Guide Review - KitchenAid Stand Mixer
My Absolute Favorite Kitchen Appliance
I've had "Ole Bluey" (yes, I named my Kitchenaid stand mixer) for over 13 years. My mother had one, too. This is the most reliable machine in my kitchen. I always know that whatever I'm mixing, it will be done to perfection. Creaming butter and cream cheese for a cheesecake is a breeze. Mixing batches of thick cookie dough, no problem. It's the same with bread dough. Making whipped cream is a dream. I pour cream in the bowl, and turn the machine on. I can go away for a few minutes only to come back to a bowl full of whipped cream. Clean-up is so easy. The bowl and the attachments can go in the dishwasher, but there is so little clean-up it can be done by hand, too. The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is the best kitchen appliance you'll ever purchase. It's sturdy. It's powerful, and it looks fabulous on the kitchen counter. It's a timesaver. It's a personal energy saver, too.
