The KitchenAid Artisan Mixer is a great stand mixer, but does it belong in your kitchen? It can be difficult to know when you are simply reading product descriptions and looking at pictures. So how do you know for sure?
Let’s get down to business first!
What will you be using the mixer for and how large will your batches be? The KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer has a 5 quart bowl and a 325 Watt motor. It can handle up to 9 cups of all-purpose flour. I made chocolate chip cookies today (yum!) and, according to the recipe, this means the Artisan could have easily handled a triple batch. The Artisan has a tilt-head design which makes it easy to get to the beaters and the ingredients in the bowl. If you like the bowl-lift design, check out the KitchenAid Pro 500 Mixer.
Want easy clean-up? The dough hook and flat beater are dishwasher safe and the Artisan Mixer can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Ok, now to the fun!
Do you want to accessorize your kitchen? Is it important to you that your mixer match your walls and decor? Do colors make your life more fun? This stand mixer comes in over 20 shades. You can see all the colors of the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer and vote on your favorite. If you like metallic finishes, the KitchenAid Artisan Chrome Mixer would be for you.
