Can a hand blender be used directly in a pot or bowl?

Hand blenders can be operated directly in pots or bowls under certain circumstances, but there are also some areas that need to be noted. Generally speaking, if the size and shape of the pot or bowl are suitable, and can accommodate the blendering head for blendering without touching the edge or bottom of the container, and the material of the container can withstand the force during the blendering process without being damaged, then a hand blender can be operated in it. For example, when making thick soup, you can directly put a hand blender into the pot to stir and cook the cooked ingredients. This can quickly mix the ingredients evenly and produce delicate soup, which is very convenient and fast. It also reduces the trouble of transferring ingredients to other containers for blendering, saving time and effort in cleaning multiple containers. However, if the size of the pot or bowl is too small and the blendering head cannot rotate freely, it may result in uneven blendering or even damage to the blendering head or container. And if the material of the container is relatively fragile, such as some thin glass bowls, they may break during the blendering process due to the strength of the blendering, causing safety hazards. In addition, attention should be paid to preventing liquid from splashing out during the operation to avoid scalding oneself. Therefore, when considering whether to use a hand blender to operate in a pot or bowl, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the size and material of the container, as well as the ingredients being mixed, to ensure safe and effective blendering operations.
