Electric MixerA mixer is a kitchen appliance intended for mixing, folding, beating, and whipping food

ingredients. Mixers come in two major variations, hand mixers and stand mixers.

Mixers are distinct from blenders, which contain sharp blades and typically operate at

higher speeds, that chop, liquefy, or otherwise break down larger food items.

History of Mixer

The first egg beater with rotating parts was patented in 1856 by Baltimore,

Maryland tinner Ralph Collier. U.S. Patent 16,267 This was followed by E.P. Griffith's whisk

patented in England in 1857. Another hand-turned rotary egg beater was patented by J.F. and E.P.

Monroe in 1859 in the US. U.S. Patent 23,694 Theirs was the earliest egg beater patent bought up by

the Dover Stamping Company, whose Dover egg beaters became a classic American brand. The

Monroe design was also manufactured in England. In 1870, Turner Williams ofProvidence, R.I.,

invented another Dover egg beater model. U.S. Patent 103,811

The first mixer with electric motor is thought to be the one invented by American Rufus

Eastman in 1885. U.S. Patent 330,829 The Hobart Manufacturing Company was an early

manufacturer of large commercial mixers, and they say a new model introduced in 1914 played a

key role in the mixer part of their business.[7]The HobartKitchenAid and Sunbeam Mixmaster (first

produced 1910) were two very early US brands of electric mixer .[4]Domestic electric mixers were

rarely used before the 1920s, when they were adopted more widely for home use.

Four Types of MixersHand Mixer

As the name implies, a hand mixer is a hand-held mixing

device. Modern electrical designs tend to consist of a handle

mounted over a large enclosure containing the motor. The motor

drives one or two beaters which are immersed in the food and

perform the mixing action. More traditional, non-electrical

designs tend to consist of a handle with a hand-operated crankon

the side which are geared to two beaters. The user grips the

handle with one hand and operates the crank with the other,

creating the mixing action.

Stand Mixer

The design of a stand mixer is very similar to that of a

hand mixer, but is mounted on a stand which bears the

weight of the device. Stand mixers are larger and have more

powerful motors than their hand-held counterparts. They

generally have a special bowl that is locked in place while the

mixer is operating. Heavy duty commercial models can have

bowl capacities well in excess of 100 quarts (95 L) and weigh

thousands of pounds, but more typical home and light

commercial models are equipped with bowls of around 4

quarts (4 L). A typical home stand mixer will include a wire

whip for whipping creams and egg whites; a flat beater for

mixing batters; and a dough hook for kneading.

Stand mixers are generally available in either countertop (also called bench) or floor

models. Whether a mixer is a countertop orfloormodel usually depends on its size. Mixers that are

20 Quarts in size or smaller tend to be countertop mixers, while larger mixers tend to be floormodels due to their size and weight. The two major types of stand mixers are planetary (vertical)

and spiral, each of which is described below.

Spiral Mixer

Spiral mixers are specialist tools for mixing dough and

are unsuitable for whipping or mixing other ingredients. A

spiral-shaped agitator remains stationary while the bowl

rotates. This method enables spiral mixers to mix the same size

dough batch much quicker and with less under-mixed dough

than a similarly powered planetary mixer. Spiral mixers can

mix dough with less agitator friction than planetary mixers,

allowing the dough to be mixed without a large increase in

temperature, ensuring the dough can rise properly.

Planetary Mixer

Planetary mixers consist of a bowl and an agitator.

The bowl remains static, whilst the agitator is rapidly moved

around the bowl to mix its contents. With the ability to mix a

wide variety of ingredients, planetary mixers are considered

to be more versatile than their spiral counterparts. Planetary

mixers can also be used to whip and blend, whereas spiral

mixers cannot.
