That's pretty much all I was looking for: Somebody that can at
least say "I've seen it done". I figure if I just use a shallow
bowl I can run it through like a lawnmower to get air into the
mix. I was just worried about the sharp blades breaking the egg
cells, or something.

There are stick blenders that don't have blades, just stumps that
rotate. But I've never seen those in a home kitchen.
