Top 10 Gifts for Chefs and Home Cooks- Mixer

#2- Mixer- I’ve had a KitchenAide stand mixer (the ones with the lift for the bowl) for ever.  I don’t use it all that often because I don’t bake much, but when ever I do pizza dough, mashed potatoes, or that occasional cake I break it out.  I also have the grinder attachment and when there is a sale on chuck roasts I grind my own my own burger. 

Interestingly I’ve rarely seen small stand mixers in commercial kitchen, the tilt head versions are much more popular, most likely because they are lighter to move around and generally are less expensive. 

Get all the power you can afford, and I would not buy a glass bowl, go for the SS.  Bowl size normally isn’t an issue unless you always cooking for lots of folks.

 

If you are interested in buying one be sure to check out our Web Specials for the latest special offers from these vendors. Don’t forget to check TOTAL price, including tax and shipping to find the best value for you!  Check back often, as we get new Special Offers from our affiliates frequently and  we will be updating  them regularly.  As we get closer to Christmas be sure to check on the shipping dates.  Buying early can save you a lot. Last minute purchase require the fastest shipping and that  is normally very  expensive.
