Stefan, you're complicating things unnecessarily. Yes, you can get a major
mixer or mixmaster, and drop $150- 200 on one. Or, you can go down to
Walmart, and buy an inexpensive hand mixer for a little more than $20.

That little thing will do pretty much anything you need, if you haven't
needed one up to this point, and if it turns out you use it enough to want a
major machine, you can get one later. At that point, you won't have wasted
$200 on a machine you may not use.
