Even the keenest cooks value small appliances that will save work in the kitchen, from slow cookers to microwave ovens. One of the best time-savers you can find is an electric mixer with a range of stirring, whisking, and whipping attachments. The food mixer department at Ace features a selection of stand mixers and handheld models to ease your food preparation tasks.

Stand Mixer or Handheld Mixer: What's the Difference?

Kitchen mixer models come in two main types: stand mixers and handheld electric mixer models. Each kind of mixer machine has its place, but they have important differences that will help you decide which kind is right for you.

A lightweight handheld mixer is a quick and easy way to mix and blend ingredients held in a separate bowl or pan, while a stand mixer is a more robust and powerful device that includes its own bowl and sits on the countertop. But beyond that simple difference, the two electric mixer types have a range of distinct benefits.

Advantages of a Stand Mixer

Stand mixers from popular brands like KitchenAid are a versatile choice that can do much more than simply mixing ingredients. Using the right attachments, you can mix, blend, whip, grind and even chop. This versatility means a fully equipped stand mixer can replace a food processor for many everyday kitchen tasks.

A standing mixer also makes a great baking mixer because its powerful motor can handle large batches of heavy ingredients, with capacities of up to six quarts or more. This means you can use it as a dough mixer to quickly prepare the base ingredients for baking and toasting bread or pizzas. Stand mixers are also a convenient choice for ingredients that need a long mixing or kneading time, as they can be left unattended to do their work without any manual effort.

Handheld Mixer Benefits

The lightweight of handheld mixers makes them an excellent cake mixer choice for quickly whipping up frosting or cream. Their smaller size means they can be stored conveniently in a cabinet to free up valuable counter space. Hand mixers are also more maneuverable, so they can be used anywhere in your kitchen rather than taking a fixed spot on the counter.

What’s more, handheld mixers can be used with almost any type of container, letting you mix directly in a saucepan or cooking pot rather than transferring the ingredients to the dedicated stand mixer bowl.
