Ralph Collier, a tinner from Baltimore, Maryland, received a patent for the mixer with revolving pieces in 1856. E.P. Griffith’s whisk, which was granted an English patent in 1857, came next. J.F. and E.P. Monroe patented a different hand-turned rotary egg beater in the United States in 1859.
Their egg beater invention was among the first to be acquired by the Dover Stamping Company, whose products went on to become iconic American brands.This recipe for “Hur-Mon Bavarian Cream,” a whipped dessert made with gelatin, whipped cream, banana, and gingerale, from the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Gazette newspaper demonstrates how popular the term “Dover beater” was in February 1929.
England was also where the Monroe design was produced.[4] Another Dover egg beater model was created in 1870 by Turner Williams of Providence, Rhode Island. Cincinnati, Ohio native Willis Johnson created more advancements to the egg beater in 1884.
It is believed that American Rufus Eastman created the first mixer using an electric motor in 1885.Large commercial mixers were first produced by the Hobart Manufacturing Company, which claims that a new type that was unveiled in 1914 was crucial to the success of its mixer division.
Two of the very first electric mixer brands in the US were Hobart KitchenAid and Sunbeam Mixmaster, which was initially manufactured in 1910.Before the 1920s, when they became more popular for use at home, domestic electric mixers were a rarity.
Engineer Herbert Johnston of the Hobart Manufacturing Company created the electric standing mixer in 1908. He was playing with a mechanical equivalent shortly after being inspired by witnessing a baker combine bread dough with a metal spoon.
His 20-gallon (80-liter) mixer was common equipment in most big bakeries by 1915. The Kitchen Aid Food Preparer, a stand mixer for the home, was first released by Hobart in 1919.
