Mixer, food, Handymix
Shared by Western Bay Museum
This mixer, with the apt brand name Handymix, is a hand operated device used to combine food ingredients by beating and turning. It's sturdy construction and easy use would have made it a welcome kitchen addition in its time. It also showcases how kitchen mixers have significantly evolved from hand cranked devices such as this model, to today's more advanced, multifunctional appliances. Includes an associated booklet called - Instructions and Recipes for the Handymix Food Mixer. The foreword in the booklets states - "In presenting the "Handymix" Food Mixer to the public, the manufacturers had in mind the multitude of housewives who possess only very small kitchens which are unsuitable for the large almost commercial type mixers, the thousands of country dwellings not wired or supplied with electricity and last but by no means least, a moderately priced mixer within reach of the average purse, that does all an elecrtric mixer will do". The mixing bowl is missing.
