5 Tips and Tricks For Your Kitchenaid

[@bryceoleski5680]

Thank you for making my life easier. I’m a single Dad and am trying to learn to make my house a home.

[@martinmade08]

You are very welcome. It’s hard to do that even with a spouse, let alone single!

[@ivanp3233]

5 years later still very helpful! The storage on the inside of the cabinet doors is brilliant !

[@martinmade08]

@@ivanp3233 Thank you so much! It’s been so helpful to me as well.

[@rosemaryflorio1427]

Wow, great tips for me. I just, finally, bought myself a KitchenAid at 66 years old. As I was forced to retire a bit early last April, I have too much energy for sitting. I began baking from scratch & even preparing meatloaf ingredients. I've gotta make my own butter & purchase a shredded and those hooks are so convenient. So happy you younger people have the privilege of owning this very important kitchen appliance. 👏 Thank you Rosemary

[@martinmade08]

Thank you so kindly! I hope you enjoy making everything as you go. They are so helpful. I love my KitchenAid and know you will too. Thanks for the comment Rosemary.

[@kathykolenda7517]

I just bought mine at age 68. I got it 2 days ago and can’t wait to try it😀. Thanks for a great video

[@chihuahuamartin24]

Hi! I was forced to retire early my self… also last April… 🫢 I definitely am cooking and baking now more than ever so I really want a mixer!

[@merryt55]

Wow 63 early retirement due to an injury and I am also cooking way more than ever before, waiting for my 1st KitchenAid ❤ 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@mindybenore4394]

I can’t even set mine up. It says you need a screwdriver of some type to tighten the beater in -/after 20 minutes I gave up and went back to my old hand beater. It’s way too difficult for me to use. I cannot get the beater to use for cookies and cake batter to even lock in - it’s a bummer because it’s super expensive so I’m going to just give it away.

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I don't use the Kitchenaid as often as you do, but after watching the video (Oct 2023) I will use your ideas and some expressed in the comments. I must get some of the attachments, especially the shredder.

[@jayneprice1411]

Hi Stephanie, Just waiting to take delivery of my Kitchen Aid Tilt head 4.8L Artisan Mixer in Almond Cream. I am a retired 64 year old lady from Devon England. I have been cooking and baking all my life and have wanted a Kitchen Aid Mixer for years and years. I first fell in love with them whilst watching Nigella Lawson using hers on her cooking programmes on the TV. I am so going to be using your tip of the Command hook to neatly coil my electrical flex on the back of my mixer, so thank you for that. Oh the joy I'm going to have. Take care my dear and happy cooking and baking xx Mrs P

[@martinmade08]

I have used that for so long now and it’s amazing how well it works. Congratulations on finally getting your Kitchen Aid too!! I wanted one for quite a long time. My mom always had us cooking with her and she never owned one. We would see it on cooking shows at my grandmas. Well, a few years into my marriage, before the kiddos, my husband bought me mine. Then a few years later we pitched in together to get the bigger one for my mom. It doesn’t tilt but it is heavier duty. Thanks for the comment. 😊

[@teresallompart3838]

I’m planning on buying my Kitchenaid at 75. It’s never too late. Thanks for your tips.

[@martinmade08]

Hope you enjoy it!!!

[@ArlinStill]

The command hook idea was a great suggestion. Storage has been a huge problem for me! Thank you!

[@tonysopranosduck416]

Oh my! I just ordered my very first Kitchenaid Artisan and I’m so excited to try m first task….making butter!! At the price of butter these days with inflation through the roof, this is going to be a big saver for me. Thank you!! Canadian too, I really appreciate your tips, they’re stellar!

[@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ]

May I suggest that you rinse the butter in ice cold water a few times to remove all traces of buttermilk. This will stop it going a bit rancid if left a week or so in the fridge. I make large batches and freeze - then use as required. Love my homemade butter. This is the reason I bought the Kitchenaid!!

[@jmicheledonohue7384]

You freeze the butter?

[@suebean3873]

Do you think it’s cheaper to make your own butter than buying it? Probably close in price to buy or to make. I’d love to make some though and I heard the same, to rinse it several times. Th you!

[@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ]

@@suebean3873 about the same price but its really a great tasting treat.

[@martinmade08]

@@jmicheledonohue7384 Butter freezes so well! It’s great for keeping a stock of it.

[@martinmade08]

@@suebean3873 I find it just a bit cheaper depending on where you get your cream. I cook with buttermilk all the time. So having buttermilk on hand is very nice too. I find the butter isn’t around very long in our house. I only use butter, olive oil coconut oil, or avocado oil at times. But butter is my main cooking ingredient.

[@rowantheauthor959]

love the idea of cream to butter....wonderful thx

[@thomasgronek6469]

awesome, thanks. I hate mixing meatloaf. I use the dough hook on very low, and mix to a minimum, , , over mixing makes a tough meatloaf. I was thinking about mounting a flat LED light underneath the motor head for better light when mixing batter.

[@mikegvoss3762]

Great video, just bought my first kitchenaid at 67. Like the command strip idea for storing the cord. Liked the comment about using parchment paper to slide the appliance over the counter. They are pretty heavy.

[@wcndl]

[@martinmade08]

Thank you so much!!

[@cynthiabeard2282]

Thank you for this video. I have had my KA since 1997. I recently discovered they had the grater attachment, so I purchased one. I suffer from arthritis & this has been a "hand & fingers" saver for me. I hit the subscribe button, because I found your video very educational.

[@martinmade08]

Thank you so much! I’m so thankful that you were able to find the grater as a saver for the arthritis. 🙂

[@rebeccabrooksguest9833]

Thanks for the tips. Regardless of price, the pre-shredded cheese is tasteless; powdered cellulose is added to prevent the cheese from clumping. I'm finally going to buy the shredder attachment.

[@reneehughes7860]

I've got the shredder and love it. Started baking and the sifter attachment is a big help. It weighs and sifts right into the bowl. Easy clean up. Go to a fabric store and buy a piece of felt, cut it to size and place underneath your mixer. Let's it slide in and out easily. Can throw it in the wash if you spill anything. Love the command hook idea. Using it today.

[@martinmade08]

Thank you so much for all the tips!! I love the felt idea! I will try that. I have some felt in my fabric drawers and will cut some out. That sifter sounds amazing! ❤️

Thank you! How have you been loving your Kitchen-aid? I’ve had mine for years and yet it’s the first and sometimes the only thing I go to in my cooking. I’m always thinking, I need another bowl because sometimes I have more then one thing to mix in a recipe. I could do it by hand but the mixer is so much better and faster!

That was such an encouragement to me. Over the years you get the good and the bad comments, but this has to be one of the most encouraging I’ve had.

Fyi, they have made new beaters that are stainless so that you no longer have the issue of the white coming off your beaters as shown in your video. The older beaters have been found to have lead so they now use stainless. Also, I purchased small round furniture sliders and placed them under my mixer so that I can slide it more easily when moving it on my counter. (Mine sits in the corner just like yours)

[@martinmade08]

I have seen the new beaters and noticed they were without the white coating. The furniture sliders are a great idea too! Thanks for sharing.

We were missionaries in Brazil for 14 years and used our kitchenaid a lot too! Mostly making bread but also grinding meat. One time ground 20kg in one sitting from a cow my uncle butchered. The mixer is a workhorse and handled it well. We left the mixer in Brazil last year with another missionary and its still going strong

[@martinmade08]

Jeyson Braun wow! 14 years as a missionary is amazing. I love hearing that. My kitchenaid is a machine that I wouldn’t do without now that I own one. I’ve never done meat, but would love to.

[@jeysonbraun4250]

@@martinmade08 yes, I was a pilot there and flew missionaries into the Amazon jungle. We lived in a city and flew out to the jungle. However, we took a Kitchenaid to a Brazilian missionary family out in the jungle who used it with solar panels. A nice tool that made life a tiny bit easier for them in a harsh living situation but of course, it's all worth it to glorify God.

[@martinmade08]

Jeyson Braun that’s great to hear! I have family that are missionaries and the things they give up to share Gods love with people who wouldn’t otherwise receive it is huge. But they know they are where God wants them and it’s for His glory like you said!

[@sherrylhov3863]

Great video. Short and sweet and to the point! I noticed that one of your beaters has chipped vinyl. So does mine and it worries me as more chips are appearing. The chat at Kitchen Aid wanted to charge me before answering my concerns. Any suggestions anyone?

[@martinmade08]

My mom bought me a different brand of blades that were a type of plastic with silicone edges. It worked great, but then eventually under pressure of whatever food goes in there, it does break. I have seen that they are making them without the coding on it, but I don’t have those yet. Honestly, just wanting money to answering concerns is not what I would call good business. I would probably go to a department in which I can complain, and get a hold of higher ups. The higher up the chain, you can get the more likely they will send you a brand new product because they want to good name. The people on the phones or behind the computer are not people that absolutely care about this company. Some might but most probably don’t, because it’s a job. I hope that helps, and I hope you can get some answers. If you do, please let me know!
