You can chop onions with a hand blender which has a chopping attachment.

Some hand blenders also come with attachments for grinding.

You may need to slice the onions into small enough pieces so they chop better in the hand blender.

Once you place the onions into the hand blender, then pulse the blender until the onion has been chopped.

Some hand blenders that are good for chopping onions are the Vitamix which has a mini chopper attachment, the Ninja Foodi which has a chopper bowl attachment and the KitchenAid hand blender which can chop onions and other vegetables with the right accessories.

Hand mixers can be used for a variety of different mixing tasks which include making mashed potatoes, cookie dough, bread dough, cake batter, pancake batter, whipped cream, scrambled eggs, blending icings, blend vinaigrettes or even make meringue.

You can also blend together ingredients for muffins, pies, appetizers and other foods, cupcakes, Swiss buttercream etc.

Any recipe that you would use a stand mixer for you can also make using a hand held hand mixer including cheesecake, whipped cream, frosting, cakes, peanut butter cookies, chocolate filled banana muffins etc.

A mixer in cooking is a tool used to mix together ingredients such as by beating, whisking, kneading or stirring the ingredients.

Mixers are a kitchen appliance that combines together ingredients in order to achieve a desired consistency.

For example in baking mixers are a common tool, where the mixers are used to make cakes, pastries, breads, cookies etc.

Mixers can also be used to grind meat, shred chicken, make sausage and meatloaf etc.

Mixers can also be used to dice, spiralize and slice vegetables.

Mixers can also be used to cream butter and sugar until it's fluffy.

Mixers including hand mixers can also be  used to mix and mash mashed potatoes after the potatoes have cooked and makes it faster than doing so by hand.

A stand mixer such as the KitchenAid Stand Mixer can also spiralize vegetables, dice vegetables, slice vegetables and shred chicken.

Stand mixers are very popular and are often used on baking shows and by bakeries to help make dough's, cakes, breads and pastries.

Mixers help to make the repetitive tasks of beating, whisking and stirring of ingredients much easier than doing so by hand.

When a mixer has a dough hook installed the mixer can also be used to knead bread dough.

Mixers can also be  handheld and used to beat eggs and other ingredients as well.
