KitchenAidUSA Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer
The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer is constructed completely of metal and comes in 37 color choices to match any kitchen décor. If you are looking for power and perfection for all things cooking and baking, then look no further.
MORE POWER THAN EVER
It has a 325 watt motor, giving it enough power to handle heavy mixes, including bread dough. It has 10 speeds that range from a fast whip for whipping cream to a very slow mix for blending wet and dry ingredients. The pin holding the beater attachment spins in a counter clockwise direction while the beater itself moves in a clockwise direction. This double motion allows the beater to cover more of the surface area of the bowl, eliminating the need to rotate the bowl itself.
The head of this mixer tilts back to give better access to the bowl. There is also a locking mechanism while the head is in the down position, to ensure that the beater maintains proper contact with the bowl.
OUT OF THE BOX
It comes with a 5 quart bowl made of stainless steel; enough space for a double batch of cookies. The handle of the bowl is designed with a special contour to fit the hand comfortably, making lifting a bowl full of ingredients easier on the wrist.
The unit comes with a detachable pouring shield. This shield is designed to make pouring batter from the bowl spill-proof. It also acts as a funnel when adding ingredients to the bowl with the mixer head in the down position, and a splatter shield when the mixer is in motion.
Three beaters come packaged with this unit: the flat paddle beater is used for mixing batters of medium to heavy density, the wire whisk is for lighter weight tasks and whipping air into a mixture, and the dough hook is used for both the mixing and kneading of bread dough. The flat beater and dough hook are coated and dishwasher safe.
The Artisan 5 quart mixer is designed to work with other KitchenAid stand mixer attachments that are sold separately. The head of this mixer contains what KitchenAid refers to as a power hub. This power hub uses the mixer’s motor to power an assortment of optional attachments that include items such as pasta rollers and presses, a slicer/shredder, and even an all metal grain mill. Extra stainless mixing bowls and replacement beaters are available.
