Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSM90PS 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Onyx BlackCustomer Review: How did I live without it? Summary: 5 Stars
I used to hate to cook. And it wasn't until recently that I discovered why--I never had the right tools! One especially good example is pizza: I love it, but always thought it was too much trouble. Not any more. I make pizza weekly now, and it takes me about the same amount of time it used to take me to make Hamburger Helper (back in the old days). I dissolve the yeast, dump in the other crust ingredients, and voila! In about three minutes I have pizza dough, already kneaded and ready to rise. Cakes and homemade frostings are a breeze. I never liked the canned frostings anyway, and the manufacturers stopped making frosting mixes, so for a long time my family got only bakery cakes. Now I can whip one up, and later make homemade frosting for it, in nothing flat. The bowl and attachements (except for the metal whip) go right into the dishwasher. Nothing could be easier. And now when friends and family ask about my cakes, I can tell them I made them from scratch. This is well worth the investment--even if you don't consider yourself a "serious" cook. This will make you look like one!
Description of KitchenAid KSM90PS 300-Watt Ultra Power 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer, Onyx BlackKitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 300 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim
