Buy KitchenAid, the quality is worth it! Your cooking

The mixer I grew up with was a Mixmaster...and when I became an adult, I bought and used Mixmasters...plural. They kept dying! They are cheaply made nowadays, not like Mom's old workhorse.

I got to know KitchenAid first in the massive industrial size, in a school kitchen, baking large quantities for 100 people. Then I got to know KitchenAid home (nonprofessional) mixers because my sister got one, and we were doing some baking together. I decided I liked it. As soon as I had enough money to spare, I bought one for myself. This entry-level model is enough for most households.

(I use a bread machine to bake bread or prepare bread doughs for hand finishing, so I have never used my KitchenAid for kneading bread doughs. If you knead bread doughs frequently, you might want to get a higher level model with a more powerful motor.)

Mostly, I use the KA for baking cakes and cookies. I try not to bake a lot for myself, because I don't need the weight gain. But I love baking and am really a master at it, so I look for excuses to bake...as holiday gifts, to take to the office, or to church or parties. The KA does a great job at perfectly preparing cake and cookie batters/doughs. Also, pancake, waffle, and muffin batters--but don't let the machine run too long, it's very efficient, and muffin batters should just be moistened, not thoroughly blended, or they turn out "flat" and tough. If you are following a recipe or directions on a box, estimate a shorter mix/blend/whip time, because this machine works a lot quicker than most directions allow for.

The whipping beater is really excellent at whipping cream or egg whites. When making waffles, or lady fingers, or madeleines, start with the KA whipping beater, then remove the bowl and fold in the remaining dry ingredients with a spatula, gently, until you don't see flour any more; don't overstir. That keeps the air bubbles in your superlight, airy batter for these types of whipped batters. It sounds complicated? Nah. The KA makes easy work out of such things. Don't be afraid, give it a try.

I used to make mashed potatoes from a box, but since getting a KA mixer, I have switched to making real mashed potatoes, because it's easy to mash using the KA.

I've bought a lot of attachments but not bothered to learn them, I really must get around to tinkering with them!

I wish I would have waited and saved up more to buy a KA mixer in a pretty color--the pink Susan G. Komen fundraiser model is fabulous...and lavendar. So, now I'm looking for the first excuse possible to order a pretty one in a neat color! I am totally satisfied with this entry level model, and it is great for most households. I just want a neat color, and that requires moving up to the Artisan 5 qt. model. (The attachments I have will work with any size KA mixer, they are universal.)
