10 Must-Have Immersion Blenders For Soups, Sauces, and More

Vitamix Immersion Blender ($125)

Emulsifying in the kitchen is the literal blending of two things that simply don't want to mix — think of your favorite oil-and-vinegar dressings that simply just don't want to exist in harmony. Therefore, it often becomes necessary to emulsify these ingredients — and we've chosen the Vitamix Immersion Blender for this daunting task. This power blender creates precise, silky textures for even the toughest of mayonnaise and sauces. Our favorite review so far? The ultimate reluctance that comes with loving something so very much: "Dang. I never thought I would become one of those 'Vitamix people' (you know what I mean!) but I guess I have seen the light."
