    A blender isn't the same as a whisk. A whisk whips things up and gets air into whatever you are whisking; a blender purees things.

    I guess it may depend on what you are whisking. I know from experience that whisking potatoes produces fab mash, but using a blender turns them into a horrible starchy glutinous mess.

    Sorry :-(

    I think you'll have to do it by hand:(
    The stick blender chops and blends but you need to get the air into it.

    I don't think a blender will do it sorry, either send the OH to Tesco for another mixer, get him whisking or cheat and buy a dessert!

    Good luck.
