11/11/2023 0 Comments Kitchenaid whisk attachmentI’m very disappointed with the company, but I would like the opportunity to get the upgraded whip. I need whip so that I can use my stand mixer for all the functions it is made for. They will happily sell this item to us for an extra expense, this item that certainly should have been included with the original package. Yet, KitchenAid has a replacement whip which can be washed in a dishwasher without turning black, destroying food and staining hands. I paid nearly $400.00 for my appliance and would not expect to have to hand wash this piece, crazy!!! The whip however, after it was used and washed, is unusable. Fortunately, my paddle and dough hook are coated with a porcelain like coated. The grinder is relatively quiet-about the same as a food processor and quieter than a coffee grinder-but it was still loud enough to perturb my cat.Very disappointed in KitchenAid! I LOVE my KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer! I use it several times a week, BUT and it’s a big BUT.I’m very disappointed in the cheap whip that is included with the mixer along with the paddle and dough hook. I gave the stand mixer the rest of the night off. Stainless Steel Wire Whip for KitchenAid 4.5 and 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixers Incorporate air into mixtures to create fluffy meringues, creamy sauces and light-as-air whipped cream with the wire whip Made with 100 stainless steel for quick clean up and long lasting durability. This seemingly small adjustment made a big difference speed wise, but it still took about 40 minutes total to grind 1 1/2 pounds of farro flour. But I didn’t have all night: I bumped the knob over to the third-finest setting and let it run again. (Admittedly, farro is a pretty hard grain I suspect that something like oats would have ground up more quickly.) That said, the flour was beautiful: uniform and incredibly fine. I turned the machine off to give it a break and ward off overheating. Reader, it took ten minutes to grind about a half cup of farro. Versatility rating: Multitasker Good for: The very occasional juicerīecause I was going to use this flour to make pasta, I started the mill at the finest setting, poured my farro into the hopper (it held about a pound of it), and let it rip (you run it at the stand mixer’s highest speed). Take the hard work out of pancake batters, whipped cream. If you’re really into juice, you should probably get one of those. This KitchenAid whisk attachment is designed to fit your 4.3 L, 4,7 L or 4.8 L tilt-head stand mixer. I’m not convinced, with all the various pieces, that this is more space-efficient than a separate appliance, and it’s certainly not as powerful as a dedicated juicer. Was this my user error or the machine? I’m not sure. Looking through the manual for guidance, I found a note advising that the spout should be pushed in (“open”) for low-pulp juices this helped, but the juice was still pretty pulpy. I did this, and it caused a clog so major I had to stop midway through juicing, disassemble, clean, and reassemble before continuing. The quick-start manual tells you to pull the juicer’s pulp spout out before juicing this is, somewhat counterintuitively, the “closed” position (pushing the spout in is “open”). That’s sort of where the efficiency stopped, unfortunately: The blade seemed to struggle with the combination of textures I fed it-leafy, fibrous, and long celery dense and fibrous ginger juicy, skin-on apple and super-ripe, pulpy pineapple. The juicer attachment (which you can also use for making apple or tomato sauce) comes in a big box, and unpacking it, you’ll find as I did that there are lots of bits and pieces: basket inserts for your preferred pulp level, a two-in-one plunger system for pushing your fruit down the feed tube, an auger/blade combo that breaks up fruit and grinds it against your chosen basket insert, pitchers for catching juice and pulp… It was all a little intimidating coming out of the box, but it assembled efficiently and compactly. This might have been the attachment I was most excited to try-I love a fancy juice, and there’s something so appealing about making one at home.
