I have a large kitchen aid stand mixer, and I love it… But sometimes i want a small mixer where i do not have to lift the 500 pound beast onto the counter.
Something this style:
I got a Braun HM5100 six or so years ago. Use it at least twice monthly and it’s still as good as the day I bought it. It’s variable speed on a dial, not a switch, so you can bring up or down the speed with much more control.
The last one I had I found in a thrift store.
Avocado green, 70s styling, would work forever.I probably would still have it if I lived in the US.
I had a harvest gold thrift shop mixer that I loved until the spoon incident… it burned out the motor, or screwed to the gears. It never was quite the same after that.
Old school kitchen appliances are the absolute best… may they rest in peace
Thrift stores know this now and are asking a premium price.
Well isn’t that some bullshit
I have a KitchenAid hand mixer that’s been fine. If you’re happy with your KitchenAid stand mixer, seems that it might be reasonable to get the hand mixer version. I mean, you’ve already got a picture of one posted.
Note that I’m assuming that “variable speed” here translates to “discrete number of speeds in a given set of increments”, and not some “continuous-variable speed where you can just move a slider” thing.
A Bamix is bifl.
While I’m sure their quality is there, an immersion blender isn’t what op is after. Even if it comes with a whisk attachment, the hand mixer uses interfering counter rotating sturdy attachments that can handle more solid things like boiled potatoes, which a whisk or immersion blender would be fairly useless for.
