I’m really a frustrated inventor at heart. I love/hate coming across products that are awesome and that I can’t live without. I’m happy that my life will be better, but it bugs me that I didn’t think of it.
It’s like Spanx. I know a lot of people were cutting off their pantyhose before Sara Blakely made a multi-million dollar company out of it, but I was doing it for years and can’t believe it didn’t occur to me that Hey, there’s a product here. I will never let it go. It kills me.
I bake a lot. I have a Kitchen Aid mixer that I seriously put through its paces on a regular basis. I don’t like to stop and scrape the bowl because I’m lazy, but mostly because I get paranoid that I’ll ruin a recipe by not beating it for the correct amount of time. Is that OCD? I don’t know, but it was right in front of me and I missed it.


So this thing called the Beater Blade has attached wings which scrape the bowl while it mixes. I ordered it from Amazon today and it’s on the way. It’s gonna change my life, but it won’t get me on Oprah.




WOW!! I didn't know anyone else was as crazy as I am about the whole stop the mixer to scrape dilemma!!! NOW I have to go buy one too!! thanks for the tip!

That certainly LOOKS awesome… I don't even have the mixer (yet) because I hate having stuff out all over the counter, and I have no more storage space in my cupboards. Plus, I hardly even bake. Still? I have mixer-lust. Ack. This looks great!!

Oh MY but that's fancy.

I must have one of those! Okay, I don't have a mixer, but I've used one! I have to stop the thing every 11 seconds to scrape the sides. What if some of that flour on the side of the bowl is actually baking powder? If I don't get it all mixed in right away, my cake might not rise! Then my friends and family will judge me.

Nathan's gonna hate you for this one
I just got my kitchen aid and HOW did I not think of this before!

We have that same thought, frequently.

I actually won this mixer and that exact mixer blade a month ago. 1. How did I live with just a hand mixer for this long? 2. I don't want to use anything other than this beater blade to scrape the bowl. It's amazing. You will not be disappointed.
