I've owned KitchenAids during the last 16 years, and never had a problem with them. Of course, I always stay within the guidelines specified in the owner's manual and cook book. Prior to my KitchenAids, I have owned a Sunbeam "Euro-style" Mixmaster. It worked OK, but just was not heavy enough...

I suppose ownership by Whirlpool could be a good thing. There were many complaints about Maytag's Neptune series washers, and their absence of a viewing window. The operator could not see what was going on in the machine. Also, there were problems with their door seals. It would be nice to see...

A DeLonghi mixer that fails after its first 5 minutes of use should be cause for a replacement under warranty. However, DeLonghi chooses for its customer to drive 45 miles to the nearest service center, where whe cost of labor for the repairs isn't covered. So, we have an hour of wasted time...

I almost nabbed me a KitchenAid 4-C, but it got to such a high price that I figured something else can be found for considerably less. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. Looking into a Hobart N-50, though, I think I'm in LUST for one of them. Brand new, berry blue, and hot off the...

Actually, it's the "non-wealthy" who end up purchasing the best stuff. Why? Because once you start using it, food costs all of a sudden go down. Then you get addicted to all those goodies! Case in point? I make less than a grand per month and I have a 10 quart Berkel (like the Hobart...

Well, I have to admit chocoletechef, you have it all now! MrCoffee

I wouldn't use the smaller pots and pans. I'm single, and I purchased a 10 quart mixer, commercial meat grinder, and commercial slicer simply because I can prepare my ingredients in advance, then store them for later use. I also have a 6 1/2 quart slow cooker (it's bigger than most). It is a...

I have a 6 1/2 quart Cuisinart, and it works very nicely for me. I have a smaller one too, but I like to make a larger amount, and then have it in the refrigerator for several days. So, I use the Cuisinart. I like the stainless steel finish of the cuisinart, as well as its controls. You can...

I've looked at a KitchenAid electric with the convection feature, and I would like to have one of those. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and tend to move too frequently. So I have to pretty much put up with what's there. MrCoffee

A Cadco convection is a small commercial unit that accepts half-sized sheet pans, usually two or three of them at one time. They hook up to a 120 volt outlet. They are similar to what you would see in a small cafe, except these have a door that opens like a standard oven and are probably about...

The Vita-Mix and the Robot-Coup will be mine, one of these days. Oh, and I'll need a Cadco convection oven too.... MrCoffee

Gosh, a Robot Coupe RN food processor. Yup, it looks like I need to replace a cuisinart with one of those. As for my favorite gadget/appliance? My Berkel 10 quart mixer, of course. With that machine, I can beat as little as two egg whites (and that's a smaller amount than a Sunbeam Mixmaster can...

Thanks, htc. I'll have to try it when I get the time. MrCoffee

Interesting, htc. Now which type of oatmeal did you use in the recipe? The old fashion, or quick cooking type? MrCoffee

Is the oatmeal in this recipe the old fashion, or the quick type? I've seen flourless cake recipies, and those certainly seem good, although I've never tried making one. When I was around 9 years old, my mother made some chocolate oatmeal cookies that were outstanding. They didn't have any...
