The whole internet coIIaborated to determine what this kitchen tooI was

The internet collaborated to identify a kitchen tool: the egg beater. Patented in 1856 by Ralph Collier, it evolved with designs from E.P. Griffith and the Monroes.

The Dover Stamping Company popularized it with the “Dover beater.” Turner Williams and Willis Johnson made further improvements.

Rufus Eastman invented the first electric mixer in 1885, leading to brands like Hobart and Sunbeam. Hobart’s 1919 Kitchen Aid mixer became a household staple.
