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!

When I first moved to the small town I now live in I bought the Pampered Chef pizza stone. Since I'd never had anything like it before, I followed all of the direction to a T in order to properly prepare the thing to actually cook a pizza on. The first time I cooked a pizza on it, it cracked into alot of little pieces in my oven after about 7 minutes.
I called the local rep and was told I had to return it directly to Pampered Chef. Unfortunately, the same day I was getting it prepared and then later cooking on it, was trash day and the garbage had already been picked up. The trash people picked up my shattered stone on the next trash day.
If you'll FReepmail me you're website, I'll buy another one and once I get it here I'll consult you about exactly how I should go about preparing it for cooking. I love the idea of it and really want to try again.

Couldn't tell you, but if you hold the dough hook and pull your sleeve over the base, you can chase the GF around the kitchen shouting ARRRRR! ARRRRR!

No way, a clam pizza ith white sauce & mozzerella is really awesome. It's something you really should try.
Then again, I have a clamming license, and live in one of only 3 towns allowed to ship clams for export without any government inpection. I love clams.
Ever had clams for breakfast? Clam omelets are great. i like lobster omelets, but king crab omelets are the best.

Hahahaha, yep. However, if I'm finding them more annoying than usual, I may watch them try to gag down artichoke hearts just for the enjoyment factor.

Clam omelets are great.They're a bit scarce out here, can you substitute horned toads?
To: Sally'sConcerns; ShadowDancer
I'd love to help, but let me refer you to ShadowDancer...she's the Pampered Chef consultant. :-)
I believe I had to bake my stone and let it cool once or twice before I started using it, to sort of season it... Perhaps that's why yours broke?

I'm sorry, but I believe that nothing meaty belongs on a pizza that did not once walk the earth. (anchovies excepted)Never had clams for breakfast, but I enjoy Salmon with my eggs.

I'll freepmail you my site. Seasoning is necessary when you first start using your stone but the lack of doing so wouldn't make it crack like that. Sounds like you got a defective piece that had a hairline crack in it already. They do want the item back for replacement but if that happpens to you again, let me know because I don't think you should have had to end up with nothing.
As far as seasoning the stone goes, the best thing you can do for that is to cook something with a greasy value to it on it for the first few times. Crescent rolls or the like, anything with a buttery base. The objective is to make it non-stick and it will be after doing that for a few. The more you use it, the darker it gets and the darker it gets the more seasoned it is. Basically, the uglier it is, the better it is.

It's good when you can find a practical use for things.
