blended. At the top of the vessel is a cap to prevent ingredients from escaping when the blender is switched on. At the bottom is a blade assembly, typically removable for cleaning purposes. The bottom seal is most likely watertight. The vessel rests upon a base containing a motor (for turning the blade assembly) with controls on its surface. Most modern blenders offer a number of possible speeds.

3. Blenders Specifications

Blenders normally have between three to 16 speeds. Their Power Rating range from 300 to 500 watts. Manufactures claim that higher wattage translates into better performance but some tests show that lower-wattage models often outperformed beefier ones, turning out icy drinks faster and leaving them smoother in consistency.

Containers are made of glass, plastic, or stainless steel, and have a capacity of about 5 to 8 cups. A glass container is heavier and more stable. In tests, the blenders with glass jugs tended to perform better because they didn't shake. Glass is also easier to keep clean. Plastic may scratch and is likely to absorb the smell of whatever is inside. Stainless-steel looks good, but prevents you from seeing how the blending is going. The jars vary from 1.5 to 2 liters

Touchpad controls are easy to wipe clean. A blade that's permanently attached to the container is harder to clean than a removable blade.

4. Window to the Past and Evolution

Stephen Poplawski in 1922 was the first to put a spinning blade at the bottom of a container. He used his appliance to make soda Fountains drinks. In 1935, Fred Osius improved on Poplawski's idea and invented the famous Waring Blender. In 1910 L.H. Hamilton, Chester Beach and Fred Osius formed the Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Co that became well known for their kitchen appliances. Fred Osius later began working on ways to improve the Poplawski blender.

Fred Osious in 1933 patented the blending machine after making some improvements to Fred Waring blender. The blender was still suffering some technical difficulties and a lot of money was being spend for the research, so Fred Waring redesign the machine one more time without the help of Fred Osious this time. Waring renamed his Miracle Mixer Corporation as the Waring Corporation.

The Waring Blender became more and more popular in American homes and very important as a hospital tool for the implementation of specific diets, as well as a vital scientific research device. For example Dr. Jonas Salk used it while developing the vaccine for polio.

In 1954, the millionth Waring Blender was sold, and it is still as popular today.
