There are still a ton of different breads and other pastries that are on my list to make now that I have this mixer.

I just wish that there was a nice case for the strainer and grinder attachments, but the original boxes they came in are sufficient for now.Īll in all, I am pleased with this purchase. Cleanup is easy, storage is easy, and all the mixing attachments nest within the bowl.

Also, I have made many recipes that I normally use a cheap hand mixer on and the quality of the finished product is much more consistent. KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Premium Accessory Pack - Medallion Silver (KSM195PSMS). I immediately ordered the grinder and strainer attachments and let me tell you, wow. 1 With 6 quart capacity, you can easily mix 13 dozen cookies per batch, knead over 8 lbs of bread, or mash 7.25 lbs of potatoes, Using the flat beater 28g dough each. I ran across this one by happenstance at a large big box retailer on clearance for well below its MSRP and thought to myself why not give these another go? Everything I was hoping for! Having had an old stand mixer years ago (not a KitchenAid) I was not in any hurry to replace it because frankly, it wasn't that impressive.
