Kitchenaid Pink Hand Mixer
Food processor bowl with 4 liters, K-beater, dough hook and balloon whisk. Full metal housing. Price from 150 euros. Available in eg red, cream, white, pink, orange and chrome. Power: 400 Watts. Nickname: Kennie. First, a big advantage of course that you not use a hand mixer in your hand is. Especially since both sponge and butter cream blended to be long, this is definitely a plus. Compared with cheap, plastic hand mixers with a standard and join the fun he is much more powerful, and a lot stronger, he has a metal casing, and the dough hooks are very robust . . He can be quite small amounts beating well, because the bowl is narrow at the bottom. And he pretty well along the edges and bottom (sometimes it is necessary mixing hard butter at a time, scraping in between, but that is not even necessary biscuitmix). He is quieter than the hand mixer that I had before, all you have to raise your voice when you are standing next to it, he makes a nice humming sound, and certainly in a separate kitchen, you do not suffer from noise. Cleaning, I also pretty easy (no dishwasher). There are not many corners or grooves in, except the balloon whisk, which is more difficult, but also fine if you clean up immediately after mixing with warm soapy water as a sponge and washing up. And then, very important advantage: the price is of course good, if you compare him with his cousin but like a lot, Kitchenaid, is about half the price a good deal. Then you embark on a downside, because "Kennie" is so heavy that you did not so easy to use from a box can get. He does have a decent size, so he does need some space. But such a gem should also be evident, of course ?. Another disadvantage may be that there are (quite) some butter cream in the balloon whisk remains after mixing. What I do is first scrape the bowl is empty (with a scraper), and then restore again and just turn on the mixer. Then he hits everything from the whisk in the bowl, and then it tricks you with your scraper, so nothing is wasted. As a downside, I do also like to mention the price, because all it is much cheaper than the KitchenAid, it's a whole issue to a mixer. But worth every penny especially for the more active bakers. . . .
