hand mixers

Motorized batter blenders

Hand mixers are small electric kitchen appliances with rotating beaters, held in one hand while mixing ingredients in a bowl.

Unlike stand mixers, they're portable and require the user to guide them through the batter or dough: She used the hand mixer to whip the cream.

They handle most light mixing tasks but lack power for heavy bread doughs.
