stick blender v. food processor
I've been making pureed soups lately, and I've noticed that my food processor (much like when making smoothies) can only do so much. I know blenders do a proper puree (or maybe I'm just not running my food processor long enough?), and I've heard good things about stick blenders, but I'm just not completely sold on its plusses warranting the addition of a new gadget to my kitchen. (I am in fact anti-gadget, but I am sick of not quite pureed soups).
So do stick blenders really trump the food processor for a smooth, creamy puree? Also, could I use a stick blender for beating egg whites? I don't have enough need for a hand mixer, but I'm wondering if a stick blender would be able to serve that function for me - especially since I've seen some that have whisk attachments.
Thoughts?
