My MIL likes to do her Xmas shopping early. She bought me a KichenAid Mixer Stand Professional 5 series with the 5 qt bowl. I never thought I needed one until I started getting carpal tunnel in my hands making it impossible for me to put out the 150+ dozen xmas cookies I usually do. Well I just [i]had[i] to try it out and make sure it worked. It was refurbished so the warrenty is good for only 6 months. I mixed up a batch of Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Macademia Nut cookies... it took me a whole 10 min to mix up!! Last Dec it took me almost an hour to get all the ingredients mixed well by hand.
After hearing me rave about it for a half hr my MIL told me I could keep it as long as I relaize there will be an empty box wrapped up under the tree for me this year!!! I am so excited!!
Does anyone else have one of these? Do you have any tips or recipes to share? I am the only person I know who has one, all my friends think it's something only their Grandma would own. I think they will be envious when they see how easy and fast it is on Cookie Day this year.
Answer:
I have the 6 qt and it's AWESOME!! I use it for anything and everything....cookie dough, cake batter, breads, mashed potatoes, whipping cream. I love the bowl lift feature....my old one had the flip top head and I didn't like that at all. You're right, it is nice on cookie day. I got an extra bowl with mine and that's been super handy, too. Enjoy!
Answer:
If you have the dough hook you can knead your bread with it. Just put it on low for 5 minutes and it does all the work. I love my mixure and I dont care who thinks it for old ladies
