Mixers are domestic kitchen appliances that were invented to
reduce manual labor involved in folding, mixing and beating
ingredients. The first mixers were hand-cranked. Stand mixers
are sturdier than their handheld counterparts and are used in
nearly every commercial business that makes bread or bread
products. A typical hoem stand mixer has a bown between 3 to 7
quarts and weighs 15 to 30 pounds. Usually home mixers include a
wire whip, a flat beater, and dough hook. Stand Mixers are
either Spiral or Planetary. Spiral agitator attachment in a
spiral mixer remains stationary off center in the bowl while the
bowl itself rotates. Planetary action stand mixers, such as the
KitchenAid move the action of the agitotor in an orbit around
the bowl whil the bowl itself remains stationary. It has been
said that spiral mixers are better for mixing dough and
planetary mixers are btter for whipping and blending. This is
the little appliance that launched a whole brand. This was and
