Kitchen Mixer Help

I actually asked for this mixer for Christmas one year. Yes, a man who cooks! My wife is the envy of many of her friends. I enjoy cooking, and creating new dishes. Recipes are just a starting point, right?

This mixer, while not replacing a stand mixer, is wonderful. It has enough speeds, a nice soft start feature which makes it easier to avoid a mess, and electronics that keep the speed constant regardless of the load. I especially like that last feature.

My husband was mixing up Christmas Cookies and burned up my Sunbeam which had served me well for the last 10 years. It had its drawbacks such as the bowl not being big enough or having enough power to mix up a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, but it chugged along. My husband told me that he was trying to beat in the last of the flour and it started bogging down and then smoke came out of the vents by the motor. He had bought me a kitchen aid hand mixer when my old one bit the dust, and noticed how much I liked it.

My girlfriend has owned her Kitchen Aid for a few years and uses it daily. I thought how great can a mixer truly be, all it does is mix things together. I have owned many mixers in my time, they all seem to have the same problem…run out of steam. She showed me all she has done with her Kitchen Aid and I thought well now that might be the answer to my prayers.

I use mine primarily for icing. Royal icing requires heavy duty mixing of up to 20 minutes. Some mixers can’t handle that king of abuse. This one works great. These can be used commercially. The attachments are great and easy to clean. I simply rinse under the hot water tap. Compared to other mixers, it is fairly quiet even when running at top speed. The stainless steal bowl is perfect for egg whites, whipping cream and such that are temperature sensitive.

My only dislike is that the circumference of the bowl is not wide enough to allow either scraping around the bowl or pouring ingredients in while running.

Kitchen Aid Classic Series K45SS Stand Mixer

I love my kitchen aid mixer. I am a quadriplegic and have no hand function and limited arm function, but I love to cook! I looked at a lot of stand mixers and settled on the kitchen aid for several reasons.

First the switches are easy to turn off and on with limited pressure and no need for finger dexterity. Second, the top is light weight enough I can lift and set it back down without much force. Lastly the quality for the price. It happens I got it on sale but after using it these past 2 years, I would have gladly paid full price.

This mixer is surprisingly stronger than those built in the 80’s. When making cookie dough, it doesn’t seem to hesitate after the last round of flour is added.

The mixers are designed so that they have their own specific slot…that way you can’t put them in the wrong way. Further, their thin wires are easier to clean the bulkier 80’s version.

The compact size and low price make it an ideal tool for those with little kitchen space or those on a tight budget.

The buttons are easy to use and well labeled…in fact, an instruction manual doesn’t even seem necessary.
