When You Need an Off-Grid Mixer
We were watching an old episode of Good Eats this week, and this connected with me in a big way!
During his “Going Dutch” episode (which is available on Netflix now), Alton was showing some ideas for power outages, and this is what he used to come up with as a way to beat egg whites.
