CASH OUT NOW… or RISK ONE MORE PUMP?
You’ve faced that dilemma with crypto or stocks — but what about mixers?
Yes, your everyday kitchen mixer has a story just as dramatic.
Travel Back with Me — before KitchenAids graced every wedding registry, before hand mixers buzzed on countertops… there was raw invention, fierce competition, and a race to beat eggs better than anyone else.
👨🏭 1856: A Baltimore tinner, Ralph Collier, creates the first rotating mixer.
🥚 1859: The Monroe brothers hand-crank their way into history with the rotary egg beater.
Enter Dover Stamping Co., who turned that simple tool into the “Dover beater,” a household name — and even a dessert sensation in a 1929 newspaper recipe for “Hur-Mon Bavarian Cream.” Yum.
But then… the power literally shifted.
1885: Rufus Eastman powers up the world’s first electric mixer.
By 1914, Hobart rolls out commercial beasts that changed bakeries forever.
And finally… the 1920s: the home kitchen revolution. Mixers went from niche gadgets to countertop heroes.
From hand-cranked relics to high-powered machines, the mixer’s journey is a tale of innovation, taste, and just a bit of corporate drama.
So, next time you whip up cookies… remember:
You’re not just mixing batter — you’re stirring history.
