Check out my new toy!

[KitchenWitch]

Same color as the photo even. I lurves the red!

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. How many attachments does it have?

[KitchenWitch]

3. Just the wisk, paddle and dough hooks

I plan on heavily accessorizing her though.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Hooks??

:scared:









I learn so much here...

[KitchenWitch]

8. Dough hook

[trof]

29. It's the 'Captain Hook' model.

;-)

[jmowreader]

42. Get another bowl and paddle. Paint them green.

Y'see, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer is the very best tool to use to mix small quantities of highly viscous fluids...specifically, tile setting compounds.

If you suddenly decide you want to change the ceramic tile backsplash to something of a sunnier color, whip up a batch of thinset in your KitchenAid and tile away.

My old boss bought a KitchenAid to mix printing ink in the day he bought the plant. Printing ink is about the consistency of axle grease, and it smells a lot like it. They ran that mixer for 25 years before it died--and it croaked because the city sent us a huge power surge when they were replacing our transformer.

[KitchenWitch]

44. Wow, that is an interesting idea

I think if I were going to get any tiling or backsplash done, I would likely hire a professional.

[GoneOffShore]

60. Are you going to Accesorize like this?

[SeattleGirl]

2. Aren't those great?

I got MrSG one (in dark blue) a few years ago, and he lurves is!

[KitchenWitch]

4. She is a beauty!

My son gave it to me as a birthday present. He picked the red. :7

If I were buying it for myself (which I probably never would have...another story indeed), I would have gotten either the red, or the cobalt blue. I love the primary colors.

[ruiner4u]

5. I sneer at you with envy...

Ive been wanting one of those for ever..

[KitchenWitch]

6. Me too!

My son rocks!

[ruiner4u]

9. Ive been wondering..

is the bread hook plastic, or metal with some kind of plastic/latexy kind of coating? Im kind of weary about the hook breaking

[KitchenWitch]

10. Metal with an enamel-like coating.

[Nicole]

11. Congrats!

You will love it even more as time goes by.

What I really love about them is the attachment hub never changes. Attachments made today will fit 50 year old mixers and old attachments fit the new mixers. Very cool!. :thumbsup:

[KitchenWitch]

13. That is tres cool!

I am trying to decide which attachment I should get first. The top three for me right now are:

1. The food grinder
2. The food slicer
3. The ice cream maker

If I had a spare $250, I would get all three.

[Nicole]

18. When you get ready to buy

[KitchenWitch]

19. Cool beans!

I already buy stuff from QVC!

[KitchenWitch]

20. OMG - QVC has the ice cream kit for $82.29

The Kitchenaid price is $99.99

BOOYA!

[Nicole]

23. Cool!

If you wait until they have Kitchen Aid as a TSV, they have other items on special then too. As I'm sure you already know.

Happy Shopping, mixing, chopping, slicing & dicing. :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. What a fabulous new toy, my dear KW!

I have one too, and even though I don't use it much, I love it!

Mine isn't such a cool color though......

But I still love it!

Congrats, sweetie! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

14. Thank you!

It is really cool!

:woohoo:

[Jamastiene]

15. I would like to have a nice 10 layer chocolate cake with

chocolate icing for my birthday. *hint, hint* :P :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

16. When is your birthday?

:7

[barb162]

17. Oh, I like it!

[KitchenWitch]

24. I am a lucky mama!

[barb162]

25. I have 2 hand mixers that I have had forever and probably wouldn't

be able to work one like you have. I am just so accustomed to standing there and doing the mixing. I keep hoping they break and they never break, so I never have an excuse to get a new model.

[Whoa_Nelly]

21. Lucky You! It's Beautiful!

All I got were these Suzy Homemaker gadgets. :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

22. Oh dear - THOSE are vintage!

:hi:

[trof]

26. You and Miz t. She got the red one too.

[SarahB]

27. We want one.

I want a pink one though and my husband is a bit :eyes: about that (especially when he'd probably be using it more). :D

[KitchenWitch]

53. Pink is nice.

I am just not a pastel person though. My son knows me pretty well. I like the blue one as well.

[merh]

28. I want one!!!

x(

I lurve it and that your son gave it to you, that just makes it more special, red, the color of love :hug:

I bought one of these on clearance



$25 bucks, couldn't pass it up. It's in storage, waiting on a kitchen. :silly:

[KitchenWitch]

46. I wish I could buy you a kitchen!

:hug:

[merh]

50. aww, ain't you the sweetest *smooch*

:hug:

can you bake a coconut cake using your new toy to mix things right?

me lurves coconut cakes and haven't made/had a homemade one in forever :9


my kitchen will happen soon, I just have to keep the faith & not give up.

:loveya:

[reyd reid reed]

30. I've got the blue one...

I love it....especially at Christmas. I want more bowls, though.

What did you make to break it in and can I have some?

[KitchenWitch]

37. Peanut butter cookies!

:9

[reyd reid reed]

38. Yum!!!

:9

It makes meringue so fast that you won't have time to go to the bathroom while you whip the whites. And it whips cream really fast, too.

[MissMillie]

31. I got a new toy too!

I was long overdue for a cell phone upgrade.

[KitchenWitch]

39. OOOH nice

That one is similar to mine - but I bet yours is either bluetooth or has video capabilities, mine just does stills.

[wildhorses]

32. you have NO idea how jealous i am OF you at this moment

in complete oppostion of how happy i am FOR you:)

[KitchenWitch]

40. I am very lucky.

[TommyO]

33. Very nice, KitchenWitch

Your Kitchen is very blessed this day.

I'll be getting one of these pretty soon, along with the food grinder attachment - I'm an omnivore and want to do my own ground meats and snausages.

[Connonym]

34. I'm in lust!

wow I love the red! I got mine second hand (in white blah) but if I had bought new it would definitely be red. You're a lucky KitchenWitch

[KitchenWitch]

45. I love the red

But I love primary colors and jewel tones.

[swimboy]

35. You will never regret it.

I was a little bit intimidated by mine at first, as well as superstitious (Well, Nannie's Pound Cake recipe just will not work if I use this powerful machine) but we understand each other now!

:thumbsup:

[crim son]

36. I'm jealous. I have a white one

but have always wanted the red. It's beautiful!

[texas1928]

41. How do you hold when you are lying...

Never mind.


:blush:


You need to get Flames on it like Alton's on Good Eats.

[KitchenWitch]

43. LOL

I like Alton's!

[Ptah]

47. The Daiquiri Whacker

http://www.gasblender.com/

[KitchenWitch]

[LaraMN]

49. Ohhhhh! I want one of those!

Almost as bad as my husband wants one.

:rofl:

Have FUN!

[KitchenWitch]

52. Well then, I think it would be a perfect reward for the end of the semester!

And all the crap you two have been through lately!

:hug:

[Q3JR4]

51. Oooh,

I'm so jealous!

[Wapsie B]

54. Not quite what I was thinking when I saw the thread title but......

[EstimatedProphet]

56. I've always wanted one of those!

So we used the arm in a stew. It was great!

[GoneOffShore]

I love the red.
