November 17, 1885 was a memorable day in the history of kitchen appliances saving work. On this day, the inventor Rufus M. Eastman received the first patent for an electric mixer who could use the mechanical energy, hydraulic or electric.
African-American inventor Willie Johnson was responsible for the design of an egg beater 1884 powered by a four-wheel drive, along with an array of gears and pulleys that transform a series of mixers, paddles or agitators.
Appliance companies such as Bosch, KitchenAid and Sunbeam are eager to extend the idea of Johnson to turn to the manufacture of kitchen gadgets multi-functional.
Prototype electric blenders were anything but funny and they were large and bulky and seemed more comfortable in a factory as in home cooking. In the 1930s, at least a dozen companies are turning to electric mixers, including the two most famous were the Hobart / Kitchen / Sunbeam Mixmaster help and.
Sunbeam Mixmaster Model M4A, for the first time in 1930, was an awkward shape to flow over the contour of its competitors. This stylish machine has become so popular its name to "Mixmaster" became synonymous with "a stand mixer," just like "Jell-O ®", "Kleenex ®" and "Band-Aid ®" are sweet jelly, tissues face, and all the emergency bandage.
The new drummer was not just a trick to entertain a cook, but was a set of devices that have been Copacetic each other. Sunbeam Mixmaster initially advertised as capable of a variety of tasks, provided that the appropriate accessory available.
Enthusiasm for the mechanization of households began to sweep the nation in late 1800. The officials left the domestic mass to enter the labor market in general. Depression and World War II interrupted life everywhere. Many domestic workers to fill jobs in factories and other formerly held by men who had gone to war. Due to the perception of "servant shortage," middle and upper class femininity to make their own household chores, especially in the kitchen. They were eager to find kitchen appliances that could save time, money and energy.
In 1908, engineer Herbert Johnson, president of the Hobart Manufacturing Company in Troy, Ohio, manufactured the device, which eases the workload where the food was involved. After seeing a baker, using a metal spoon to mix the bread dough, he fumbled around until he invented a mechanical version of 1915, the Hobart mixer 80 / 4 was part of the inventory of all the standards of the United States Navy ships , and had a foot in the door, many commercial bakeries.
By the year 1918, the management did KitchenAid taste tests in their homes. Cars were such a hit, legend has it that one of the wives of management has given a glowing recommendation: "I only know that help is the best food I've ever had."
In 1919, the company is Hobart KitchenAid and decoration work was a "food preparer" (Drummer) adapted to home cooking. It was very large at 65 pounds and very expensive: $ 189.50 (equivalent to about 2000 $ in early 2000). But in 1936, industrial designer Egmont Ahrens trimmed down size mixing both and especially its price to $ 55
This new appliance is adapted commercial blender in 1908 and introduced a revolutionary concept known as "global action" action combines the ingredients to reach the edges of the cup. The recipient must not be turned manually.
The first retail sales of the console KitchenAid slow. Perhaps the companies were too wary about expensive new device. Hobart / KitchenAid has created a working group Mobil, comprised mainly of women, as we approach the public to go door to door, showing the wonders of the tool for the preparation of novel foods. KitchenAid I thought that maybe a woman talking to another woman in this new product is more intimate approach to sales. The mill attachment juicer and food available for the first time in 1919, is the drummer even more attractive.
In 1937, KitchenAid introduced fully interchangeable accessories, a clever marketing ploy. The concept is still used in the 21 st century. For example, attachment to the skin peas 1919, though no longer available, still conform to the current model.
The title "American Icon" was awarded the KitchenAid mixer to be with the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC, where he discussed the mixer is a major force in American family life.
KitchenAid may have been the first group to make independent electric mixer, but the highest degree of consumer acceptance Sunbeam Mixmaster was the invented by Ivan Jepson. Your Mixmaster was patented in 1928 and 1929, and first marketed in bulk, in May 1930.
Jepson was able to create a mixer for Sunbeam, which sold for a fraction of the cost of the machine from KitchenAid. (In early 1930, Sunbeam mixer sold for only $ 18.25 [$ 240 at the beginning of the 21st century], in contrast to the $ 189.50 for heavy KitchenAid.)
Jepson, a Swede, emigrated to the United States. Upon arrival to the country in 1925, sought a job in Chicago, Chicago Flexible Shaft Company, the parent company of Sunbeam. The expansion of the business was for the production of kitchen appliances and increased Jepson became chief designer at Sunbeam in 1930.
In 1940, several years ahead of its time is mixmaster Jepson was a wide range of tasks: it can squeeze the juice, shell peas, fruit peel, push pasta, grind meat, beans and grind coffee, and open boxes, grind the knives and polish silverware. He also had a commitment drops of oil mayonnaise, ostensibly to control the flow of oil into the centrifuge bowl.
DID YOU KNOW?
- When the suspension or paste drag your way to the head of the mixer, "pasta creep" occurs, possibly endangering the gear and potentially throw the paste or dough and the bowl while splashes. Apparently, the console has a mind of its own.
- The head of the mixer (handle and motor) can be completely removed from the mixer, and using a hand blender.

- Not to be confused with blenders and mixers. They are two entirely different entities. Mixers have sharp knives and usually work to reduce rates more quickly, a liquid or a piece of food ever smaller pieces, and a blender works much slower and has no wings.
