    Need a stand mixer? Avoid tilt-head KitchenAids

    I am not going to bad mouth a brand of mixer based on one persons experience not getting what they want after the warranty period has expired. With nothing implied or intended regarding Laurel and her experience, there is no way for KitchenAid to know if the mixer was abused or mis-used. My...

    Favorite Hot Sauce?

    I have nothing against "vinegar based" hot sauces. The have their place. Most hot suces have some amount of vinegar in them. I like the thicker sauces like Matouks, less vinegar, more pepper. It has a consistancy similar to ketchup and I use it instead of ketchup on my burgers. Tabasco is...

    What Kind of Stand Mixer is in Your Kitchen?

    The only KA mixers that work with the spiral dough hook are the Pro 5+, the Pro 600 and the Pro 620. You risk damage to the mixer if you use the spiral on any other mixer. Additionaly, as the 5A is the narrow bowl design, I don't think the sprial hook would work without hitting the sides of the...

    Viking mixer review Revised

    The current pro 600 has the plastic gear housing cover. Use it with confidence. If you are in the USA and it breaks during the warranty period, KA will send you a shipping label to send it back to them and they will send you a new one so you don't have to take it anywhere fo repair (if I...

    Kitchen aid mixers

    The primary advantage of the lift bowl is the more ridged connection between the base and the head of the mixer. With the lift bowl, there is less flexing of the head and thus more of the energy is transmited to the bowl. The bowl has always proven plenty secure for me. I always had problems...

    Kitchen aid mixers

    Actually, the issue with the one the "burned up" is the motor got HOT under a very light load. THe thermal protection worked. It shut off the unit. But there was absolutly no reason for the unit to have gotten that hot in less than five minutes of mixing bread dough. The fact that I finished the...
