Can I blend directly in a glass container using a hand blender?

Hand blenders can be used directly in glass containers for mixing operations, but special care is required when using them. Although glass containers are transparent and easy to observe the mixing of ingredients, they are more prone to breakage than plastic or stainless steel containers, and collisions or intense friction between the mixing head and the container must be avoided during mixing. If excessive force is accidentally applied or the mixing head comes into contact with the glass wall too much, it may cause damage or scratches to the glass container. When using a hand blender, the distance between the mixing head and the container wall should be kept as close as possible to avoid overly intense mixing movements. Glass containers are heavier and may require more attention to ensure stability and avoid accidental tilting or sliding during the mixing process.
However, the advantage of a glass container is that it allows for a clear view of the mixing process and is less likely to absorb food flavors or pigments, which is an advantage for certain sensitive ingredients. If you choose to use glass containers, it is recommended to choose thicker and better quality glass containers, and try to use containers with wider bottoms, which can allow the mixing head to fully contact the ingredients and ensure even mixing. During operation, maintain gentle stirring and appropriate speed to avoid severe impact on the container.
