Yes, the stick blenders are also called hand blenders and immersion blenders. The original recipe called for it to be made in a regular blender but it never worked as well and I hated having to dig the mayo out of the blender and then clean the blender. It's so much nicer to just close the jar, untwist the blender from its motor and then it just takes a few swipes with a small spatula and its ready to be washed.

By the way, I don't think that this is the original way to make mayonnaise. You should google for recipes if you want to see the other way. The other way is cooked and I don't think it's as simple as this approach; however, I have never made it that way.
