    What are some proteins that you can put in a blender? :pig:He's not talking about me:pig:

    Ok. Now for a proofer.

    The next step in my journey toward bakery independence is a proofer. I'm looking at Doyon presently, but am open to any good make. Since my kitchen is so small, I need a mobile, small unit. The DP7 by Doyon can do 7- 18x26 pans. I can live w/ that. Like to find used if possible. BTW, I've...

    Mixer type and size

    Kitchen size is 10x16 There's a triple sink, prep sink, 8ft stainless table, single door freezer, 40 in wide merchandiser, 1/2 sheet Blodgett conv oven and 14 in panini grill to go in there. I believe all the items above will go in- well it does on paper anyway. The kitchen's uses will be...

    Mixer type and size

    Greetings folks. I'm looking to buy a Hobart, KA or whatever mixer to make pastries and desserts in a small coffeehouse. I've bought a 26 cu ft dual zone bakery case for my shop. I need to know what size mixer to purchase. Space is definitely limited in my kitchen. I've seen lots of 20qt...
