I'd like a handheld version. Mostly, it's to put into a pot for blending or pureeing soups or vegetables. Usually I let the blender rest on the bottom of the pot while I move it around -- thus my concern with the steel shaft and casing scratching and harming the pot. My old Braun was plastic, but alot of the newer versions seem to have metal shafts and baskets covering the cutting knife. Thanks again for your advice. |
