Planetblandare

Planetblandare is a term of Swedish origin that translates to "planet mixer" or "planet blender". It refers to a type of kitchen appliance, specifically a stand mixer, that utilizes a planetary mixing action. This action is characterized by the beater rotating on its own axis while simultaneously revolving around the inside of the mixing bowl. This ensures that all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated, reaching the bottom and sides of the bowl, which is a key feature of many modern stand mixers.

The term is not widely used in English-speaking countries, where "stand mixer" or "planetary mixer" are the more common designations. However, in contexts where Swedish terminology is used or understood, planetblandare accurately describes the functional mechanism of these versatile kitchen tools. These appliances are typically used for tasks such as kneading dough, whipping cream, and mixing batters, offering consistent and efficient results due to their planetary action. The design allows for a single beater to cover the entire surface area of the bowl, minimizing manual scraping and ensuring uniformity in the mixture.
