Answer
Using a Magnetic Stirrer for Mixing Creams
Regarding your question about using a Magnetic Stirrer (3.5Litre, 3500rpm) to mix creams instead of a blender, based on the staff's response:
- Availability: The Magnetic Stirrer is currently available.
- Suitability for Creams: A magnetic stirrer has relatively low stirring power because it uses a magnetic system primarily designed for mixing liquids to ensure homogeneity, rather than blending to create the texture of creams, serums, or lotions.
- Limitations:
- It can only mix small quantities of cream, typically around 20-30 grams per batch. If the texture is less viscous, it might handle up to 50-100 grams.
- The formula should not be too thick.
- For Personal Use: For making small batches of 20-30 grams for personal use, a magnetic stirrer might be sufficient.
- Pros: Clean and easy to clean due to the magnetic system.
- Cons: Low stirring power compared to a blender.
In summary, while it can potentially mix very small amounts of thin creams for personal use, it is not designed for blending thicker cream textures or larger volumes like a traditional blender.
