KitchenAid Stand Mixer

Kitchen Gadget Freaks Unite!!! I even have one that is specific for making peanut butter.

I have so many appliances, I have no room for them all!

AMEN to that! I am being pushed out by my kitchen equipment!

So anyway, here's my new dedicated pizza station with my new KA mixer I set up at one corner of the kitchen. The outdoor wood oven is just 10 feet away so it's very convenient.
I finally got rid of the chest freezer which sat there for the last 20 years.

Oh I use mine for all kinds of things. I make mashed potatoes in it, I use it for making cakes, cookies, breads, brownies, etc. I also use it for making ice cream. I use it to make fillings for pastas, I use it for soups that need to be creamed. I probably use mine at least weekly.

Very nice setup! For the serious pizza maker.

My new KA Stand Mixer was delivered today. Too bad I am going out of town tomorrow for the holidays and won't have a chance to use it until I return. I will report back when I use it for the first time. They put a list of attachments that can be bought for it and some of them would be helpful. For example, the food strainer will be easier to use than the by hand food mill I use now for making tomato sauce.

Which one did you get? What color? What are you going to name it?

Some bread machines also make jam.

...
I also have an old (but in brand new condition) stand mixer from the '60s by either Dormeyer or Hamilton Beach, can't remember because it is put away, too big to drag out when I want to bake. ...

How big is it? How many quarts?

 

[magdelinewest]

I only use it for pasta and muffin mixes. It's great if you take the time to learn how not to abuse it. Many don't.

I primarily use Lucille (KA 600Pro) for bread, which I make once a week, sometimes twice. I also use it for grinding meat and other fun things with the attachments.

On occasion I do mix other things and have made butter, but bread was the primary driver.

You named your mixer, Lucille?

I pull out all the stops when I'm emotionally involved.

That's what I was thinking...

Does the SO know about your way too deep emotional attachment?
