Egg beaters are a common kitchen utensil made of aluminum or stainless steel. They are used to mix eggs and other substances into a smooth liquid, make batter, meringues, sauces, and prepare egg dishes. They feature two rotating beaters and a hand crank for speed control. They are easy to clean and require no more care than hand washing or dishwasher cleaning.
The egg beater has been a common kitchen utensil for many years. As a hand tool featuring two rotating beaters that work together to mix eggs and other substances into a smooth, textured liquid, beaters can be used to make all types of batter.
Hand egg beaters are usually made from aluminum or stainless steel. The construction of this device includes an open handle that is easy to slip between your fingers and grip, so there is solid control during use. A hand crank is included on the side of the hand beater design, allowing the user to rotate the two rotary beaters at the lower end of the tool to any desired speed. The device is constructed as one solid component, with no detachable pieces. This means that cleaning is done by hand washing the entire unit or by placing the utensil in the dishwasher.
Rotating egg beaters are most commonly used to make batter. In the case of making a cake, they can be used to mix flour, sugar, eggs, oil and flavoring into a tasty batter for the layers of the cake. They’re also a great way to mix cake mix with eggs and other ingredients that are needed. As the beaters are moved around the ingredients, the rotating beaters are operated using the hand crank on the side of the device, mixing the components until the batter is smooth.
Egg beaters can also be used to make meringues. By placing the egg whites in a bowl along with some sugar, the mixture can be beaten until mountains of creamy white meringue are created. The meringue will have a smooth, creamy texture, making it ideal for baking flavored meringues or as a topping for cakes.
The use of this utensil to create sauces and to smooth lumps in sauce is also common. Putting the sauce or gravy in a mixing bowl, then using beaters to work through any lumps will produce a smooth substance that can easily be used for pasta dishes. The smooth substance can also be served on the side as a topping with mashed potatoes or as a side dish for various types of vegetables.
Of course, egg beaters can also be used in the preparation of egg dishes. From scrambled eggs to preparing egg mixture for use in a breakfast casserole, these tools get the job done in less time than it takes to install an electric mixer and require no more cleaning or care.
