It's been over 2,5 years since i've purchased this mixer (caviar shade) and the only word i can tell about it - perfect! Oh, ok, 2 words - lifesaver!
I bake A LOT! Most of the time - daily. And this mixer serves me best. I don't even think of buying a bread machine - it kneads any type of bread perfectly - yeast, soda, sourdough. It makes perfect buttercreams of all kinds (silk vanilla from the Baking Illustrated, simple buttercream), wonderful whipped cream and all other sorts of cake icings, frostings and toppings.
Meat grinder attachment - perfect aswell! Here's the trick to grinding without clogging - cut your meat into strips 1/2-3/4in thick and put it into freezer for 1 hour. Slightly frozen meat is much esier to grind.
I recommend this mixer to all my baking and cooking friends! Is 5-quart enough? It was just twice during these years that i thought i might need a bigger bowl but still this machine managed to do everything great!Get more detail about KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red.
