I lasted four years before I purchased one that runs 220v. I enjoy life more when I have one in my kitchen. I recommend upgrading to the glass bowl - it makes everything just a bit more fun!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946419377693818990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-52487851151091545952021-03-16T20:48:09.547-05:002021-03-16T20:48:09.547-05:00Mine sits proudly on my counter just waiting to mi...Mine sits proudly on my counter just waiting to mix up cookie batter.

I remember my mother-in-law making pesto, chopping parley with a double mezzaluna for 15 minutes and making pasta by hand, cutting it by hand, making ravioli freestyle with no fancy molds. Julia Child making all that glorious food with few or no gadgets in a tiny oven. <br /><br />The Kitchenaid is gorgeous as are the pinwheels.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682070791854744446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-20826131447770920212021-03-16T14:22:04.228-05:002021-03-16T14:22:04.228-05:00The KitchenAid is a fine mixer.

They have a catalog to pick from and I decided that I was going to try baking when I retired. It is a very relaxing endeavor and I'm getting fairly good at it. My granddaughter asked me to bake her a cake last year for her 10th birthday. The only downside to the mixer is it's weight. So I built a little "garage" to store it on our kitchen counter so that I or my wife can slide it into position when we want to use it.StanPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565931744701836873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-34895763373749272522021-03-16T14:13:49.846-05:002021-03-16T14:13:49.846-05:00We received our Kitchenaid as a wedding gift 25 ye...We received our Kitchenaid as a wedding gift 25 years ago. For 10 years or so my husband made and sold mini gingerbread houses. That mixer cranked out literally hundreds of batches of the dough and royal icing without fail, one year alone he made over 500 houses. I can't even guess at how many cookies and breads I've made over the years with our Kitchenaid, and it still looks and runs like new. That is one piece of equipment that is worth the money.

An "elite" baker would even use one. <br />NikkiDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226032148784322997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-79797259040607943082021-03-16T11:09:23.381-05:002021-03-16T11:09:23.381-05:00My mother had one of those classic black-and-white...My mother had one of those classic black-and-white Sunbeam Mixmasters from the early Fifties. My kid sister always got to "lick the beaters" when it was used. It had all the accessories...even a juicer. I loved watching the oranges become orange juice, which would then pour out of a spout and into a shiny white bowl. <br /><br />My mother used her Mixmaster for over fifty years. When she moved back North from Florida, and into a senior apartment building, it still worked. So she donated it, along with everything else in her kitchen, to an outfit down there that specializes in the recycling of kitchen equipment. I'm sure somebody snatched it up almost immediately.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-14597156850293014542021-03-16T10:23:13.932-05:002021-03-16T10:23:13.932-05:00Good work, both of you.

Seems to me that at least half the fun in baking is in grasping, squeezing, pummeling the dough. Of course, if you're making bread (or cookies) for the masses, I guess you'd need a mechanical device, but for the elite, manual is the way to go, in my opinion.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-44759967950027607152021-03-16T08:47:21.526-05:002021-03-16T08:47:21.526-05:00Hey buddy, you need my mailing address for the ext...Hey buddy, you need my mailing address for the extra pinwheels?heydavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509102502417886790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-52508483977498058172021-03-16T08:23:11.815-05:002021-03-16T08:23:11.815-05:00Stuff the grand kids, I'll be buried with my K...Stuff the grand kids, I'll be buried with my Kitchenaid.LBSTGMGRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738370789147394125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-72229047478332711472021-03-16T07:57:48.116-05:002021-03-16T07:57:48.116-05:00BravissimoBravissimoDennis Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936110563379328219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-43945104531523525112021-03-16T06:05:14.781-05:002021-03-16T06:05:14.781-05:00Congratulations - a wise decision.
