The Stand Mixer: A Game Changer
In 1908, an engineer for the Hobart Manufacturing Company named Herbert Johnston had a moment of inspiration. As he watched a baker laboriously mix bread dough with a metal spoon, he realized there had to be a better way. This led him to create a mechanical counterpart to simplify the process.
By 1915, Johnston’s 20-gallon mixer became standard equipment in most large bakeries. Just four years later, in 1919, the Hobart Manufacturing Company introduced the Kitchen Aid Food Preparer, which would later be known as the stand mixer. This groundbreaking invention quickly found its rightful place in kitchens across the country.
From the hand-turned rotary beaters of the 19th century to the introduction of electric motors and the birth of the stand mixer, this essential kitchen tool has undergone various innovations to make our lives easier in the kitchen.
