An electric food mixer includes an electronic control for operating the mixer in one of a plurality of three modes as selected by a user. In a normal mixing mode, the user selects the speed of the motor and starts and stops the motor by manually actuating a switch. In a timed mixing mode, the user selects the desired running time of the motor as well as the speed of the motor. The motor is started in this mode in response to the manual actuation of a switch, but automatically stops upon the expiration of the selected running time. In a utility timer mode, the mixer is controlled to operate as a utility count-down timer. Upon starting the mixer in the normal mixing mode or in the timed mixing mode, the motor is controlled to start at a slow start-up speed that is less than any of the selectable mixing speeds.
