Everyone needs a
Kitchen Aid. It's not only a helper, it's a beautiful piece of kitchen ornament."This Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of
mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and
whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is
to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three
attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all
textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more
air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs.
All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft
with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for
guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself
locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a
foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand
mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better
to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides,
this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.
