Thanksgiving Problem Solvers

2. Better Batter Beater. Don’t pull out that heavy stand mixer for a small job. Grab this convenient Better Batter Beater and get cooking in no time.
It’s actually two tools in one convenient gadget: a whisk and a spatula. The red rubber edge scrapes the bowl as you whisk to ensure uniform mixing, while the battery-powered beater quickly mixes wet or dry ingredients. When finished, pull the dishwasher-safe head off and wipe the handle with a damp cloth for easy clean-up. The cordless Better Batter Beater won’t handle a thick batter, but it’s great for light mixes like pancakes and pudding. Batteries not included, $20.
