Customer Review: It's Everything I Hoped It Would Be
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced an old Sunbeam Mixmaster with a KitchenAid 250-Watt mixer more than 15 years ago, and it has served me well. Having lately gone to mixing bread dough with a mixer rather than by hand, I had for some time been thinking of upgrading to the KitchenAid Pro 600. Some of the reviewers scared me with their criticism. I went to the internet to see what else I could find out. I found one site where the writer said he had expressed concerns that matched my own. He was finally persuaded to set aside his qualms when he read an article from America's Test Kitchen. From a field of 18 stand mixers, the final three included the KitchenAid Pro 600 and the Hobart 5-qt mixer for home use which sells for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 dollars. The KitchenAid Pro 600 actually performed better at mixing than all the rest! Since, in my case, it was either get a stronger mixer, or give up making homemade bread due to the many ravages of age (I have long since celebrated by "diamond jubilee" birthday,) I opted for the Pro 600. I ordered it from Amazon on October 10, 2007 and it was delivered to me October 11th! Coming to Vernon, Texas from Dallas, Texas makes for overnight deliveries! I made pizza dough from the KitchenAid recipe that weekend. It was the easiest pizza I'd ever made. Early this week I tried the mixer with one of my own recipes for San Francisco Sourdough Bread. Again, perfect results with nothing but shaping on my part. Then today I made up a recipe for Everlasting Icebox Rolls that my grandmother, born in 1877, had used. That really put the mixer to the test. There's a quart of liquid in the recipe, so that takes a lot of flour. Again, not a grunt or groan from the KitchenAid. The spiral dough hook is wonderful. A little shaping with my hands to make the dough into a ball, and it was ready for the storage container that is sitting now in my refrigerator. I did go ahead a pinch off enough to make two dinner rolls tonight. I have a wonderful Maytag Gemini range with a small oven at the top that I find great for two little pie tins holding one roll each. I would say to anyone with concerns about this mixer, just be sure you understand the rules: one minute of kneding with this mixer is equivalent to 12 minutes of hand kneading. Change your personal recipes to the method used in the KitchenAid ones. I believe you'll find yourself pleased with its performance. I can hardly wait to try the Honey Oatmeal Bread from the KitchenAid booklet.
