One of the kitchen gadgets I find the most useful to have is a simple hand blender, which I use often to blend soups, smoothies and even sauces, such as Bolognese to make them easier for the little ones to eat. A hand blender is easy to store, takes up very little space in a drawer and is also quick to clean.
I reviewed the Russell Hobbs Desire range a little while ago. This time I have two Desire hand blenders worth £19.99 each to giveaway.
