The best blender for hummus???

sudzs

I currently use one of those hand held stick blenders to make my hummus. It's not bad but at the start the chickpeas clog up the blades and I have to keep stopping and starting again. In fact the whole process is stop - start. I was going to invest in a blender but a friend of mine just got a new one and when he makes hummus the same thing happens him. I'm just wondering if he would do better on a pulse setting.

Is this a general problem when making hummus or is there a fab blender out there that will do the job with less hassle?!

I have a processor and find it works well. A jug blender wouldn't be great for something like hummus. Even a mini chopper would be OK if you were making small amounts

Food processor definitely superior for making Hummous.

Ya know, my mother has been telling me for years, to invest in a food processor but I have always resisted. I might have to surrender and buy one!

Thanks for the advice!

You can get a little one pretty cheaply and if you're making small quantities of stuff it would probably be better than a big one

I make my hummous in the pestle & mortar. I don't like a very smooth/loose hummous and the P&M leaves it with a nice bit of texture.
