Stand mixer usage
There are a lot of uses for stand mixers and if you have been using a hand mixer for some time you may not understand all of the functions available on a stand mixer. These machines can be used to make dozens of cookies at a time, a loaf of bread, pates and dips, and many different kinds of spreads. Whip up a batch of bread dough or mashed potatoes easily with this machine.
Stand mixer attachments
Some stand mixer models offer an attachment to make pasta and if you have never tasted homemade noodles before, you’re in for a treat. This pasta can be added to stews or soups or used along with your favorite recipe for spaghetti sauce. Some attachments have settings to make noodles as thin as fettuccine and they are easy to clean and simple to use.

These are not all the uses for a stand mixer, however. With a grinder attachment for meats, you can make your own ground beef for a freshness that cannot be beaten. With a sausage stuffer, you can make homemade sausages and with the mixer for ice cream you can try out new and exotic ice cream flavors. Juice can be made with a juicing attachment, some mixers come with their own can openers and there are other attachments available to perform other functions. In most cases, you are only limited by your imagination and your creativity.
If you love baking, a stand mixer will be there for you during all the holidays and special occasions. Use it to make birthday cakes, pie crusts, cookies, cake fillings, puddings, pies fillings, cinnamon rolls, pasta dough, and a variety of other recipes.
No more trouble of mixing
Stand mixers also reduce the mess in the kitchen since there is less splattering than you would get with a hand mixer. It can be quite a frustration having to clean up the floor and the countertop after having to mix ingredients together by hand or with a hand mixer. It is also unpleasant to go through the trouble of mixing things only to find out that the cake mix wasn’t completely blended or the bread doesn’t rise like it’s supposed to in the oven.
You’ll get consistent blending with the stand mixer so that the final results are perfect every time. If you’re looking for something that will save you time and energy in the kitchen, you should be looking at stand mixers. They are reliable machines that you’ll be able to count on for many years to come.
