I was really excited to try out my new Black +Decker Helix Hand Mixer. My daughter and I bake every Saturday so we put the mixer to work. We made a cheesecake and pancakes we used the wisk for pancakes and they came out very fluffy and airy. Next we used the beaters for the cheesecake and I absolutely love the flat bottom of the beaters it gets all the mix. I like the sleek look of the unit but my favorite thing is the case. No more looking for beaters in the drawer everything goes into the carry case. This is by far one of the best beaters I've used light weight sleek look and carry case all in one.
