What are the different types of food mixers?
The most common types of food mixers are stand mixers, hand mixers, and hand blenders. Which one you want depends on how much baking and cooking you do, what recipes you make, and how much space you have in your kitchen.
Stand Mixers - Stand mixers are the largest and most powerful type of food mixer, with a large bowl and ability to use different mixing attachments that are specialized for mixing dough and batter, whisking icing and frosting, and much more. Stand mixers are the perfect size to fit on your kitchen countertop.
Hand Mixers - Hand mixers are smaller than stand mixers and can be packed up and stored away after use. Lightweight and easy to hold, hand mixers are versatile and can be used to mix and whisk, and often have attachments for beating batter, whisking icing, and mixing dough.
Hand Blenders - Hand blenders, also known as immersion blenders, are small, versatile appliances that pack many functions into small designs. Hand blenders are ideal for blending soups, curries, and sauces and may come with attachments for chopping and whisking.
What kind of accessories do I need for my food mixer?
Many food mixers come with a variety of attachments and accessories to add extra functions. If you love homemade pasta, a pasta roller or extruder is a great option. Other useful accessories include spiralizers, sifters and scales, juicers, and even food processor attachments that turn your mixer into an all-in-one food prep machine.
