What do you find the best way to blend the base sauce. Would it be by taking small amounts out of the pot, put them in a blender then transfer to another pot or is it best to blend using hand blender in original pot.
Heres a good thread from a while back:

Some disscussion as to who uses what for blending.

Thanks very much for that thread. Ive read it and looks like I,ll use the hand blender first and see how it goes.
For ease Vinda looo, I always prefer to use my hand blender { a lot less messy too }
I blend in small amounts but I use a Magimix with standard blade. Do not use a jug (smoothie type blender) as they don't seem to get on with onions too well. I usually half fill the Magimix bowl, any more and it goes into vortex and doesn't blend too well. If you really want the best approach (a professional cheffy thing), use a mouli sieve, which is a conical sieve with a hand operated blade to grind and extrude the pulp. You can get these for as low as 45 squid from Nisbets.
