Jill, it sounds like Doris means a hand-cranked one. The first one I had lasted
well over forty years. I use mine at least once a week. It is much easier to use (For me) than an electric FP, mixer, or stick blender, etc. and it washes quickly by hand. N. |

I changed the topic (in the subject line, even) and asked about a dozen eggs because Sheldon said he uses a hand beater when he beats a dozen eggs at a time. I wondered, who does that? Sheesh. No need to get all excited about it. Jill |

They do get the job done though. I don't use mine very often. I will when making a pasta sauce where I left the vegetables chunky because some people don't like chunky. And I sometimes will in a bean soup although a potato masher is just as easy. I think I have made a few sauces that called for it. |

The hand mixer with ONE beater, however, does a bang-up job. -My rotary cannot go into the dishwasher as parts of my ancient one are aluminum. That is a deal-breaker right there. If something cannot go into the dishwasher, it is less likely to be used at my place. Happy to use the appropriate tool when necessary, but always happier if it cleans up without my intervention. |

I'm not saying you have to do that. I was illustrating that cleaning the beaters from an electric mixer can be quite easy. Cindy Hamilton |

All 3 of them should be really good at making whipped cream with a wire whisk...strong right-hand muscles and all. ![]() |

What do you make that uses a dozen >eggs at once? > >Cindy Hamilton I will be beating a dozen eggs for dinner tonight, potato omelet for two adults and two teenage boys... already got four large spuds pared, diced, and browned.... may even add another half dozen eggs, 14 and a 16 year old boys can absorb food like a abyss, especially after doing yard work for four hours... hmm, I have a pound of sliced white American cheese from the deli, might add some too, but I'll ask first, teens can be fussy, some don't like cheeze... was already told no onions or peppers, but was informed they both like Heinz red and Tobasco.... oh, and I got a dozen kaiser rolls. They can have a choice of beverages; Coke, 7Up, Gatorade, milk, but no booze. I don't mind feeding them, they work hard, do a good job, and it's not easy to find reliable teenagers to do chores, I pay them each $10/hr, it's hard work clearing brush from hedgerows. They give me four hours a week, their regular job is clearing brush, string trimming and such at the golf course. Anyway, a dozen eggs is a nothing, to feed 400 aboard ship I'd crack a thousand eggs... would have been a lot more but only about three quarters ate eggs. |
