Surely you've seen those egghead looking devices that whip milk and ice cream and fruit into shakes and smoothies. The head stands atop a post supported by two feet and the magic happens within a removable metal cup (like the kind used to serve milkshakes in old fashioned soda shops). A stick that extends from the head into the container mixes the flavors into frothy or frozen treats. When turned on, the stick whirs around inside the cup, blending milk, ice cream, fruits and whatever else you happen to put inside.
The point is, I've seen these devices for years and never had much interest in them. After all, I reasoned, I have a blender (which I rarely use). Then a friend surprised me with an egghead the other day and lo and behold it is worth writing about. Such simple operation and so little clean up. Compared to the base, blade, jar and lid that comprise my blender, this little miracle worker has only two parts to clean: the metal container and whir stick.
The real beauty of the egghead is the fun it stirs up. I made a frosty peppermint milkshake for my daughter on Sunday. She raved. (The crushed peppermint candies atop the concoction scored extra points.)
With the holiday season upon us, you may want to add the egghead to your gift list or wish list. Give it a whirl!
