Hand-held beaters and desktop beaters work equally well

Both types of machines are not only effective for whisking eggs, but also mixing food, stuffing, and whisking the egg mixture before baking.

However, there are still differences:

- Volume of processed food: The manual whisk is suitable for low volumes of food and needs to be whisked in a short time.

- Convenience: The desktop egg beater is more convenient when you can keep it running while doing other tasks like kneading the dough. One more thing to note is that the portable egg beater is easier to clean due to its simple, compact construction. Besides:

- When kneading is required for longer than 1 minute, people often use a table beater to avoid hand fatigue.

- In particular, the desktop egg beater is also a good choice when you need to add spices during the battering process, because you can both prepare the ingredients and let the machine operate.

The desktop egg beater often comes with many accessories, the most important of which are the following three:

- Spinning stick mixing stick: works to mix viscous mixes such as smoothing butter and sugar until the mixture is light and smooth, with no lumps. This is the first step when you make most cookies, cakes, cakes, cupcakes and buttercream decorations.
