Chrome coating appeared in my cookies!
This is dangerous, NOT a smart purchase! I read reviews all the time when I make purchases here on Amazon, but rarely feel compelled to write them myself --If you look at the close up photo I've uploaded, you'll see that the coating on the two blender heads is actually coming off. The way I discovered this was as I was eating some cookies, I noticed something shiny inside the cookie! Retraced all my steps to figure out what it was, and this hand mixer was the culprit. I'm sure eating metal coating can't be good for you! As a kitchen appliance that's coming in contact with food and liquids, the mixer attachments should be made out of stainless steel, not cheap steel coated in chrome. Interestingly the whisker that comes with this IS made of stainless, and I'll continue to use that without any problems - so the manufacturer just tried to save some money here at the cost of peoples safety. I've used the mixer twice, and all I did was mix cookie dough inside a stainless steel bowl. The rubbing of the heads against the bowl has caused the chrome coating to come off and get mixed in with the food! Amazon should take this off the market because it's down right dangerous, not cool.
