MY MIXERS

I just got an email asking me about mixers, the subject i believe is an open ended topic, no definite answer, what you get is what you end up with. Once you buy that mixer, you are stuck with it, the best thing to do is just try to learn how to operate the mixer the most efficient way possible despite its many flaws...If you are one of the "unlucky few", it does not mean you have to rid of the mixer and buy a new one. There will always be a way to run that mixer, still get some good mileage out of it while you save "again" hopefully for a better mixer. My first mixer, a Kitchen Aid 4.5 quart which i used to make cookies, cakes and icings. Nope, no yeast dough ever made it through this one. I tried to mix twice, an ensaimada dough and a pullman/loaf bread but it took 45 minutes plus 3 chilling times to finish the job. If you will use a sponge or starter in your yeast doughs, you might be able to get a good batch of around 300-400 grams of flour with this model. Shown...
