Our 10-Second Hack for Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Eggs are a way of life. Whether you’re having scrambled eggs, quiche Lorraine, or omelets, eggs taste great no matter what. Whisking a lot of them, on the other hand, can get tiring—especially on the wrists. The next time you have guests over and you’re frantically prepping a dozen or more eggs for a scramble, skip the whisk. Instead, you can use an immersion blender to quickly and uniformly beat a big batch of eggs to perfection. 

Our editorial director, Daniel Gritzer, recalls using this method during busy restaurant brunch services. “You don’t have time to be dainty about it,” he shares. “We’d blend them with a giant commercial stick blender until totally homogenous—not a strip of visible whites anywhere.” You may not necessarily need a hand blender the size of a stick vacuum at home, but you can grab one of our top picks, the KitchenAid hand blender, while it’s on sale at Amazon’s Spring Sale.

Why It Won Our Review

It’s Lightweight and Cordless

We loved the convenience of the KitchenAid immersion blender. The cordless design allows you to move around with a bit more freedom than corded models, especially if you’re one to blend directly into a steaming hot pot. It’s great to not have to hold a cord away while blending and worry about it getting into your food. Plus, the battery pops on and off easily and the blender itself can stand upright on its base—no need to find a place to rest it while you cook.

It Has a Powerful Motor

Most importantly, the KitchenAid Go aced all our blending tests. It yielded velvety mayonnaise, creamy soup, and silky smoothies. There’s no doubt that it would excel at mixing a big batch of eggs just in time for brunch omelets. Just make sure you have a slick ceramic-coated skillet on hand to achieve a smoothly folded omelet.

Do We Recommend It?

KitchenAid Go Cordless Hand Blender

This is a great cordless hand blender for all sorts of emulsifying tasks. From mayonnaise to soup, it tackles every pureéing task without trouble. We also like that it comes with a blending cup for making smoothies. With the combination of convenience and power, it’s worth grabbing, especially now that it’s marked down during Amazon’s Spring Sale.
