We have tried five different kinds in Boston, before a large audience
and on the demand of an inventor of one, but none could beat eggs as
well as a common hand-beater. The whites of the eggs could not be raised
with any of the others much more than half as much as with the common
one; and besides, could not be beaten stiff.
Many persons do not succeed in making cakes of different preparations in
which whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth are used, because the eggs
are not properly beaten.
Any tinsmith can make an egg-beater. It is generally made with tin-wire,
but may be made with brass-wire.
With the cut below, as a model, it can be easily made.

The handle _a_ is of tin, into which the tin wires _b_ are fastened and
soldered.
