eggbeater

Rotary mixing tool

An eggbeater is a handheld kitchen tool with rotating blades used to beat eggs, whip cream, or mix batters.

The classic design has two interlocking beaters turned by a hand crank.

Electric versions are now more common.

In slang, eggbeater refers to a helicopter, from the resemblance of its rotor blades: The eggbeater touched down on the hospital roof.
