Question
Does an immersion blender, used for mixing things like soup, need to be immersed in a mikvah? It is electric, and it might be made of plastic or glass (I believe glass does not require immersion).
Answer
Hello,
The fact that the product is electric does not exempt it from immersion.
However, in this case, there is no need to immerse the electrical part, only the part that comes into contact with the food.
If the entire part that contacts the food is made of plastic, immersion is not required.
If there is a part made of metal [usually the blade is metal] or glass, it requires immersion with a blessing.
