Have you ever stopped to consider the history behind the kitchen tools we use every day? Today, let’s take a trip back in time to explore the captivating story of one such essential appliance: the mixer.
The Early Days of Mixing
In the mid-19th century, inventors worldwide embarked on a mission to simplify and enhance the process of mixing ingredients. In 1856, Ralph Collier, a talented tinner from Baltimore, introduced the first mixer with rotating parts.
Shortly after, in 1857, E.P. Griffith revolutionized blending with the whisk, a truly game-changing tool. Not to be outdone, the Monroe brothers, J.F. and E.P., left their mark with their hand-turned rotary egg beater, receiving a patent in the United States in 1859.
