For cooking, is it better to get an expensive multifunction robot, a mid-range blender, or a small entry-level blender? A chef will guide you, based on your budget and your needs. Here are his three favorite mixers.
“There are four important criteria to look at”
The head chef Leslie in the Kitchenwho you have seen in culinary shows like “Duels en cuisine” or “ Objectif Top Chef”, has also published his 100 best recipes in a book entitled What are we eating tonight? (Editions Racine, 2023, 27.50 euros). We asked him for his advice on choosing a good quality blender.
« There are four important criteria to look at. First of all the engine, you have to see how fast it runs. The blades of the device must be able to rotate quickly without the motor heating up. » explains the chef. “ It is also essential to check that the blades are solid. It is also preferable that the container be made of glass, which resists heat better than plastic, or aluminum. And finally, you also have to look at the warranty. There is always at least a mandatory European warranty of 2 years, but some brands sometimes increase it to 3 or 5 years, which can be interesting. »

By now knowing these essential criteria, you will be able to make your choice. But it also depends on the budget you want to allocate to this purchase, and the use you want to make of this device.
Leslie en Cuisine has selected her three favorite mixers for you, in very varied price categories. “ My favorite remains the Thermomix, it’s the best of the best for me, but it represents a significant budget. » The TM6 model of the Thermomix is in fact sold at a price of 1,499 euros. This multifunctional robot offers many other features, in addition to the mixing bowl, and is guaranteed for 2 years.
If your budget is lower, the chef suggests the KitchenAid K400 blender. “ It’s a mid-range product, it works well and makes a nice decoration in the kitchen. » This appliance is guaranteed for 5 years by the manufacturer, and has a 1.4 liter heat-resistant glass bowl. It is sold at a price of 359 euros, and is available in several colors to match your kitchen.
Finally, Leslie also likes to use a small entry-level blender, “ from the Domo brand, bought at ALDI for around twenty euros, I use it to make pesto or preparations in small quantities. » This mixer also includes a glass mixing bowl, with a capacity of approximately 1.5 liters, and offers two mixing speeds. It is guaranteed for 3 years.
