Full-size blenders and stand mixers take serious counter space. For soups, cookie dough and small chopping jobs, compact handheld tools cover most of the work and store in a drawer.
Purees soup directly in the pot, so there is no ladling hot liquid into a blender in batches and no second jar to wash. The shaft detaches for the dishwasher, and the included whisk and frother attachments cover whipped cream and hot cocoa.
Handles cookie dough, mashed potatoes, and whipped cream without hauling out a stand mixer, then tucks into a drawer when the baking is done. The cord locks to either side so it stays out of the bowl, and the dishwasher-safe beaters release with one button.
Chops onions, garlic, herbs, and nuts in a few pulses, which takes the tedious knife work out of soups, stuffing, and sauces. The reversible blade switches between chopping and grinding, and the bowl and lid are dishwasher safe, so it earns its small spot in the cabinet.
An 800-watt immersion blender with 12 speeds blends soups right in the pot, and the kit adds a whisk, a frother, a 20 oz beaker, and a 16 oz chopper. The detachable parts are dishwasher safe, so one compact tool covers several countertop jobs.
