electric kitchen food mixer
An electric machine in the kitchen that mixes or crushes food and drinks in a tall container.
Patrón de uso:
use a blender to mix [food/drink]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse a 'blender' with a 'mixer' or 'food processor'. A blender is especially for liquids and making things very smooth (smoothies, soups), while a mixer usually mixes dough or batter, and a food processor is better for chopping and grating solid foods.
Sinónimos
liquidizer (Mainly British English; refers to the same type of appliance, though it is less common in many varieties of English.)
|
food processor (A different but related appliance; can perform some of the same tasks but is usually better for chopping and grating than for making smooth liquids.)
Antónimos
hand whisk (A simple manual tool used to mix ingredients, contrasting with the electric power and speed of a blender.)
