I enjoy using the Helix performance hand mixer, for baking and cooking. Before i got this hand mixer i used a traditional spoon or spatula to mix recipes for cooking and baking. I now realize ive been missing out on the ease of use and results i needed. This hand mixer is a powerful machine. Making cooking and baking so much more pleasant and archiving desired results in a fraction of the time! Very pleased to have this handy kitchen tool. Will be using much more often in the kitchen.
