Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

“a necessity , sous chef !”

“I was very fortunate to receive a Kitchen Aid mixer as a wedding gift. I use every time I bake, even if the recipe says to stir by hand. It just makes the process so much easier!”

“Cookies, pizza dough, banana bread muffins... the world's your oyster with this thing, and these mixers last forever”

“When I turned 28 and still didn't have a serious boyfriend, my parents gave me this mixer that they had thought they might one day get me for a wedding present. Yes, old-school on all counts but this mixer has kept me company throughout my entire adult life, giving me priceless entertainment, nourishment, and fun. I use it to make bread dough, naan dough, my nana's rolls for the holidays, cookies, cakes, and pasta (using an additional attachment). It is a power tool in the kitchen and my faithful baking companion. I now have a husband and kids who all love to use it with me now. Worth every penny! Here are just a few recipes I use this for: My Right Now Chocolate Chip Cookies Half Whole Wheat Bread Meera Sodha's Naan Recipe (NYT, unlocked)”
