The Hamilton Beach® Stay or Go® Blender is great for blending classic beverages such as smoothies and icy drinks, but it is equally talented at preparing food such as salsas and purees. Once this multi-tasking blender is in your kitchen, it will quickly become your go-to appliance for preparing many different things. From making milkshakes and morning smoothies to food preparation tasks such as pureeing, dicing, chopping and grinding, this blender can handle the task. Grind your favorite nuts or some cookies to top an ice cream sundae. The handy 8 oz. container has a shaker/storage lid so you can grind, store, and serve from the same container. Making a salad dressing or some sauce to top broiled fish? The 16 oz. container is great for smaller quantities.
