(CLOSED) WIN a KitchenAid Artisan Deluxe Hand Blender valued at $249

A hand blender is one of the most used appliances in our home. So, when I received an email from Kitchenware Direct to review the KitchenAid Artisan Deluxe Hand Blender I jumped at the opportunity, because of the well-known quality of the KitchenAid brand and because my old stick blender was at the end of its useful life. Now, thanks to KitchenAid Australia you have a chance to win your very own valued at $249! 

KitchenAid Giveaway WIN an Artisan Deluxe Hand Blender

When you own the KitchenAid Artisan Deluxe Hand Blender, you’ll be looking for any excuse to blend! The benefit of the Deluxe range is the fact that you don’t just get a single appliance – you get a whole range of attachments which make the blender that much more useful in the kitchen. It combines the ability to blend, whisk, chop, whip, mince, shred and puree. It is just so versatile for making anything from small batch smoothies, soups, salsas, whipped cream and even crushed ice for your favourite cocktail or slushie, without the need for dragging your big benchtop mixer out, or crying when chopping up onion. 

The best thing about the KitchenAid brand of products is their attention to detail. The hand blender comes with a range of three stainless steel bell-blade attachments which are safer to use in hot liquids than other brands’ plastic ones. As an added benefit, the patented pan guard system which easily clips onto each attachment, prevents scratching of cookware when pureeing soups and protects blades when not in use. Perfect if you have non-stick pans! While made out of plastic, it’s BPA-free which means it can be used safely at high temperatures. The blender also provides precision by incorporating a 5 speed dial on the handle – great for when you need more precise results.

I honestly cannot live without mine (here’s proof) and having used other brands before I am completely satisfied with the quality of this particular product.

The bell-blade attachments are great for:

The BPA-free 1 litre beaker is great for making whole fruit and veg smoothies, and storing them in the fridge for easy access anytime.

The 2-cup capacity BPA-free chopper is fantastic for:

  • mincing fish for Healthy Fish Fingers and Fish Burgers
  • crushing ice for slushies and your favourite cocktails
  • making your own natural Nut Butter
  • making salsas, bruschetta-style toppings and, of course, chopping up onion
  • chopping nuts

The whisk attachment is great for:

  • whipping up small batches of whipped cream
  • fluffing up eggs for an omelette
  • blending pancake batter
  • and because it detaches and because it is metal, you can use it to whisk hot sauces, custard, etc directly in the pan!

WIN your very own KitchenAid Artisan Deluxe Hand Blender

Thanks to KitchenAid Australia you have a chance to win one of the KitchenAid Artisan Deluxe Hand Blenders valued at A$249, in your choice of colours: Almond Cream, Empire Red, Onyx Black or Stainless Steel, guaranteed to compliment any kitchen!

To enter, you MUST:  1) register your entry via the Rafflecopter form or link below; 2) leave a comment on this post telling me what you will make first using your new blender. Bonus entries can also be earned once you’ve registered.

I’m allergic to so many things (including eggs and gluten), which makes dessert making quite difficult.

I do LOVE date and nut chocolate truffles though. Unfortunately, my last stick blender exploded when I was whipping them up. Dates were just too tuff for it. Would love a stick blender that could cope with my heavy use!

I’d start with coriander pesto, followed by houmus (in the same bowl to pick up the delicious pesto leftover flavour) and then Potato and Leek soup served with a dollop of the pesto. The kids would no doubt want to get in on the act to make themselves a smoothie and “experiment” with dessert.

Where do I start? It would never make it to the cupboard! It would be at work early making different smoothies for the family, then chopping up nuts and seeds for my gluten, fructose, lactose free muesli for breakfast. Then a quick swirl around to make fresh almond milk to add to the muesli. Chop the veggies for soup for lunch, purée when cooked. Then mix up the ingredients for homemade coconut based ice cream, whip the meringues up in a jiffy. Mince the fish for fishcakes and so the list goes on. Busy, busy busy! I don’t think I would have time to go to work! What fun!

Reply
cassmob June 7, 2013 at 5:15 pm

KitchenAid have done it again, what a brilliant multi-purpose instrument. That 1l beaker would be great to make my girls after school banana and milo smoothy. I always struggle to find a decent container at home that I can blend with our boring hand blender that wont splash the mike/banana/milo mixture all over me. I could also use it to blend up vegies into a puree that we can use to hide in our kids spaghetti or stews or lasagne or whatever we are making. My husband would love it when blending his spicy pumpkin soup and when he makes eggs and pancakes on the weekend for our hot breakfast treats. In fact we could use it for way more things I could even write about here, it would be something used daily.

Ah, so needed as my stick blender has died and the bench top mixer weighs a tonne and has dead blades. Sooooo, pesto with basil, pine nuts and spinach to freeze in batches, The Wholesome Cook’s salmon burger patties (a family favourite) and probably bread crumbs, one-ingredient ice-cream, milkshakes. Oh maybe a chai mix for mulled wine or cider!
Fingers crossed.
