They whip, beat, mix, kneed bread dough and a lot more &#8211; with ten variable speeds. They come in a variety of sizes for the personal chef, from 4.5 to 6 quarts, as well as coming in tilt head and bowl lift varieties (I&#8217;ve owned both, and they both have their finer points &#8212; my current, the workhorse 6 quart variety, with the bowl lift and 575 horses under that Nickel Pearl exterior makes quick work of anything I&#8217;ve tossed its way!). They&#8217;re expandable, with a range of attachments such as meat grinders, pasta makers, sausage stuffers, can openers, juicers, pasta rollers, food grains, ice cream makers, and ice water jackets.<\/p>\n<p>The standard retail for these mixers (which are available in a rainbow of colours to suit any decor) starts at $199 for the tilt-head, and $399 for the bowl-lift version. and goes up from there. Available at most retail outlets, or online from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitchenaid.com\/\">KitchenAid.com<\/a>. (As well as other online retailers.<\/p>\n<p>Of particular note is that the bowl-lift version has a corkscrew shaped dough hook, where as the smaller, less powerful Kitchenaids have a C-Shaped dough hook (a C-Shaped hook may be ordered, separately, for the bowl-lift mixers, however). How much of a workhorse is this machine? I&#8217;ve turned out over 14 loaves of bread in one afternoon, along with a variety of cakes, and enough mashed potatoes to feed a small army.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_138\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"138\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/thewannabegourmet.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one piece of equipment that my kitchen simply wouldn&#8217;t run smoothly without: The KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
