KitchenAid Classic Series 4.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, White
KitchenAid Classic is a stand mixer manufactured by KitchenAid, however, with just 10 minutes of kneading, the dough was smooth and elastic, which is precisely the texture you need to make great homemade bread.
Design
This mixer manages to mix ingredients gently but thoroughly the chocolate chips we added at the top were equally distributed and not broken.
The attachments are where you get added value with this mixer since all the ten extra attachments that KitchenAid sells separately will work with this model. If you select to shop for more attachments besides people who accompany the machine, you’ll turn your stand mixer into a frozen dessert maker, pasta maker, food grinder, juicer and much more.
Features
The KitchenAid Classic Plus maybe a basic mixer with excellent performance and good versatility, which you’ll expand by purchasing extra KitchenAid attachments. The 4.5-quart bowl maybe a tad smaller than the KitchenAid Artisan’s 5-quart bowl, and this is often missing some extras that accompany other mixers sort of a splashguard.
If you have ever watched one of those prime-time cooking shows, you have likely noticed a KitchenAid mixer in the kitchen. They are the standard in the industry. Here are some things to consider when you are ready to ramp up your culinary experience.
KitchenAid mixers come with either a tilt-head or a lever that lifts your bowl up to the mixing attachment. The one that is best for you depends on how much space you have. The lift models tend to be taller and wider, therefore they require more counter space. But, they generally perform better than the tilt-head units, which can bounce when handling larger batches of dough.
One of the aspects of KitchenAid mixers that sets them apart from the competition is the array of optional attachments and accessories available. Most of the attachments work with any of the company’s stand mixers. Here are a few of the most popular accessories:
In 20 to 30 minutes, this attachment will make up to two quarts of gelato, sorbet, or ice cream. Stainless steel cutters and rollers produce six-inch sheets of pasta with eight thickness settings and can be cut for fettuccine, spaghetti, and more. Use this to grind dried bread, meat, vegetables, cheeses, firm fruit, and use it with the stuffer set to form a sausage. This attachment will shred, dice, julienne, and slice any vegetables, cheeses, and fruits.
