Eg, Great Britain consumer acquiring kitchen implement (3-6)

I believe the answer is:

egg-beater

'kitchen implement' is the definition.

'eg great britain consumer' is the wordplay.
'great britain' becomes 'gb'.
'consumer' becomes 'eater' (eater is a kind of consumer).
'eg'+'gb'+'eater'='EGG-BEATER'

'acquiring' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
