liquidizer

Makes smoothies possible

A liquidizer is a British term for what Americans call a blender—an electric kitchen appliance with rotating blades that reduces solid foods to liquid or puree.

She put the soup ingredients in the liquidizer.

The word emphasizes the outcome of the process rather than the mixing action, making it perhaps more descriptive than its American counterpart.
