The nearest thing we have to 'Cool Whip" is 'Elmlea'...

I have seen that. Is it like Cool whip? Have you seen flavoured cream or
sweetened cream?

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.

Who are you talking to? We *know* what the original topic was (it was
Fake Ingredients, not whipping cream). 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.

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.

No. They don't taste the same. And Dream Whip is something else too.

But then I won't have the beaters for 2-3 weeks... sometimes I don't
run the dishwasher for two months.

The bother is not in getting them out in my case, as the rotary beater
resides in the cupboard next to the hand mixer, but there are two
reasons I do not use the rotary for whipping cream:

- I use a freezer-chilled 16 oz Pyrex cup to make whipped cream, and
the rotary does not fit into it well. 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 have several kinds of hand whisks for beating eggs, some are just a

Actually, our first hot tub had a wood-fired heater that my
husband made from a coil of soft copper tubing, a 55-gallon
drum, and a cheap swimming pool pump.

Don't leave us hanging, Julie. What do you make that uses a dozen
eggs at once?

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

For some people, that's a tough one; because they don't own cotton
towels, and ran out of paper ones.

longer than sf (The West Coast Handjob queen).

Just push the button and they pop right off the machine into soapy
water...quick swish with a washcloth..quick rinse and they are clean
within less than a minute.

Can't get any easier than that.

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

There are some Polish recipes for Babka that call for a dozen eggs or
egg yolks. Can't think of anything else where ewe used that many.

When I made brioche last weekend, I used 10 whole eggs, but they got
added one at a time to the dough.

I have mixed up more than a dozen eggs at a time for brunches,
prepping for scrambled eggs and omelets. I usually use a Foley fork to
mix them up.

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.
