Save Time With a Quality Stand Mixer

Many today's cooks often prepare a dozen doughnuts or batch of bread on the occasional holiday, and in those situations, mixing or kneading the hard way goes with the "specialness" of home baked sweets. For cooks who habitually bake, unfortunately, that step of food preparation can be more toil than celebration. If you happen to be one of the aforementioned busy cooks, your busy kitchen should incorporate a dependable stand mixer. We have selected three especially well-made appliances for you to contemplate.

The KitchenAid Artisan Series stand mixer is probably the model most people imagine when they hear about stand mixers. KitchenAid has been designing some form of this mixer for decades, and it might provide the best domestic use mixer that you can find today. KitchenAid's 5 quart bowl and substantial motor make it ideal for big batches, and KitchenAid's 10 optional speeds and three attachments make certain that you have a whole range of capabilities to work with. This mixer includes a splash guard and a tube for adding ingredients, consequently an Artisan is furthermore a convenient model to cook with. The KitchenAid Artisan series mixers are priced at $285, and are available in a dazzling array of colors, therefore you may get the best mixer on the market in your favorite color, as well.

Hamilton Beach also markets a top quality stand mixer dubbed the Eclectrics 63221. While this mixer doesn't have KitchenAid's reputation, it still offers many of the same attachments. The 4.5 quart bowl is somewhat smaller, but it uses the same attachments and it's own splatter shield with pour spout. Hamilton Beach's model is only available in six colors, and is a little lighter when rated against the KitchenAid model, as a result it has a disturbing inclination toward "walking" across the counter when working with a especially heavy batch of dough. With all that, though, Hamilton Beach markets a very good stand mixer for approximately $180.

Cuisinart is one more name with a respectable reputation of selling well made kitchen appliances, and the brawny Cuisinart SM-55 ought to keep that reputation unharmed. This powerful appliance is lightweight enough to be carried easily, but stable enough so that it won't do a bread dough polka. Cuisinart's model has the usual whisk, dough hook and paddle utensils and also a splash guard like our other two mixers. One function the SM-55 has which makes the mixer stand out is a timer.

You may actually enable the timer and go away to attend to something else, and this mixer will shut down when the task is finished. The motor has a very generous 5-year warranty, and you will find a well-appointed variety of attachments which may be bought separately, such as a citrus juicer and a meat grinder. The Cuisinart SM-55 is made in black, white and brushed chrome, and sells for about $250.

If you are dedicated to cooking, but would rather accomplish your upper-body exercises somewhere besides your kitchen, one of these machines could meet your needs.
