Cuisinart Power Advantage 9-Speed Corded Electric Hand Mixer, Silver

I had a version of this 9-speed mixer back in 2010, but I didn’t use it very much, and my extended family commandeered it. In the meantime, I used a Kitchen Aid 5-Speed that was “barely “ adequate, but could cut the basics. As I began to cook/bake more regularly, I really started to miss my old 9-speed. Getting it back is like getting back a limb and a sense. People have to understand this hand mixer is not a stand mixer and has to be used appropriately to shine. It creams beautifully, mixes dry ingredients beautifully, and is relatively quiet. But it’s risky to mix liquid/creamed ingredients with dry ingredients using this machine. That technique is called folding and is best done by hand just until the flour streaks are gone. The 600-Watt motor is powerful, but not that powerful. All-in-all, a very handy kitchen helper.

This Cuisinart nine speed hand mixer not only works like a dream, but its’ innovative looks are very sharp, and the price was extremely reasonable. My old hand mixer that I have had for over 40 years, finally broke, so I have been looking for a while, and comparing many brands and styles. This particular hand mixer caught my eye, and now that I have bought it and used it, I know I made the right choice. It does everything that it claims to do. It is absolutely amazing.!
