MsDammit Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I tried made a body butter that turned out awesome, but the next time I made it, it turned out like mush. I took notes as a went, and did everything the same-ingredient/direction wise-the only difference is the first time I used my stickblender and the last time I used my hand mixer. Next time I'm definetely using the SB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I have only used my hand mixer with great success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I made it using my stand mixer - with the SB I don't think it would whip up very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I've never used the sb for my scrubs. But if it worked for you, then keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsglass Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hmmm...I've only ever used a hand mixer for mine and it turns out light and fluffy. The trick I've found is in freezing it between whipping sessions. Freeze for 5-7 minutes (gets solid on edges of bowl), whip for 30-45 seconds. Repeat again and again until it's fluffy. I can't imagine getting through it with a stick blender, unless it a tiny batch maybe?The other thing I've found is without adequate freezing in between the whipping, the beaters will cause friction which warms the butter and deflates it. Ya gotta keep things cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The recipe I use, I use a stickblender for. I would think you should be able to use either and still get good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
