Prod, berate new mixer (3-6)

I believe the answer is:

egg-beater

'mixer' is the definition.
(egg-beater is a kind of mixer)

'prod berate new' is the wordplay.
'prod' becomes 'egg' (both can mean to urge or provoke).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'berate' is an anagram of 'beater'.
'egg'+'beater'='EGG-BEATER'

(Another definition for egg-beater that I've seen is " Whisk".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
