KitchenAid’s long earned reputation was originally built on its mixers and blenders due to the fact that they surpassed their competitors at the time tremendously. Nowadays, KitchenAid still makes some of the highest quality products with affordable price tags such as their KitchenAid stand mixer line. All of these products are made with the best possible components to provide you with a product that will last for years and years.
The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer – 5 Quart is the most frequently recommended and most often purchased out of all the mixers. It comes in a variety of colors such as chrome, white, red, blue, yellow, green and orange to compliment any work or professional work space. It uses a 325 watt mixer that features ten speeds for all of your mixing needs. The head tilts back giving you easy and unhindered access to the mixture at any time.
This model also has a pouring chute with an added shield that allows you to add in additional ingredients without having to stop the mixer – and without any mess. The 5 quart mixing bowl fits high over the mixer to prevent spillage and leaking too.
Most mixers include several different parts for mixing a variety of foods which such as a flat beater, dough hook and wire whisk. This ensures that you are able to properly mix your food without overdoing it or having to do it twice. Flat beaters are great for making batters from cakes to meatloaves and virtually anything that needs to be thoroughly mixed together. A wire whisk is best used when whipping egg whites and mayonnaise and need to have a lighter, airier creation. The dough hook helps properly knead yeast dough for thorough mixing.
The Artisan Stand Mixer has ten speeds which allow you to choose the correct speed for nearly any job you do. The beaters spin clockwise while the shaft spins counter clockwise, creating a vortex of mixing so you don’t have to move the bowl around as you mix. It is able to get everything without any intervention of any kind.
Their second top selling mixer, the KitchenAid Professional 600 Stand Mixer – 6 Quart is yet another phenomenally made product that is perfect for a home or commercial setting. It boasts a very powerful 575 watt motor which can handle nearly any type of tough mixing job with no problem. It is able to mix 14 cups of flour, provide 8 pounds of mashed potatoes, or mix a double batch of bread dough with ease.
It features a Soft Start, which helps minimize splatter, to build up the speed of the mixing. It has ten different speeds and also comes with the wire whisk, flat beater, dough hook, and pouring shield as its accessories. The smart technology of the 600 series mixers also has an automatic shut off for when overload is detected so not to burn out the motor.
