I like to make cheesecake a lot.Does this handmixer beat through room temp cream cheese?

I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it will. It's a DC motor at 135-145 watts. I believe they used a DC motor inside in order to get more low speed torque. It went through butter no problem.

I haven't tried that yet; however, I don't think the mixer would have any problems with room temp cream cheese. I have ran through a "refrigerator cold" stick of butter with no problem.

I haven't tried it on cream cheese yet. I know it does a fine job on whipping cream, but that's a different story.

I use it on my white kitchen aid Classic mixer. It works wonderfully. Just made cream cheese icing with it in fact

So far, I have only done a butter cream icing. It worked wonderfully! I feel very confident it can easily handle Italian meringues or other icings. Also, I have made bread several times and it works like a charm with that. I can't think of anything else heavier, so I would imagine any icing I threw at it would be fine.

I have two of these and I use one exclusively for confectioners/powdered sugar for making frosting. It works great!

I haven't used mine in my waterbath for cheesecake yet, but I would think it would work very similar to a regular springform pan after wrapping in a double layer of aluminum foil to make sure the water can't seep into your cheesecake (or whatever you are making). I would be extra cautious getting the springform pan into the pan of water, but I am very careful with a regular springform pan anyway.....hate for all that gooey, ooey cream cheesey goodness to get wasted by dropping it all over the floor!

My experience says it does so long as the cheese is cold right out of the fridge. If you let the cheese reach room temp, you will have a messier, less satisfactory result. I used mine just this morning on some extra sharp cheddar to add to brunch omlets. No problems, but the cheese was cold.

I have used it for years and love it. Sorry to hear you are snowed in. Cheesecake sounds good about now here as well :).

I made a few different mini cheesecake recipes with this pan and all have turned out great. Try going on pinterest and putting in mini cheesecake recipe. I've made a raspberry white chocolate one and a khalua one too. The khalua one was better when I only used half of the amount of khalua called for.

After reading the answers below from other customers, I must make a rebuttal. While it is true that this mixer sounds slow, it whips cream in 60 seconds flat, whereas any other mixer I have had takes 5 - 8 minutes of beating to get whipped cream into peaks. It also handles cookie dough, cake dough, etc. It is by far the best hand mixer I have ever had. I am 72 and have had quite a few of them through the years.

Yes, it's great for cookies, cakes, whipped cream, meringue, frosting and bread dough. It has two bowls. One you use the roller and scraper with and one you use regular beaters. I use the roller and scraper for everything except whipped cream, meringue and thin icings. I never use a mixer for mashed potatoes, a ricer or food mill is much better.

I have not used it for this purpose, however, my old mixer had the same kind of beaters and worked just fine on egg whites or cream. My one complaint about the mixer is that it did not arrive with a small bowl. I'm sure meringue and whipped cream would turn out better in a smaller bowl. If I order one from Sunbeam, I'm going to specify that it has the attachment on the bottom so that it will turn at the correct speed.

Yes. It makes great slices of any tyoe. I've tried it with a lemon cheese cake slice - the result was fantastic. Every slice was nice and even.

there is an attachment that comes with the mixer for that kind of mixing, good for ice cream and milk, (not ice)

You can use any cheesecake recipe but I found that if you put them in a 300 degree convection oven for 25 minutes, they don't puff and then collapse. If you don't have a convection oven, then turn your oven to 325. I make many mini cheesecakes and found that a 10" cheesecake recipe will make 36 minis and the recipe for an 8" will make about 18 of them. To put crust in the bottom, spray with butter spray, then mix cookie crumbs (2 cups) with 1/4 cup of sugar, put a heaping teaspoon of crumbs in bottom and tamp down. Works awesomely and I get tons of compliments on them.

Yes it will make whipped cream - however you will have to work to keep the beaters turning as long as it takes. There is a gear in the housing that steps up the speed of the beaters, so they do go faster than just the speed you are turning the handle. But I have found this hand beater to be very useful and I like it better than a corded hand mixer

Yes! It does a good job of grating cheddar cheese. Just tested it and I give it thumbs up. Haven't tried any other cheeses.

Yes and no, it has to be very firm. Any soft or sticky cheese becomes a mess. I have sliced cheese that was cold and then let it come to room temp. I don't think that it was intended to do cheese. As with any tool you must try it to see if you can make it do what you want it to do.
