A hand held mixer isâÂ?¦well, it’s hand held. With a free standing mixer you can move about the kitchen with your hands free while the KitchenAid classic spins its magic. It romps through cookie dough, bread dough, or cake batter with ten speeds making it easy for the cook toprepare culinary masterpieces no matter what the recipe calls for. Three attachments, a flat beater, a wire whip, and a bread hook come with the mixer so you can begin using it immediately. The flat beater mixes cookie dough, cakes, frostings, and whipped potatoes. Use the wire whip to beat eggs and heavy cream. The bread hook is for taking the ache out of arms and hands of the baker by kneading dough for you. Also included is a stainless steel bowl that holds 4.5 quarts which adds up to 8 cups of flour and that’s a whole lot of chocolate chip cookies mixed and baked. A price tag starting at $169 may seem pricey, but having a reliable kitchen appliance that will last for years is well worth opening your wallet and forking over the cash. Top off the great advantages all ready listed with a one year, no questions asked warranty and suddenly owning the KitchenAid Classic stand mixer seems like a have to have in any cooks repertoire of cooking tools.
KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer: The Cook’s Nuts and Bolts of Mixing
When it comes to the mechanics of mixing KitchenAid brings the technology to the counter top. As the beaters turn clockwise the shaft turns counter-clockwise creating a beating motion that is thorough and deep. It mixes the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl just as completely as the ingredients in the top and middle. With a few quick swipes from the cook using a spatula, the sides are pulled into the batter or dough. Let’s discuss those ten speeds. What a treat! With ten speeds you’ll always have just the right speed you need. The first two speeds 1-2 are only the beginning. This is the speed to start slowly stirring before building up to the others. Hike up the speed to 3-4 and mix heavier batters and doughs like cookies. At 5-6 you’re starting to move mixing into a new realm of thinner batters like cake. By the time you hit 7-8 it’s beating time. You’re no longer just mixing or stirring. You’re whipping and beating heavy cream into whipped cream and eggs into a froth of gold. At 9-10 you’re running wide open now and no one can stop you. Whip small amounts of cream and/ or eggs, at this daring speed, for cooking delights.
