Unboxing Kitchenaid mixer
After thinking long and hard on whether we shld open the mixer or sell it…. we finally decided to KEEP it! 🙂 heh.. no regrets! The size of the 6qts bowl is even bigger than my head BUT big bowl is good… it allows space to add ingredients and prevents splatters!
I love the all steel construction. Even the beaters and dough hooks are steel! ( unlike the Artisan, it’s plastic? not that sturdy esp if u r making bread dough) The colour of the mixer ( Dark Pewter) is really chic and pretty – matched our Brita flask. So we opened the mixer and we needed to test it out right? Used a cake mix ( the simplest way to bake) to bake cupcakes and a 9″ cake.
Cakes turns out nice! NO FUSS at all… no need to clean the batter which landed on the table… I have free hands to do some washing while the mixing is in process… wah! worth every single penny!
However, maybe the engine is ‘powerful’ ( 575 watts) – it’s super noisy, sounds abit like vaccum cleaner.. and maybe it’s new.. it has some weird engine smell coming out.. ohh… some parts of the flour was not mixed properly – so i needed to stop the mixer on a few occasions to scrape down.
Other than that…the mixing action is superb. It keeps the place clean and does the job done FAST 🙂
Us and our great kitchen helper – Will definitely try to bake bread soon!
PS: Being able to bake with BH is bliss… it’s like doing your fave thing with your fave person.. happy! I wonder how long more do I have.
