KitchenAid Stand Mixers

In this and age where practically everybody’s on the go, people want to make things easier especially in food preparation.

It has a wide array of Stand Mixers to choose from. From the simple need of 2 quarts to as big as 6 quarts to the Tilt-head Stand Mixers of Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers.  There’s the Classic Type to do the simpler mixing jobs or you can opt Ultra Power for heavy batches; or the Artisan for 25 watts more of power or Professional type for commercial preparations.

It is a very efficient kitchen tool that can stand in one small corner of your sink, and can be conveniently kept there instead of tedious storage after every use. A simple-looking kitchen buddy that can do wonders for you. These mixers even come in different colors and finishes to match your kitchen interior. Choose from the elegant finishes like Copper Pearl, Dark Pewter, Metallic Chrome, Nickel Pearl, Silver or Pearl Metallic. If your kitchen is on a pastel get-up, you can choose from colors Almond Cream, Cornflower, and Green Apple or go as fancy as Buttercup or Candy Apple.

Below are the most preferred models for each type of Stand Mixer, based on numerous reviews:

KitchenAid KSM150PSWH Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White

Power wise, this model is a cut above the PowerPlus Model. This tilt-back head 325-watt mixer comes with 10-speed control and three attachments to meet your varying needs: Flat Beater (for making batter and different mixtures), Wire Whip (for egg whites, mayonnaise), and A Hook (for the tougher jobs like mixing and kneading dough). An ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit your hand as you mix with ease in the 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl which locks tight to the base, while a pouring shield and a chute are provided for convenient adding of ingredients as your recipe requires.

KitchenAid 4-1/2-Quart Ultra Power Stand Mixer, Empire Red

Power-driven by a 300-watt motor and $50 cheaper than the Artisan Model, pretty in Empire Red is another popular item on the list of Stand Mixers.  10-speed slide control means a variation in mixing speed depending on your batter or mixtures. Quite heavy at nearly 25 lbs., it ensures durability and noise-free operation as you go about doing other chores near the tool, while KitchenAid does the mixing for you as this unit doesn’t require frequent scraping or rotating the stainless steel bowl. That saves you a lot of time and spares you from troublesome arm and hand fatigue.

KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl

Among these three models, this Professional 600 Series has the most powerful motor at 575-watts designed for a more demanding performance for commercial-style preparation. It has a Soft Start option to minimize splatter and reduce clatter in your rather busy working area, thus saving you a lot of time, and then you can opt to speed up by just choosing the appropriate option on the 10-speed control.

In preparing for a big event, the mixer can help you beat the deadline as it can effectively mix up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour per recipe and other demanding mixing jobs. And to adjust to the busy mixing activity, the Professional 600 Series bowl-lift design raises the bowl into the mixing position making the job a lot breezier.

Stand Mixers means a lot of precious time saved, reduction of food wastes and most of all easy preparation of safer and healthier dishes rather than buying the pre-mixed ones. You don’t have to be a professional baker nor do you need to be a top-of-the-line top chef for you to have the necessity to own one. At very affordable prices in the market ranging from $170 to $500, it is guaranteed wise investment for a little tool that can make you achieve great things in your kitchen, and make your guests believe you are a pro!
