Customer Review: An essential tool for any kitchen.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had one Kitchen Aid mixer or another for years now. I remember my mom's old stand mixer, and can't imagine how I got along before the arrival of the K5. If you bake, you simply must have this mixer. Now, there are other good high-end mixers out there, but for reliability, power, and simple old-fashioned good looks, nothing beats the KA. Before any other kitchen countertop appliance, I would get a stand mixer. And, this is the stand mixer to get.
Important Note: This model is the one where you lift the bowl, using a crank on the side. It is not the flip-top model (see the K90 for that). This is superior for heavy duty jobs, but does make it a bit harder to remove the attatchments without making a mess.
Description of KitchenAid KSM5PS 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Onyx Black
KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment--325 watts of heavy-duty mixing power that makes child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it becomes to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the aspiring pastry chef will appreciate that the 5-quart bowl can hold enough dough for three loaves of bread.This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaves, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. This model also includes a two-piece pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks to the arms that lift it toward the beater with the easy lift lever.
Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.
To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes--from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim
