Have you ever wondered about the history behind the kitchen tools that we use every day? Today, let’s take a trip back in time to discover the captivating story of one such essential appliance: the mixer.
The Early Days of Mixing
In the mid-19th century, inventors around the world embarked on a mission to simplify and improve the process of mixing ingredients. It all began in 1856 when 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 invention of the whisk – a truly game-changing tool. Not to be outdone, the Monroe brothers, J.F. and E.P., made their mark with the hand-turned rotary egg beater, receiving a patent in the United States in 1859.
These groundbreaking designs caught the attention of the Dover Stamping Company, who acquired the Monroe Brothers’ patent. The Dover egg beaters soon became immensely popular, earning the title of a beloved American brand known as the “Dover beater.” Their reputation reached new heights when a mouthwatering recipe featuring the famous Dover beater appeared in the Gazette newspaper of Cedar Rapids, IA in February 1929, showcasing a delectable dessert called “Hur-Mon Bavarian Cream.”
