Breville Hand Mixers

Better Baking Starts with a Hand Mixer!

What is a hand mixer used for?

Much like a stand mixer, a hand mixer is designed to combine ingredients with precision. But unlike bulkier beaters, this lightweight and compact multi-functional kitchen companion gives you the freedom to mix, beat, and whip with ease. With multiple attachments, electric hand mixers are a must-have for everything from sweet treats to savoury delights.

Hand Mixer Uses

• Mix Master – Blend ingredients smoothly and effortlessly for any recipe.
• Batter Up – Whip up blueberry muffins, chocolate chip cookies, and banana bread with twin beaters.
• Whip Up Wonders – Master pavlovas, silky mousses, and airy soufflés.
• Whisk Away – Create light, fluffy omelettes in seconds – without the arm workout.
• Churn It Out – Soften butter for smooth buttercream frosting and cookie dough.
• Shred Like A Pro – Pull apart slow-cooked chicken or pork, no tongs required.
• Mighty Mash – Dish up light, fluffy mashed potatoes with no lumps in sight.
• Dough Duty – Get bakery-style bread or pizza dough without the heavy lifting.

What’s the difference between a hand mixer and a hand blender?

Hand mixers and hand blenders might look similar, but they’re built for very different tasks.

An electric hand mixer is your all-in-one tool for mixing, whipping, and kneading. With versatile beater attachments, it effortlessly whips cream, combines cake batter, and kneads pizza dough to perfection.

A hand blender is all about blending, pureeing, and chopping. Its sharp blades turn chunky ingredients into silky soups and creamy sauces in seconds.

Think they can swap roles? Not quite! Don’t expect a hand mixer to puree soup or a hand blender to whip up meringue. For the best results, use both and let this dynamic duo handle all your mixing and blending needs!

What’s the best hand mixer?

The best hand mixer depends on how you plan to use it! If you love baking, a model with multiple speed settings and whisk attachments will be your best bet. Prefer making bread? Look for a high-wattage motor and dough hooks to handle tougher mixtures fuss-free.

We stock top brands like KitchenAid, Breville, and Sunbeam, so whether you’re whipping cream for pavlova or kneading dough for focaccia, you’ll find the perfect hand mixer at Harvey Norman.

What kind of bowl should you use with a hand mixer?

A sturdy, deep mixing bowl is best for hand mixers to keep splashes and spills to a minimum. Stainless steel and glass bowls offer durability, while plastic options are lightweight and easy to handle. For mess-free results, choose a non-slip base to keep your bowl in place while you mix!

How do I choose a hand mixer?

Finding the right hand-held mixer comes down to how often you’ll use it – and what delicious creations you’ve got in mind! Whether you’re whipping up treats on the regular or just need one for the occasional recipe, here are the key features to look for:

• Power – If you plan to knead dough often, a high-wattage motor ensures smooth, reliable performance.
• Speed – More speed settings mean greater control, letting you mix everything from delicate batters to dense dough.
• Attachments – Dough hooks, balloon whisks, and beaters offer more functionality.
• Design – Go for a lightweight model that’s comfortable to hold. Your hands will thank you!
