OK, so the mixer you received as a wedding gift years ago has finally died. So now what? Do you replace it with another hand mixer or do you splurge and get a Kitchenaid Artisan Mixer?
Well, it all depends on how much you cook, what you cook and even how much you enjoy cooking. Keep in mind also that a stand mixer will take up much more counter space or storage space than a hand mixer.
Why get an artisan mixer? Well, they are great for your larger jobs plus the stand mixer has several different attachments available. For example, with the stand mixer you can get attachments that will mix bread dough, grind meat, make your own juice and even make homemade ice cream. Not to mention that these mixers come in all different colors to choose. White, Green, Red Blue, Stainless Steel, Chrome, you name it. You will have no problem with coordinating your kitchen decor.
Another great feature of a stand mixer is that you do not have to hold it with either hand. This will allow you to get other ingredients or prep some other job while the stand mixer is doing its job. Need to grab an item from the refrigerator or check on something in the oven, no problem.
Now if you just do not see the need to spend the money on a stand mixer, kitchenaid has a very good hand mixer that just may fit your needs. If most of your cooking jobs involve making small quantities of a mixture such as a store bought mix, then a hand mixer will be just fine.
The bottom line is this. If you are a person who enjoys baking, likes making your own breads or even pasta and enjoys entertaining large gatherings during holidays, the stand mixer is the one you want.
If you only intend to break out the mixer to whip up a cake mix or beat some eggs or cream, you can get away with purchasing a hand mixer.
Whichever mixer you choose you know you can't go wrong with purchasing a kitchenaid mixer. The name Kitchenaid has come to represent quality.
