After many months of eyeballing kitchenaid stand mixers, we finally picked one up. I love the ease of use. It makes mixing things so fast and easy, and I can churn out a batch of cookie dough in five minutes. It doesn't take very much room, which is nice because my kitchen has limited counter space. The 5 quart bowl is perfectly sized- I have not felt limited in my recipes at all. My only complaint is that the motor sometimes grinds towards the end of the recipe. Not sure if this is normal or not, so I'm keeping an eye on it while I still have it under warranty.
I was given the kitchen aid stand mixer as a gift after asking for it for the holidays and my birthday for years! It's everything I wanted. I've made countless delicious meals and I've even began eating healthier. Next on my wish list is a great blender to make smoothies.
I bought a Kitchen Aid gas/electric range and I couldn't be happier! This is a real workhorse! I bake a lot of bread and do quite a bit of canning in the summer. The electric oven does an excellent job for baking, I can depend on the temps to be true. I like the gas stove top for quick temp changes and the grates are the same height over the top which make moving heavy pots around easier. It looks nice and is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. We are pals!!!!
I've had this grain mill for years and have used it primarily to grind wheat berries to make flour. It's excellent and easy to use. It's adjustable so you can vary the texture of your flour. You can only grind one hopper at a time, however.If you do not let the KitchenAid to "cool" before grinding another hopperful (I'd guess about 10 minutes) it can damage the motor of the mixer. I learned this the hard way!
