Can a hand blender be used to blend hot ingredients directly in a pot?

A hand blender can directly stir hot ingredients in a pot, but special care should be taken when using it. When using a hand blender to stir hot ingredients, ensure that the material and depth of the pot are suitable for the blender operation. Some pot materials, such as non stick pots, may be scratched or damaged by the mixing head. It is best to use sturdy pots, such as steel pots that are not easily damaged. During the mixing process, as the ingredients are hot, it is important to avoid contact between overheated steam and the motor part of the blender, as this may affect the performance or safety of the blender. Ensure that the contact parts of the blender are not exposed to excessive hot air during operation.

When stirring hot ingredients, prolonged high-temperature operation should be avoided, as the casing or accessories of some hand blenders may not be particularly heat-resistant, and long-term use in high-temperature environments may damage the equipment. When in use, it can be stirred for a short period of time, paused before continuing to avoid overheating the machine. If the ingredients are very hot, you can consider letting them cool down for a while before stirring to reduce the burden on the machine.
