So I now have a Kitchenmaid mixer. What now?

[sbj405]

I finally got one and well, I'm at a loss for what to use it for. I guess because I've lived without it so long. So help me out, what do you use yours for? No room on the counter, so mine will only get lugged out if there's a purpose.

1. Bake Bread

Make your own butter. Make cakes. I love mine to death. It's cobalt blue. What color is yours?

[sbj405]

10. Mine is white.

My mom works in retail and got a really good deal, so I couldn't be too picky over color. I'm not much of a sweets person, but maybe I will become one.

2. ...give it to me? :)

Kidding! But I *have* been dying to get one of those for a very long time. I'll keep making due with my trusty little hand mixer. :hi:

3. Get thee to the Cooking and Baking group

I hardly ever post there, but I read the best threads on all kinds of stuff. Happy mixing! :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Cheesecake! Bread, pasta, cookies, scallion cream cheese for bagels.

All sorts of stuff!!

5. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CAPITALS?

DID YOUR CAPS LOCK BREAK FROM OVERUSE? :hi: :hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. I was only go do it for a day.

I hate all caps.

[sbj405]

8. Hadn't thought of pasta. That's probably pretty easy, too.

But then again, cheesecake - :P

11. I use mine for everything. I mix meatloaf with it, bread dough,

cream cheese for cheesecake, etc. I LOVE it.

12. Paint your kitchen a crazy new color and trade in it for a new bold matching colored one

:hide:

13. A terrific doorstop, absolutely unmovable

and can crack a shin like nothing else.

14. I've been begging for one of those for years

I bake lots of pies and cookies over the holidays, and my wrists would dearly love a Kitchenaid. I think you should regift it...to me. :D

[Sanity Claws]

15. Bake me a cake!

I'll have an angel food cake with sliced strawberries, please.

[jpgray]

16. Cake, bread, pizza, pasta, etc.

:o I love my mixer.

[Critters2]

17. Does it have a dough hook? You can make great bread! nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I use the meat grinder a lot...

A lot of times I can buy a nice lean bottom round roast for half the cost of lean ground beef. I just chop it into cubes and run it through the grinder. It's worth the little bit of effort.

Besides that, I use it for cakes, whipped potatoes, and bread dough. :hi:

19. cookie dough, cakes, breads

Gave one to Mrs wain 30 years ago. More than I could afford then. Still going strong. It's the best you can buy.

Kitchenaid originally made professional mixers, way before dishwashers and other appliances. The best restaurant kitchens have big, commercial Kitchenaid mixers,

Congratulations! You have wonderful machine.

:)
