The stand mixer!
A stand mixer can handle any task a hand mixer can. The opposite is not true.
Also, a stand mixer leaves you with both hands free to add ingredients or do other tasks. It can run unattended while you go to the fridge or the pantry to fetch an ingredient.
I agree. Hand blenders are the way to go. I use a Bamix Immersion Blender Love it!I use a hand mixer. It's easier than dealing with the big old mixer. Unless you've got room for it on your counters you'll have to take up a lot of space to store it and it's a pain to take out whenever you need it. Also with a hand mixer you can choose the size of the bowl you use. Clean-up is easier too.
But you would need something with a big motor if you want to knead dough.I agree. Hand blenders are the way to go. I use a Bamix Immersion Blender Love it!
