Need FReeper advice: KitchenAid Mixmaster What attachments do you NEED?
Posted on 12/11/2006 7:03:31 PM PST by Pukin Dog
Okay, here it is:
Girlfriend is a budding pastry chef, who made a subtle hint yesterday about wanting a Mixmaster. I'm thinking "thats no big deal, what the hell?" So, I go up to Amazon, and theres all these colors, and all these freakin attachments, and DAMN that thing is expensive!! I thought I was going to get away cheap on this deal, ya know?
So, you owners of these things, what is so great about them anyway, and what attachments should I buy with the thing, and what freaking COLOR and, and, and, by the time I'm ready to buy, should I just give her the cash?
Why is this thing so much more expensive then the other brands? Does food taste better with this thing? Is this some female status symbol or something? I could buy a lot of man stuff with that money, so ladies, tell me what's so great about this sucker, before I get her a gift certificate instead!

Seriously?
The grinder is the attachment I use more than the mixer.

Get her the KitchenAid Artisan, it's worth the extra cash.
At the bare minimum, she'll need the whisk, the flat beater, and the dough hook.
Trust me, you're doing the right thing. I got one for Christmas last year, and it's worth the price. Plus it comes with a nifty little cookbook. Demand the cinnamon rolls!
Oh, and get her a baking stone, too. They're like $20, and really improve the taste of everything, from pizza crusts to cookies.

Get the juicer. It's one of the cheaper attachments and it works well.

I have the one pictured and it is a beauty. That said, if I were you, I wouldn't even TRY to go near choosing a color. There is no explaining color.
As for attachments, just go with what comes with it. After GF uses it a couple of times, she'll know what else she wants (if anything).
That said, why don't you go buy a pretty mixing bowl, some wooden spoons and spatulas, maybe some decorating gadgets, and guss it all up real nice with a gift card for the Kitchenaid inside. Or some kind of cool cake pan---you get the idea.
