Is there a battery powered hand held mixer out there that can be used for donut mix?
We currently use a KitchenAid Electric Mixer with the flat beater. Is there a battery operated version of this? Any options as we are going to an event where electricity is not available.
Many thanks...
Rent a generator.

How are you going to cook them if there is no electricity?
Heck, _buy_ one of the small Honda generators (the EU series). It'll make enough power to run a Kitchenaid, and it's pretty quiet. A loaded KitchenAid will be louder.
Much easier than trying to find a bettery powered mixer with that kind of power.

A cordless 1/4" or 3/8" drill could likely be rigged up as an emergency beater. I would look at a paint stirring paddle in the local hardware store for the mixing end (it looks like a wire hook).
These drills are now available everywhere and are relatively inexpensive, compared to a KA.
Get one with a spare battery if you are going to make a lot of donuts.
Propane fired turkey fryer?
Thanks Barry but they do not allow generators on site. Anyone else have any other ideas?
Thanks...
I'm not sure what kind of doughnuts you are making. I would think that you could mix cake doughnuts by hand with just a wooden spoon. Perhaps you could make the dough for yeasted doughnuts at home and retard it in a cooler?
Well if you have your car there you could use in inverter (12v -> 120V). Don't know if you can get one from a rental store as it may not be worth buying one. My big Kitchen Aid is a 300 Watt, my 300 Watt inverter cost me about $100 from Radio Shack. It was gotten to run a computer in the car, not a mixer (!!!) so I cannot vouch that it will work but I do not know why not, but I am sure someone will correct me if I am giving you bad advise :-).

I work at an Auto Parts Store (CSK) and we sell an 800 watt inverter for $99. They run small refrigerators, tv/vcrs, and other items so I think it would be quite enough to run your KitchenAid. In fact, I sold one to a marching band director just two days ago to run their portable amps. I think this would be a much better application than a cordless drill. They can run out of steam pretty quick and you'd have nowhere to recharge. Even with a second battery, you could be in trouble if making many recipes.
