A kitchen utensil used for mixing ingredients or beating foods. The types of electrical mixers vary in size and features beginning with hand-held models and moving up to heavy-duty models mounted on stands. The hand held models are limited in their features, typically providing several speeds and mixing or whisking attachments. Stand mixers range in size from 3 quarts to larger professional models from six quarts and larger. The stand mixer, which can be adapted to serve a variety of functions, may have a dough hook, a flat beating whip, a wire whisk, a mixing bowl, a food grinder, a juice extractor, and a slicer or shredder for attachments to assist with food preparation. |
