For the last 48 years, Cuisinart has been perfecting the art of home appliances, and their latest hand-held mixer is no different. The Cuisinart HM-90S is made in the USA guaranteeing the quality of each part as well as the overall performance of the mixer. Right from the start, you will notice the compact design that’s achieved by fitting a storage case which snaps into place on the mixer’s inner ring. This allows you to store all of its attachments together avoiding what we all hate; misplaced beaters and whisk attachments.
Features
A 220-watt motor with automatic feedback powers the Cuisinart HM-90S. This motor produces enough torque to get the job done easily cutting through butter right of the fridge or a double batch of cookie dough. The automatic feedback feature ensures that the mixer doesn’t stall on a particularly resistant spin by automatically increasing the power allocation to the motor and stepping back once the resistance is smoothed out.
To avoid splattering during the start, the motor comes with three low mixing speeds. Depending on the ingredients you are working with, you can decide to forego these initial low mixing speeds and power up all the way up to the max nine speed. All this is possible thanks to the one-step power switch which makes it possible to control the variable output of the motor across the nine speeds. As an additional precaution, the mixer has an LED display to indicate the current speed.
Cuisinart includes four tools with this mixer; these include beaters, chef’s whisk, dough hooks, and a spatula. The extra-wide beaters design does not include a center post; therefore, ingredients will not clog it making it easier to clean the beater.
The professional 1.75-inch diameter chef’s whisk comes highly recommended for adding volume to whipped cream and creating stiff fine-textured egg whites. You also don’t have to worry about preparing yeast dough as the dough hooks are designed specifically for this task. These parts are made of stainless steel to prevent rusting and are dishwasher safe.
