Anyone has Kitchenaid stand mixer

KitchenAid mixers last forever. I have had the same one (my only one) for over 30 years and it works just like new. I also have my mom's that is older than that and same thing....just like new. Just remember it is more powerful than regular mixers so adjust your times to shorter mix times. Be careful not to overwhip heavy cream...one example.

I also have a lot of the attachments including veg slicer and grater, meat grinder, food mill. These are very handy if you are processing large quantities of food for a big dinner or for freezing and canning. I use the food mill every year when making applesauce. You just cook the quartered apples and run through the food mill and all the seeds and skins are separated out. I also have the pasta plates that go with the meat grinder but they are a pain and now they have the roller attachment for pasta which I bet is much better.

I used to make loaf bread a lot and you can knead, rise twice and cook two loaves in a little over two hours so you can actually do it quicker and larger quantity than with a bread machine. For chapati dough I use the paddle not the hook.

Have fun cooking!
