Do you have a KA 6 qt mixer? Xpost
Comments (1)I have the 610 from WS. It is loud. The pitch is a bit lower than the previous Artisan I had, but I make pizza dough every week on setting 2 for approx 10 minutes and it is loud enough to be annoying. Whipping egg whites on speed 10 is not louder, just different pitch, but still annoying. Works great though and much more robust than the Artisan model....See MoreKA mixer better way to make my bread?
Comments (12)This is the method I have used for many years when making bread dough in my Kitchenaid stand mixer. The source is Betsy Oppenneer's The Bread Book. Mixing and Kneading Bread in a Heavy Duty Electric Mixer 1.Put dry yeast and proofing water into mixer bowl; whisk, proof yeast. 2.Fit mixer paddle on. 3.Add rest of liquid ingredients (milk, eggs, butter) to the yeast/water. 4.Add half of the flour amount of the recipe and any other dry ingredients. 5.Turn mixer on medium speed (#4 on KA) and beat 2 minutes. 6.Reduce speed to low (#1) and add rest of flour ü cup at a time. 7.Remove paddle, scrape well. Attach dough hook. 8.Scrape down sides of bowl, turn speed to #2 and add more flour 1 TB at a time (dough will cling to hook then spread back to sides of bowl). 9.Increase speed to #4 and knead 5 minutes. At the end of this kneading time the dough should cling to the hook and clean the sides of the bowl. If not, add flour 1 TB at a time, until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl. 10.Remove the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, let rise per therecipe ��" or ��" turn out dough, knead by hand a few times, form into a ball, drizzle a little oil in the mixing bowl, put dough in, swirl in bowl and turn oiled side up, cover, let rise....See MoreWhere to store Kitchen Aid mixer
Comments (10)You would have to make sure you have enough headroom clearance on the stairs but my house has a bathroom with recessed cabinets over a stair landing so it's not unheard of. If you are going to have counter in front of the wall you are talking about it is going to be hard to pull the mixer out of storage because you will be reaching, not pulling straight on. If you don't use a stand mixer much have you given thought to using only a hand mixer? DH bought me the KA 9 speed Architect series mixer and it's very nice. I use my stand mixer at least once a week so mine is on the counter, space or no space. But if you only use yours infrequently maybe it's time to move on....See Moremy 'thrift store' KA stand mixer!!
Comments (17)Don't usually brag... but I will about some of my thrift store finds. A Cuisinart food processor, bought in hopes of just having an extra bowl, ended up being larger/stronger model... $8! LeCreueset square grill pan, blue enamel outside (NOT chips or cracks), non-enameled cast iron inside (tiniest bit of easily removable schmutz in ridges... $5! Cuisinart burr coffee grinder & ice cream maker (wish I always had ROOM in freezer for insert)... at website about $50 or more... at thrift store maybe $5 each. BRAND NEW KA digital (7 speed) hand mixer... $69.99 on box... $5 for me. Spend a HUGE amount (for me at least) on a BIG lot of Fiestaware at a yard sale. A dozen dinner plates, salad/sandwich plates, mugs, probably 20 bowls (soup/cereal) and a few extra items... $50. If an item looks CLEAN, barely/rarely used... in box with manuals... and CHEAP... I'm interested. Bought a bread machine at a yard sale... cuz never had on, was curious, and it was still TAPED in plastic in box. Used it for a while, got bored with it, cleaned it up REALLY well, and donated to one of favorite thrift stores. Like they say, one WOMAN'S trash is another WOMAN'S treasure!...See Morecelineike
