Kitchenaid Mixer Bowl Lift

By ari On June 22, 2010 No Comments

Question about KitchenAid stand mixers.....?

Which is better: tilt-head or lift-bowl? Any clear advantages/disadvantages for either one? Also, any opinions on wattage? Anybody that I have spoken to says that 325 watts is plenty. The Artisan tilt-head model that I am considering has 325 watts while the Professional lift-bowl that I am also considering has 450 watts. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you so much.

Sorry to my contacts or anybody else who sees this question more than once - I wasn't sure which category to post in.

I have a Kitchen-Aid Artisan tilt-head 300 watt model.

The only disadvantage I have had with my Kitchen-Aid Artisan is that sometimes I make small recipes (such as half a batch of cookies) and the bowl is rather too small for those small recipes.

I would recommend the tilt-head model for anyone. It's so nice to turn the mixer on and walk away from it to gather other ingredients. I used to balance my mixer on the edge of my mixing bowl with disastrous results.

Where can I buy KitchenAid mixers in Australia?

Specifically the Professional 600 6 Qt. stand mixer series.

I've always wanted one too!

I looked up the KitchenAid mixers for Australia and it doesn't seem to list the Professional 600 series?

You mya be out of luck. I have see the Artisan series at either Myer or David Jones though

If you want to have the full range of all the cooking/baking/food prep possibilities, then choose the 450 watts. This will allow you to handle the stiffest bread doughs and cookie batters, grinding large quantities of meat, etc.

This would be the only benefit in choosing the Pro model with extra wattage. Otherwise, the Artisan, with 325 watts, would be more than sufficient for your needs.

Tilt-head or lift-bowl? That's more of a personal decision, rather than a performance one. I prefer tilt-head, as I find it annoying to have to unlock bowls just so I can take a quick look and see what's going on.

The suggestion of buying the Pro just for the sake of having the maximum power is misguided, I think. More is not more if you don't use it; it's just a waste.

Kitchenaid Mixer Attachments Bowl

Kitchenaid stand mixer accessory...?

I have seen a flat mixer attachment for a kitchenaid stand mixer with a rubber scraper attached to it that it scrapes the bowl while it mixes. I would really like to get one for my mom, but I can't find one anywhere. And yes, I have already searched on line, so I am looking for more specific suggestions please. Also, I do not believe that it was actually made by Kitchenaid, and the price was around $25. Thank you for your help.

This accessory manufactured by Beater Blade is what you may be looking for: http://www.amazon.com/Design-Beater-KitchenAid-6-Quart-Mixers/dp/B0015TMI28/ref=pd_sbs_k_7
It's a flat mixer attachment that scrapes the sides of the bowl as it mixes.
