On the market, manufacturers compete in ingenuity and offer devices that are just as interesting as each other. The selection made above is proof of this. We therefore realize that choosing a heated blender is much more complicated than it seems. This is why, before making a final decision, it is always good to inquire in order to have all the useful information likely to help make an informed choice.

Selection criteria

Before choosing a particular model of heated blender, it is important to define a selection grid. Only in this way will you be able to find the device that really meets your expectations. Indeed, there is no point in having a heated blender delivered to you that does not play the role for which you bought it. You would have done better in this case to throw your money directly out the window.

Here are some important criteria to consider when buying a heated blender.

The power

The power of the device is a very important element that should not be taken lightly. It should be remembered, a heated blender is in a way a classic blender that incorporates a heating function. Its power (motor power and heating power) is therefore a significant performance criterion.

In theory, the greater this data, the more efficient the device. However, certain factors, such as the quality and number of blades, as well as the starting speed can greatly impact performance. In any case, with a minimum of 1000 watts, the appliance can efficiently cook and blend vegetables and fruits.

The material of manufacture

The container of a heating blender can be made of glass, plastic or stainless steel. Just know that glass offers the advantage of being transparent. This makes it easy to follow how the cooking and mixing is progressing. However, it is a fragile material that can break if dropped. Its use therefore requires attention and caution.

As for plastic equipment, it is the cheapest on the market. Quite light, they lend themselves much more to non-intensive use. Depending on the quality, some are resistant to shocks, scratches and high temperatures, while others may crack or turn black over time.

Stainless steel tanks are probably the strongest and most resistant. In addition, they tolerate heat better and help keep food warm. There is also no risk of staining or breaking. The only downside is that you can’t see inside without opening the lid. Added to this is the fact that you can burn yourself by touching the container unless it has a double insulating wall.

There are also heated aluminum blenders. They combine lightness and resistance, but there are only rare models.

container capacity

The capacity of heated blenders on the market generally varies between 1 L and 3 L. However, it is necessary to be able to distinguish between the maximum capacity and the actual capacity. With most models, the slope does not have to be completely filled in order for the device to function well. Which ultimately can reduce the amount of preparation planned.

The choice must therefore be made in consideration of this detail and your needs. Are you alone or do you have a big family? Do you usually receive guests? If yes how much ? The answer to these different questions will help you to clearly define the ideal real capacity of your device.

Note that a heating blender with a capacity of 1.2 liters could allow you to make preparations for 4 people. However, you can opt for a larger capacity model if you need to serve up to 6 people or more. The most important thing is to choose a heated blender equipped with a pitcher that will be really useful to you.

Programs and options

Generally, heated blenders incorporate automatic features. All it takes is a simple press to activate them. However, the number of available programs depends on the product range. On basic appliances, these functions are limited to the preparation of soup and a few cold drinks. On the other hand, high-end equipment is, most of the time, more complete and allows you to vary recipes, consistency, temperature and cooking speed.

You will also find models that have “steam cooking”, “keep warm”, “automatic cleaning” and “delayed start” programs. In addition to this, the heating blender can offer a manual mixing function which allows you to customize the recipes to your liking and to crush the ice. As a general rule, the more options available, the more expensive the heated blender, but that does not mean that you will not find well-equipped appliances at attractive prices.
