For baking enthusiasts, the most inseparable tool is the whisk, whether it is egg beater or whipped cream, you can give it all. Compared with the manual whisk that takes a long time and the arm feels sore after beating, the electric whisk saves time and effort.

So slowly, baking enthusiasts have the small artifact of electric appliances. As a baking novice, you are also tempted by electric egg beaters. How should you choose among the various electric egg beaters on the market?
1. Manual Whisk VS Electric Whisk

Efficiency: The labor required to whipped the cream and egg liquid manually is huge. The hand cramps before the egg whites are released. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the use of an electric whisk is more effective and saves time and effort.
Effect: The manual whisk cannot achieve the effect of continuous high-speed rotation of the electric whisk, which may cause uneven egg whites, affect the whisking effect, and ultimately affect the taste of the baked product.

However, it should be noted that the two are not completely substitutes, but complementary.
Manual whisk:
1. To make biscuits to beat butter, it is recommended to use a manual whisk
2. To make cakes, it is recommended to use a manual whisk to stir the batter, and use an electric power to make tendons.
3. To make chiffon cakes, use manual whisk for egg yolks, and electric ones for egg whites
Electric whisk: The electric whisk is mainly used for whisking egg whites and fresh cream, and it is difficult to whisk it manually.

2. Select by material
The electric whisk is in direct contact with the baked ingredients, so the first step in choosing an electric whisk is to look at the material of the electric whisk to understand whether it is safe. And for the material, we mainly need to look at the body material, motor material and stirring rod material of the electric eggbeater.
1. Body material
The material of the body refers to the shell material of the electric egg beater. At present, the shell materials of the common electric egg beater on the market are made of plastic and metal.
①Plastic material:
Advantages: The plastic body is lighter in the hand, so it is more friendly to girls with little strength.
Disadvantages: Plastic materials will become hot after long-term use, and their price is relatively cheaper than metal materials.
Suitable for the crowd: The plastic material is suitable for people with a low budget and rarely use it.
②Metal material:
Advantages: Compared with plastic materials, metal material has a certain weight in the hand, but it has the effect of shock absorption, so long-term use will not cause arm soreness.
Disadvantages: the price is more expensive than plastic materials
Suitable for the crowd: Metal material is suitable for people who have a certain budget and use it frequently.
2. Motor material
The motor determines the service life of the electric whisk, so be sure to keep your eyes open in terms of material selection.

At present, the motors of electric egg beaters on the market are made of stainless steel and pure copper.

①Stainless steel material: The stainless steel motor can stand the test of time and is durable.
When stainless steel is used for high-power electric egg beaters, the power will be insufficient, which will affect the whisking effect. Therefore, it is impossible to choose high-power and stainless steel motors at the same time.

②Pure copper material: The pure copper motor has the characteristics of durable stainless steel material, and also has a certain degree of corrosion resistance.

The performance in explosive power is also very good, so if you don't consider the power of the electric eggbeater, you should first consider the pure copper motor.
3. Material and type of egg beater

The egg beaters of the electric egg beaters on the market are mostly made of stainless steel, but there are many types of stainless steel. Because the beaters are in direct contact with the food materials, they also generate heat during operation, so the stainless steel material we choose must be guaranteed No harmful substances will be released at high temperature.

At this time, the bakers must look for the egg beaters with the [food grade stainless steel] logo. Food grade stainless steel conforms to national standards and stainless steel sanitary standards. Its lead and chromium content is much lower than that of ordinary stainless steel, and it is also very stable at high temperatures.

As for the types of electric egg beaters, there are generally three types:
Kneading stick (spiral): dedicated to kneading, mixing flour, etc.
Whip stick (lantern-shaped/round head): generally used to whip, such as whip egg whites, cream, etc.
Stirring rod (slice stick): used for stirring, used for mixing mushy food, and also used for whisking.

Three, select by power

After choosing the material of the electric whisk, we are going to choose the power of the electric whisk. The power of different electric whisks is different, and its power is related to the style of the electric whisk.

At present, there are two types of electric egg beaters commonly used in the market: handheld electric egg beaters and desktop electric egg beaters.

1. Hand-held electric whisk
The structure of the hand-held electric whisk is relatively simple, with only two parts: the body and the stirring rod, so the required power will not be too much.
The greater the power, the faster the sending speed, and the better the effect.

2. Desktop electric whisk
The desktop electric whisk has one more base than the handheld one, and a mixing bucket is placed on the base, so the desktop electric whisk will have the function of kneading the dough, and its power will be a little more.

Purchase suggestion:

1. The electric egg beater chooses low-power or high-power, depending on whether you need it to have the function of kneading.
2. If you frequently make bread and other foods with kneading steps, you should choose a high-power desktop electric whisk.
3. If you do it occasionally, you can knead the dough yourself and choose a low-power handheld.

Four, select by gear

Many baking novices do not pay attention to the number of gears when choosing an electric whisk, which is wrong. Think about it, if the electric egg beaters are played in the same gear, it lacks freshness, and the food made is not particularly successful. Generally, gear positions can be divided into two gears and multiple gears.

1. Two-speed design
At present, the least adjustment gear on the market is two gears. Although this is simple and straightforward, it can only satisfy particularly simple cakes. If you increase the difficulty a little, the two gear design will not hold. The other two levels are also unfriendly to baking Xiaobai who is not proficient.

2. Multi-speed design
The multi-gear design is based on the two gears, adding better adjustable gears, and different gears correspond to different needs. Therefore, the more gears of the electric whisk, the more precise the control of the ingredients, the better the taste. So baking lovers should choose a multi-grade design, which can cook a wide range of food.

Five, select according to heat dissipation
Some electric egg beaters felt hot after a while, but he did not feel this way when asked, why? This is the ghost of "heat dissipation". The quality of heat dissipation depends on whether the high heat generated in a short period of time when the machine is working can be discharged out of the machine in time.

1. Cooling holes
Whether it can be discharged in time mainly depends on the heat dissipation hole of the electric egg beater. The common cooling holes of electric egg beaters on the market can be divided into one position and two positions, namely single hole and double hole. The single hole is usually on the side or on the top of the fuselage, while the two-position double hole heat dissipation is mostly on the side, so that convection wind can be formed.

Due to the double holes in the two positions for heat dissipation, convection wind can be formed. Naturally, when the electric egg beater is working, its heat dissipation effect is better. If the heat dissipation effect is good, the service life of the machine will be extended. Therefore, everyone should choose an electric whisk with good heat dissipation, that is, two holes for heat dissipation.

2. Overheating protection function
Some people think that the heat dissipation holes on the electric whisk will affect the appearance, destroy the integrated design, and are more likely to let the residue of the food splash into the inside of the fuselage. Therefore, some high-end egg beaters have built-in overheat protection functions to avoid heat accumulation.

Therefore, those who focus on integration can choose the one with this function.
