CASH OUT NOW… or CHANCE ONE MORE PUMP?
You’ve faced this decision with crypto or stocks — but what about kitchen mixers?
That’s right — the humble kitchen mixer has a surprisingly dramatic history.
Let’s rewind — before KitchenAids were on every wedding registry, before countertop hand mixers were a staple… there was raw ingenuity, fierce rivalries, and a race to beat eggs faster and better than anyone else.
👨🏭 1856: In Baltimore, Ralph Collier invents the first rotating mixer.
🥚 1859: The Monroe brothers make their mark with a hand-cranked rotary egg beater.
Then came the game-changer: Dover Stamping Co. transformed the simple egg beater into the legendary “Dover beater,” even earning a feature in a 1929 newspaper recipe for “Hur-Mon Bavarian Cream.” Delicious.
But then… the game changed — literally.
1885: Rufus Eastman introduces the first electric mixer.
By 1914, Hobart’s commercial machines revolutionized bakeries.
And by the 1920s, the mixer had become a home kitchen icon.
From hand-cranked tools to high-speed powerhouses, the mixer’s evolution is a story of invention, culinary delights, and a dash of corporate drama.
So, next time you’re whipping up cookies, remember:
You’re not just mixing dough — you’re stirring up history.
