Tell me about your KitchenAid Mixer

[angelaartsstudent]

So...what's it like?

If I am a non-baker, is it so good that it will transform me?

Basically, I don't bake becuase of all the steps involved, and my tiny kitchen...but I'd like to.

What do you love about yours, and what is it capable of doing?

Oh, and, importantly, how much space does it take up in the cupboard?

Thanks ladies.

I love baking/cooking and when I got mine it made me want to bake even more, still does everytime I look at it lol.
What do I love about it, gosh everything.... the colours they come in, allthe different attachments, but most of all, I love that it does it's thing without me having to hang onto it. I have the ice cream bowl and it is amazing.
As for space in the cupboard, I personally think it's a display on the bench item as it is very very heavy and not something you'd want to keep lifting out of a cupboard.
HTH

Thank you! What's it like for bread doughs? Does the dough hook eliminate the need to knead (haha)?

The dough hook is great, no kneading at all. I've made pizza dough a couple of times and it's turned out perfectly each time.
