Will this work OK as a stirrer for cold mixtures ?

Yes, works well for iced coffee and the like... Doesn't do as nice a job on thick things like milkshakes, but you can do it... Will wear on the motor. Had mine over a year and makes my coffees so much tastier.

Yes, it does for mixtures like Instant Breakfast, powdered Chai latte mix. However don't expect it to create foam.

It definitely works with cold drinks. But it is pretty small (the whipping end is about 3/4 inch across), so I don't think it would work well for mixing anything thicker than milk. I'm not sure what kind of mixtures you had in mind. Hope that's helpful!

yes, absolutely . The only tip i have is if it is having trouble blending take the blades off and shake the prod around a bit. if it is too full it creates a sort of vaccume other than that it works perfect with ice or frozen fruit.

I think so....it heats evenly, the sides can get hot, but if keep at a low temp with frequent stirring. Works great for soups, sauces I have made. Good Luck!

I use it to make shakes with ice cubes. Crushes the ice very well. I have also made home made dressings, grinds spices that are in oil well. I have not tried to grind a chile pepper though. Not sure how fine ground you need it though. I don't think it would pulverize it. There are two blades in the small container and three in the larger. I am very happy with it for my needs.

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

If the alcohol was in the freezer and the mix-in is very cold and sugary, it works well. To keep the drink slushy, it must stay in the Slush Mug.

I bought this blender to make homemade mayonnaise as my old blender quit working. In the past I have used a very similar hand blender to blend soups and for making apple sauce, apple butter and jams, etc. There was no problem with the hot soup or jams, but I was careful not to go above the mark indicated on the blender.

I'd only recommend for cold beverages. Copper would conduct the heat more and would likely make the handle too hot to hold.

I wouldn't use it for that applications. I would think it would be too small. I use it as a funnel for bottling in small mouth jars

I used it for blending soup and marinara sauce before I got an immersion blender. An immersion blender is much better for that - I can control the level of smoothness and it's less cleanup. I think the blender is best for drinks.

I believe so, it will handle thin to medium (thickness) liquids. Highly viscous liquids like honey would be difficult to stir with this whisk.

Probably as a chopper or if you want to make sauces.But I wouldn't invest the money in this. I bought it and returned it. A hand blender does the job.

It has a "cold stir" setting. Instruction book says that setting "allows you to stir already cold or hot milk without additional heat". I think if you tried to put ice into the mixing jug you'd probably break the machine. And it doesn't chill any ingredients. But if you operated the unit on the cold setting, your cold ingredients should come out about as cold as when you put them in. The cold setting operates for 60 seconds, and you have the option of re-selecting the cold stir setting for another 60 seconds if you need to.

I primarily use it for wine, but there is many a harvest day when a cold beer is best and if I forgot to chill one I have used the cooper cooler with excellent results. The spinning does not shake it and they open fine. If you are really concerned then turn off the spin feature and just let the icy liquid run over your container. I bought a second one of these as a gift for friends and I know their kids also use it to chill cans of soda without negative results.

Hello: I mix this with milk or water using my vita-mixer in shakes. Have not tried mixing in a glass of cold water and stirring. It is a fine texture and blends completely.

I am not sure - think I read in manual not to be used to crush ice. Great for making smothies, sauces and chopping veg for soups, etc.

Yes! That's what I use it for. Cold process soap. I love this mold! However, if you fill it more than about half way, the contents are heavier than the mold is strong and the long sides bow out a bit. This is easily remedied by placing something stout (or another mold) on either of the long sides. Happy soaping!
