Who is the Blenders & Processors poster for?
Blenders & Processors belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning equipment can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Blenders & Processors poster?
Blenders work with liquid. Processors work with solids. Using the wrong one wastes both. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Blenders & Processors belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
