115: Best Uses for Immersion Blenders
Show Notes – Episode 115: Immersion Blenders and Pantry
On the latest episode of Lady Journey Katie and Sarah start off with a digression on the art of the panty drawer and segue into their new lifestyles as immersion blender owners. Then the ladies do a deep dive into keeping a fully stocked pantry.
Immersion Blenders
By total coincidence Katie and Sarah got the same blender for Christmas. They’re both using the Kitchenaid Hand Blender. Sarah’s used the blender for Tomato Soup, Baked by Melissa’s Green Goddess dressing and her own homemade pesto. Katie became a white stereotype and made a cauliflower soup with simmer sauce.
Keeping a Fully Stocked Pantry
Katie’s on a journey to maintain a fully stocked pantry. Read the Lady Journey Pantry Guide for more!

Immersion blenders are indeed great for soups and salad dressings. Here’s my favorites: (1) Melissa Clark’s Red Lentil Soup https://archive.fo/YTYCF#selection-409.17-409.39 (2) Caesar Salad: Dressing [1 egg yolk/1t dijon mustard/1T red or white wine vinegar/25g of anchovies (half-a-tin), 1 garlic minced, half of a lemon juiced, 1/3-1/2c oil, and finally adding some parmesan into after blending] (if you’re using olive oil, be careful to only use lowest speed setting https://www.seriouseats.com/does-blending-olive-oil-make-it-more-bitter), Croutons [impressive results just using regular white bread and toast on a frying pan with oil/salt/pepper] – then basically put salad together like this Gordon Ramsay’s version (chicken optional) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGlWE4AFQ5Q
Katie, have you tried Melissa Clark’s sardine toast combo https://archive.fo/kPzTx ? I like sauteeing intact sardine fillets before assembling. What’s your sardine meal?
That sounds amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. My go to for sardines is to just eat on a cracker drenched in djion mustard, perhaps a glass of white wine if i’m feeling naughty!
