What does a food mixer do?

A food mixer is an electrical appliance used for mixing, beating, or whipping food ingredients. It consists of a rotating mixing attachment that is powered by an electric motor, and a bowl in which the ingredients are placed. The attachments are typically interchangeable, including paddle attachments for mixing, whisk attachments for beating, and dough hooks for kneading dough. The speed of the motor can be controlled, allowing the user to adjust the power and intensity of the mixing action. Food mixers are widely used for a variety of tasks in cooking and baking, including making batters, dough, sauces, and whipped cream.
