Kitchen Mixers: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. The earliest mixers were essentially manual egg beaters, which are still available today. The first one was developed in 1856 by a tinsmith in Baltimore. It was a hand-cranked device built into a container. It was intended for beating and aerating eggs.
Fact #2. In 1885, the first electric mixer was patented. It used a single paddle at the end of a faucet-like tube, powered by a motor. Kitchen appliance companies quickly took note, most notably the Hobart Manufacturing Company. They developed their first freestanding model in 1908, intended for commercial bakeries. The Sunbeam Corporation was quick to follow suit, releasing their own version in 1910.
Fact #3. The holy grail of kitchen mixers is the standing model. This is designed to be a fixture on your countertop. In most cases, they use removable bowls and attachments, while the weighted base stays in place. This keeps cleanup to a minimum and makes it possible to switch between tasks.
Fact #4. Most standing mixers include mixing beaters as well as whisk attachments and dough hooks. They come in capacities suited for every kitchen, from those in small apartments to industrial bakeries. Thanks to their powerful internal motors, many models can be expanded to serve a variety of non-mixing functions. A front-facing hub on most KitchenAids, for example, allows for the attachment of pasta rollers, meat grinders, and more.
Fact #5. If you're a fan of scrambled eggs, a mixer with a whisk attachment is an excellent way to ensure fluffiness. It'll whip plenty of air into your egg mixture, creating a much frothier consistency than you could achieve by hand. The same is true of milk and cream. You can make a batch of fresh whipped cream in minutes. Mixers also come in handy when making mashed potatoes.
