Uses for Stand Mixers
Stand mixers have many more functions then hand mixers and definitely cut down on the work required to make delicious food. They are used for kneading, whipping, beating, and mixing ingredients. Most of the work is done by the mixer and doesn’t require much supervision when you get it started.
Rotation and Revolution of the beaters
The beaters will rotate on their axis just like a standard mixer BUT will also revolve around the bowl for a more thorough mixing of your ingredients. A quality stand mixer like the ones here will perform these tasks all by themselves. You do not have to stand there with a spatula and tend to the scraping of the contents from the side of the bowl. A good stand mixer does this for you!
Due to their weight, they are more stable
Once the beaters are set in motion on these quality mixers, they do not “walk” across the counter. They are sturdy and balanced enough to mix the heaviest recipes.
5 Quart Capacity Bowl
These stand mixers are big enough to hold a batch of bread dough, your favorite triple layered chocolate cake recipe, or a double batch of “monster” cookies! The bowl is easy to remove and pours with ease.
Variable Speed
Many novices have set the speed too high when adding ingredients. This has resulted in the “just floured” look on their faces as they exit a cloud of flour dust from the kitchen. That is why the use of a variable speed stand mixer is imperative. Always start the mixer on the lowest setting before adding dry, or even wet 
, ingredients. The upper speeds are used, for example, when beating egg whites to introduce air into the mix to make them nice and fluffy.
How Much Power Is Enough?
The KitchenAid Artisan mixer was rated the most powerful and the best all-around stand mixers in tests done in September 2009 by Consumer Reports Magazine. Choice Magazine and Bon Appetit magazine also gave it the highest marks in its category. It also receives more praise from reviewers at Amazon.com and Cooking.com then any other stand mixer. From all indications by these prestigious magazines and websites, the KitchenAide Artisan stand mixers will give you the best value and durability of all stand mixers on the market.
During the Holidays and family get-togethers, it is always a good idea to have a quality mixer to whip up your family’s favorite delights. Stand mixers offer the best bang for your buck because they are so versatile and if you are someone who has tendonitis like me, you will appreciate a mixer that can do most everything on its own. If you are someone who likes to make a lot of bread, or makes many double batches of whatever, you will want to get a heavy duty motor like the one in the KitchenAid Artisan as this will give you a very consistent performance from your mixer and not bog down or burn out. Too many times I have been assisting friends and family with their Holiday baking and smelled the electrical burning of their mixer’s motor. You don’t want this to happen just as you are preparing your famous holiday breads and cookies so please consider the right type of motor first before buying a stand mixer. Nearly all the manufactures that I know will tell you when you are buying the mixer what type of preparations the stand mixer can make.
Why buy a stand mixer? Because it operates completely and more thoroughly than your basic hand mixer. It is easier on your arms and hands and completely mixes whatever you put into the mixing bowl without you having to do anything else with it. Here is how they work…the mixing attachments rotate in two separate motions. Besides the mixing attachment spinning like a normal fixed 2 beater hand model does, the beater attachment spins around all points on the mixing bowl without your guidance thus covering the entire mixing bowl and mixing the contents more thoroughly. This allows you to work on preparing other food while your stand mixer does all the work. Now you may think that making bread dough is better by hand but you would be surprised at how easy it is to mix bread with the dough hook attachment. Again, let the mixer do all the work while you work on something else. It easily will kneed enough bread dough for you to make two loaves of bread.
One of the great things about this type of heavy duty mixer is the attachments that come with them. You can usually buy additional mixer attachments such as if you want to. But the 3 main attachments that usually come with each stand mixer (check this when you buy one) are the dough hook, paddle, and whisk. We have already discussed the dough hook so now let’s address the other two. The paddle is used the most as it can cream things together such as cake batter, cookie recipes, potatoes, etc… The whisk is used for whipping egg whites into shape and/or making whipping cream….yummy!
The only complaint that I have received about various stand mixers is that they are really heavy. Fortunately, you do not have to worry about holding it or picking it up during operation. After all, it is designed to put in place, add ingredients and let it do all the work. You just pour out the delicious contents at the end. Clean up is a snap as you wipe off the mixer and clean the bowl and attachments. I encourage you to check out the KitchenAid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer.
