I know that Jiffy

I haven't seen any small jiffy mixers for sale, but have something that works
very well for me. I went to my nearby Service Merchandise (sold at other places
as well) and purchased a small hand held blender. Used to crush ice, mix milk
shakes etc. Mine is a Braun, but they are made by a variety of companies. I
use it all the time to mix up glaze tests. Even comes with a plastic mixing
cup. Actually, mine never saw food, ever. Bought it specifically for the
ceramics lab. Love it.

I have a small Jiffy Mixer with 10 inch shaft and 1-1/8 inch daimeter
blade. When I bought it, it was the smallest size they made -- for
mixing a pint of liquid or so. I think I bought it directly from
Jiffy Mixer Company, 4120 Tigris Way, Riverside CA 92503-4843.
800-560-2903 or 909-272-0838.

All,

I picked up a second hand (it looks really old) hand-held "milkshake
mixer?" that I use for mixing up test batches. There's no blade, just a
bent disk. What's neat is that the rotation of the disk mixes the test
batch AND keeps the thing glued to the bottom of the jar so I can go do
something else!. Works real well.
