Your all purpose beater is going to be your flat beater. This could be used for almost everything in between a super light whip and a super heavy dough. Which means this is going to be great for cookie doughs, for cake batters, for quick breads and everything in between. With the structure of this it's going to cut through butter to cream your butter, adding sugar for when making a nice sweet dish. This will also be good if you're adding chunkier bits say to a quick bread or if you're going to add some nuts to it. They'll be easily to incorporate the flat beater you'll see with this one you're not going to use it at as a high speed as you would with the whisk. Because you're not trying to whip things up and make them nice and fluffy you're going to have it at a slower more moderate beating speed. Depending on what exactly you are making you can have it from nice and slow speed up to a much more faster speed. But you're never going to have it up as quite as fast as if you were using the whisk.
