Fred Waring introduced the first blender in 1936; more than 60 years later the Waring blender remains the standard for the field. This blender will crush ice and blend frozen fruit beautifully in a few seconds. Many chefs prefer a blender rather than a food processor for soups and creamy sauces--the blades of a good blender whirl more quickly than those of a food processor and will refine a thin liquid such as cream of tomato soup to an incomparably silky texture. This blender is definitely up to any task.
