Kitchen Mixers available in the market
With all the varieties of kitchen mixers available for the homemaker to choose from, how do we decide on the type to purchase. Will it be a kitchen mixer for easy mixing or one for a lot of heavy baking, a hand held mixer, or a heavy stand mixer?
A good reliable hand held kitchen mixer can range anywhere from $40.00 up to $70.00 depending on the speeds and watts offered. The same holds true with stand mixers, which range in price from $110.00 up to $350.00 for a heavy duty professional kitchen mixer.
Hand held kitchen mixers are lightweight and if you get a good one, it will perform most of the same tasks for a fraction of the cost of a large stand kitchen mixer. Also, the hand held mixer does not take up space on your counter top. Some of these small kitchen mixers have automatic sensors, which will adjust the machine’s power by the weight of the ingredients. There are also kitchen mixers with a swivel cord which makes it easier for a left-handed cook.
Stand kitchen mixers are heavier and more durable than a hand held mixer. The average weight of these machines is between 23 and 26 pounds. One of the most popular and best known stand mixer is the KitchenAid Artisan which is a staple on most bridal registries. It comes in a variety of colors and offers a larger five quart stainless steel bowl. Most stand kitchen mixers offer a beater, a dough hook and a wire whisk. Some also have a splatter shield and pouring chute such as the KitchenAid mixer for adding ingredients while the mixer is still turned on. If you plan to keep your stand mixer on your counter, keep in mind the height of this appliance. If you are planning to store your mixer in a pantry or cabinet, you may want a light model.
For any home that does baking or any type of mixing, a stand or hand held kitchen mixer is a must. So check out a few of the mixers I have to offer by clicking on one of the mixers I have shown below now.
