Hi all,
I made key lime pie yesterday and made whipped cream in my KitchenAid to top the pie today.
All went well, but when I removed the bowl from the stand and whisked it by hand (to finish it and not over-beat it), a dark metal residue came off on my hands. It mostly washed away (there's still a little bit there), but I'm not sure why it was there to begin with. I rubbed my hand against a darker part of the whisk (a section that attaches to the stand mixer) and the darkness rubbed off onto my hand, leaving the whisk lighter than it was before. I do wash this part in the dishwasher.
This has also happened to me when I washed an aluminum cake pan in the dishwasher. It was of high quality (Chicago Metallic) and said you could wash it in the dishwasher.
Is this "metallic residue" a bad thing? How do I avoid it? Wash by hand? Does anyone else get this? All help will be appreciated!
Cheers,
Tim
