Self-clean

Once upon a time, there was only the jug blender - A jug with a blade system that sits on a motorised base. It is used to process soft ingredients into fine pieces, pastes, and purees but models with a powerful motor and strong blade can process hard ingredients like ice.

The jug blender is commonly used to make creamy soups, smoothies, dressings, pesto sauces, etc. To use, fill the jug with ingredients to blend, put the lid on and start blending.

These days, there is the hand blender (also known as immersion blender/stick blender) - compact, handheld, and with a blade system, is a contender that performs the same functions as the jug blender. Instead of filling ingredients into a jug in the case of a jug blender, the hand blender shaft is immersed into the ingredients inside any vessel.
