#2: Just Beat It!

Most of our modern-day kitchen appliances are updated versions of things that have existed for decades. For example, take this vintage whisk. It looks like the automated whisks and mixers we use today. The main difference is that this one doesn’t have an electric cord attached to it. This vintage whisk was completely human-powered. 

One lucky vintage shopper found this 1950s-era whisk at an antique shop. She simply had to have it. As you can see, the mixer is hand-powered by a crank on the side. The handle looks pretty ergonomic, too. We’re amazed that this mixer is in such immaculate shape. It almost looks brand-new.
