Searching for a New Kitchen Mixer

This month my trusty mixer that I have used to make homemade bread and other delicious treats decided it was tired and quit on me. This was a sad day. You never know how much you miss one of your kitchen appliances until they no longer work. Now it was time to save my money and decide what I was going to replace this much used appliance with.

I started to do lots of research on which mixer is the best. I wanted something that would hold up. I needed one that could do some heavy-duty mixing. I really enjoy making homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, and other yummy things that can really give a mixer a good work out. I needed something with a strong motor, and a good bread hook on it. I spoke with a lot of my friends and asked what they used.

My new mixer – great for making bread and other great recipes.

I asked what was their favorite thing about their mixer and what they didn’t like. I also asked how long they have owned it and how often they use it. I also wondered what kind of things they made with it. And then I made my decision. I decided to get a Bosch. Two of my friends had used their Bosch for almost 30 years. I knew they had used their mixers a lot,   They have often brought me a loaf of homemade bread. All of the answers and the research is what helped me decide.

I’m so excited to unpack my mixer and start making something.

I am so excited to start making a lot of different treats. There are only 2 of us at home and we can only eat so much….. so I guess I will make a little at a time.

I did make a german chocolate cake. I know this is a very simple thing to make and not much of a workout for the mixer, but I at least got to use it!

I loved the beaters. They worked very well at mixing the cake mix with no other attachments. Then I decided to put the bowl scraper onto the beaters I was even more impressed! I loved it!! With the bowl scrapers on there was no powder cake mix on the sides or on the bottom of the bowl that you sometimes get with other mixers.

I like the big bowl.   It will give me lots of room to mix large amounts of dough. The bowl has a really nice ring that snaps on around it and a cover that comes off easily so you can add more ingredients.  It is really easy for cleanup.

I can’t wait to make the next thing in my new Bosch, but first we have to finish the German Chocolate cake. I may need to invite friends over just so I can use my Bosh again.

My husband said, “You know you are so spoiled.”   I smiled at him and said, “Yes, I know!”  (And it is his fault!)
