Product Review Wednesday: KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

     Let me introduce you to my best friend in the kitchen! [My mom is disowning me as you read this...not really, but the thought definitely crossed her mind.]

     So, some of you may be thinking, what's the big deal? It's a stand mixer. I understand your point of view - now here's mine. I didn't exactly know this magnificent invention existed until probably last year - or a handmixer either. I have some old fashioned tendencies. I grew up making everything from hand - which means a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon.

    So imagine my surprise when I can make scone dough cake batter in like 5 minutes! This is the greatest thing ever! Not to mention that there's no fuss and muss with getting the mixing bowl in and out because it has this wonderful tilt head feature! Everything is easily cleaned. The only down side is that we live in a 751 square foot apartment, so counter space is limited, which means that I can't leave this beauty on the counter, and it doesn't fit in a cabinet because the shelving is not tall enough to accomodate it. But let's be serious, that's the flaw of the apartment design, not the KitchenAid. And not only is it great for just mixing things - it has a wide variety of attachments so that you can make homemade pasta, sausage, ice cream and you can even juice fruits! We don't have any of the attachments yet, but also - our kitchen isn't quite accomodating. But no worries, Lord willing we'll have a bigger kitchen one day - and hey, we'll need it if we're going to have 5 children!


*I may have accidentally used my stand mixer to make our scones. Sacreligious, I know. But I'm glad you're forgiving Mommie!
