Lakeland Power Blender

I have had problems with blenders in the recent past having left a spoon in one (then turning it on!) and buying a cheap replacement which just died on me. So having been impressed with other Lakeland products like the Dry Soon Heated Tower Dryer and the Electric Cupcake Maker both of which are regularly used, I was keen to try the Lakeland Power Blender.

This blender is heavy but it means it is really stable when in use. It has six settings from purée to grate including an ice-crushing setting which is great for the coming party season! The glass jug seems far more serviceable than the plastic one's I've had previously and it holds up to 1.5 litres. There's also a 60ml feeder cup so you can add ingredients as you blend for example in making mayonnaise.

A slight drawback is that soups and sauces have to be cooled to room temperature before blending – I partially solved this by using less liquid in making soup and then adding ice cubes to cool it down. Of course this wasn't a problem when making smoothies.

A blender is an essential kitchen item and the Lakeland Power Blender performs well.
