A good blender is flexible enough to make a range of sauces, soups, smoothies, and more—it’s a countertop staple that will come in handy while cooking a range of sweet and savory foods, season after season. We’ve tested the latest designs by blending smoothies, nut milks, and pancake mixes for breakfast, as well as blitzing fresh, nutrient-dense dips, sauces, and soups for dinner. The blenders we recommend have been built with durability and style in mind, with features designed for everyday cooking and baking tasks, and will come in useful for aspiring pro-chefs and even the most apathetic of home cooks among us.
