Hand Beater

A traditional kitchen utensil that consists of several circular mixing blades that rotate in unison as the utensil is manually hand cranked to mix or beat a variety of food ingredients. Hand beaters, also known as rotary eggbeaters, can be used to easily beat eggs, mix light batters, custards, puddings, and sauces. Despite the introduction of the electric beater, hand beaters are still used when the mixing involves simpler or lighter ingredients. Also referred to as an egg beater.
