Unique Mixing Action[1]
experts agree a classic kitchen stand mixer gives the most professional results. "A stand up mixer will aerate the batter a lot more so the cakes will be a little bit more fluffy," says Hogg. Consider the volume of baking you do when choosing your machine. High end Kitchenaid appliances, like the Kitchenaid mixers, come with a large bowl and strong motor that copes with intense use. Some Kitchenaid food mixers offer the best of both worlds: a blender attachment that sits on top of the mixer motor. [2]
Every serious cook dreams of having a hands free mixer that gets on with the work of heavy duty beating, mixing and whipping like Kitchenaid heavy duty stand mixer while they are free to get on with something else. When choosing a mixer, a higher wattage doesn't necessarily mean that it has more power it all comes down to the design, how a bread dough mixer like Kitchenaid classic stand mixer attachments move and how much flour or dough it can handle. To measure a heavy duty electric stand mixer power, look for the term 'flour power'. Six cups should be the minimum, but for heavy dough mixing go for at least 10 20 cups. The best electric stand mixers operate with 'planetary action' where the beater rotates around its own axis. This gives it more contact with the ingredients and reduces the need to keep stopping the machine to scrape down the mixture. The best home dough mixer have several attachments and mixer stand accessories including a flat beater for mixing cake batters, a dough hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs, and a wire whisk or whip for beating air into egg whites or cream. Some electric dough mixer even have attachments for making pasta dough, grinding or mincing meat, and juicing citrus fruits. A good benchtop mixer will weigh around 10 kilos heavy enough to prevent it from creeping along the bench while it's operating.[3]
