Stand Mixers are a versatile kitchen appliance. You can use them for multiple tasks, with mixing baking ingredients one of the most popular uses.
What Size Stand Mixer Do I Need?
I use the 5-quart stand mixer. I find the size perfect for the tasks I use it for, like mixing filling for Sweet Potato Pie or awesome Homemade Pork Tamales. The 5-quart bowl is just the right size.
Let’s look at it in batches of cookies. My mixer yields about 9 dozen cookies (and 4 loaves of bread and 7 pounds of mashed potatoes for those big holiday get-togethers), while the 4.5-quart mixer yields 7 dozen cookies. The 3.5 quart mixer yields 5 dozen and the 6 quart, 13 dozen cookies. These numbers kind of give you an idea of the bowl capacity and what the mixer can do
Tips on How to Use a Stand Mixer
Are you looking for a few tips and tricks for using your stand mixer?
Read the manual: Sure, some think reading the manual is a time-waster. But it’s an important (and helpful!) thing to do. You want to know every fine detail about your new mixer. The manual will let you know how much flour your bowl can handle at once, how to use the attachments, and good-to-know info like that.
Start on low speed: Always begin a task on low speed and work your way up to high. This helps against spattering ingredients all over the kitchen!
Don’t scrape while mixing: This is tempting, but really not a good idea. Just one slip of the spatula, and you can bend the beaters out of shape.
Adjust the beater: This is one of the reasons to read the manual. You’ll learn how to adjust the beater so it mixes well and does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
Tighten the hinge: This isn’t always necessary, but if the head of the mixer starts to shift and shake, just turn the mixer on its side and tighten the pin (the manual, my friends, will show you how).
Spin the beaters: Once your mixture is combined, lift the beaters just a little with the mixer on low and then high, to spin off the mixture and reduce waste.
Use a towel: Use a towel to help prevent ingredients from flying out of the bowl in the event you turn it on high. Flour, for example, poofs out of the bowl and goes everywhere. Just lay a clean kitchen towel over the bowl and use it to your advantage!
