Stick Blender Watts for CP Soap-Making

[sjacrane]

Hi, what minimum wattage (of a stick blender) would you recommend for soapmaking? I saw some that were 200 watts and others that were 350.


Thanks,


Stephen

Either one. I think mine are 200 watt. You only need more power if you are making large batches, and then a fancy long shaft SS one is in order!

Get too much power and you could wind up with air bubbles in your soap!!

I wish mine had variable speed.

Mine have low and high, and I use the low almost exclusively.

Mine has 5 settings from low to high.

My Hamilton Beach stickblender has 200 watts and 2 speeds. The biggest batches I've ever done with it at a time are 5 lbs, but my usual size batch is 2.5 lbs. It has served me well for over 5 years now and still going strong.
