I rarely bake but want to make some homemade frosting for my child's b-day cake. Can you use this hand egg beater-- or should I purchase an electric?

Purchase the electric mixer. This beater is for looser batters - such as scrambled eggs, French toast...any liquid. It won't work for anything stiffer than pancake batter.

Works for eggs, but nothing stiffer. It will not do icing. Electric mixer will give you fluffier icing - much nicer.

I think the flat 3 blade beater would be better. The whip is for lighter batters or mixes.

You are talking about a hand mixer. I don't mix bread dough with it. I have never had a problem with power. I have had to replace the beaters a couple of times.

I've had no problem beating 2 eggs in a cereal bowl. It beats them in a shallow bowl but I like to use them in a little deeper bowlbecause it reduces spillage because of the shallow depth. You get a lot of beating speed with very little effort out of this beater.I would not be without one of the OXO egg beaters.

The Sander is not electric,it is a hand sander,only the shop vac you use is powered by electric. However,in my opinion,this unit is the best hand powered sanding system ever made. I personaly own two of them. I use them religiously anytime I need to sand sheetrock without having to worry about sheet rock dust covering everything in the house.

The only frosting I have made is cream cheese. Sometimes I don't allow the cream cheese to soften and throw it in straight from the fridge. While it vibrates a little, it works!

No it doesn't. The beaters do not do a good job when needing butter, sugar or eggs creamed. Leaves chunky particles. I purchased because I thought this would be worth a try. Love the case, that has 2 beaters and a whip beater but disappointed in beating capabilities. My cheap old timers beaters on conventional mixer does better. I'm a very busy baker.

Hi there. We use a gas stove, so I can't say whether it's possible to use on an electric cook top. Also, I've never used it in an oven (though I would feel safer if it had a copper bottom for oven use). As for a dishwasher, I know that they recommend you hand wash this - especially if you use the egg cups. A dishwasher may not be thorough enough to clean any egg residue inside the cups (sometimes you have a little egg sticking to the inside of the cups).

To be perfectly honest, if you plan to continue beating egg whites with an electric mixer, you'd be better suited for stainless steel. Copper is too soft and will most certainly scratch. The bowl design is perfect for whipping whites into peaks easily with a hand whisk.

I don't make omelet from eggs. I use only eggbeaters. It does fit only cup, because I add some veggies. For family of 4 I need make a double servings. It's not a time consuming and power saving. It's more simple to use an oven heated and make omelet. It's also yummy!

I used the battery option as well as I did not think it was worth running electric for it. I used the lithium ion batteries to get some extra life. I had it in our old house for probably 8 months and never had to change the batteries. Definitely get the mixing valve.

I make fabulous egg omelettes on it, quite often. More often than not, I use it to make pancakes and only occasionally use it to make crepes. It does a good job with all these and the occasional fried egg.

The beaters are like two whisks, not like the old style flat bladed ones. I think it would do a fine job of whipping cream. Just make sure you have a very deep bowl because it is very powerful.

I find this mixer handles anything i have thrown at it. I havent done much on frosting front. I have done lots of cake decorating in the past and my Kitchen Aid did great with it. I think the Viking is a little more heavy duty so I think it would do just fine for your frosting and anything else you use it for.
