Sticks to tilt-head stand mixers - types of food mixers explained

You can find 3 main types of food mixers and the best one for you will depend on your cooking needs and personal preference.

  • Stand mixer - A stand mixer sits on the countertop and does all of the work for you. They typically come with a mixing bowl and attachments. You can find tilt-head stand mixers that have a switch to lift the head and add ingredients or bowl-lift stand mixers with a stationary head and a lever to move the bowl up and down.

  • Hand mixer - A hand mixer is a handheld device with two electric beaters that can be used to whip and mix batters. They may come with different attachments and are small for easy storage.

  • Stick mixer - Stick mixers are held by hand and used to blend smaller amounts of foods. They’re great for blending food directly in the bowl or pot and for smoothing out lumps in batter and sauces.
