[@lorenzomejia]

Amy, I got this stand mixer a week ago, it´s great. Greetings from Dominican Republic.

[@jblook7291]

I purchased this mixer and so far I love it. Quieter than a kitchen aid and does such a great job of making meringues. When it comes to creaming butter and sugar I had none of the problems that you had in your video ( so far ) .When it comes to bread dough it did a much better job than a kitchen aid. Did not over heat like a Kitchen aid either. Over all I think for the price the quality of this mixer is A++.

[@WannodsPlace]

Do you know if the KA bowl and paddles fit this Cuisinart stand mixer

[@jblook7291]

@@WannodsPlace Sorry to say they do not fit.

[@WannodsPlace]

@@jblook7291 thanks for letting me know. I decided yesterday after seeing Amys review in the Bosch compact stand mixer. I ordered it last night

[@WannodsPlace]

Thanks for the responses. Since it doesn't, i decided to order the Bosch compact stand mixer after watching a review Amy done on it. I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival.

[@67impala409]

My Kitchenaid 325 Watt couldn’t cream cold butter and sugar without the motor slowing down to completely stopping plus it began smoking and stunk up kitchen! Ordered the Cuisinart Agave Green color today. I’ll he testing out creaming cold butter and sugar soon as I receive it

So glad to see you review this! I’ve been following y’all’s channel for a while. And I look forward to your reviews, and actually trust your reviews. Thank you, Amy!

[@thisZelse]

Just found this channel and holy crap exactly the review I needed. Your chemistry with your husband is awesome and so is the review.

[@WhiteRosez007]

Thank you Amy for this video!! I have the PM-50 going on 4 years in April. You are spot on about that mixer. I didn't realize this until I started in learning how to make bread dough. The dough on mine looks just like yours and I end up kneading it by hand. I thought it was me. Also I decided to do the KA dime test on paddle beaters to see if they are adjusted....whelp the beater didn't even come near a quarter much less a dime. After calling Cuisinart today..no adjustments can be made as they no longer have service centers...(Say WHAT??) Newer models according to the rep. can make adjustments....errr.....errr... In the long run it does do well on large batches of cookie dough, pound cakes(do the scrape the bowl dance for creaming smaller batches) and think I am going to have re-invest in a KA... My rating is a C overall due servicablity for the user.....

[@TargetProv31]

I believe that to truly do a test, you would have had to test this and a mixer you like and normally use like a Kitchen Aid testing them side by side and have done the bread test side by side using the exact same ingredients, portions and steps. Like adding the salt when you did. What if something was off with your yeast and it wasn’t the Cuisinart’s fault your dough wasn’t exactly as expected? With all that said, thanks for taking the time to film and show us. 😆☺️

[@paulcousino8773]

There is a flat head screw that adjusts the height of the mixer. The screw is located near the top of the base if you lift the mixer head up. There is a video on you tube that explains it.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

The problem wasn't the height of the beater it was the space between the beater and the sides of the bowl. Thanks for watching.

[@chevyguy6961]

Try applying some olive oil to the dough hook. Works with the Kitchenaid Artisan, and Classic dough hooks. Dough doesn't climb the hook as much and you get a better knead.

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Am a very novice baker and have learnt good tips from Amy's reviews. :). And I missed out on a limited time deal on azon for half price earlier today and have been kind of kicking myself over it. I want to use a stand mixer for meringues, bread, and cookie dough, and this model doesn't seem particularly versatile.

[@blessedandhappy3921]

Hi Amy, will the aftermarket paddle’s (example one’s with the silicone edge) that fit Kitchenaid SM fit the Cuisinart SM-50? If not, do you have a recommendation? Thank you.

[@KnewEyes1990]

Know I'm late to the conversation but I agree with you, I own this mixer is red and I too struggle with the exact problems you had in this video. I find the mixer itself is great its the paddle attachment and dough hook that sucks. I'm hoping aftet awhile they will come out with a new dough hook and paddle attachments.

[@CShannon1991]

FINALLY!!!!! I got to see this Cuisinart Stand Mixer in ACTION!!!!!!! Looking in depth, I do however agree about some of the parts being made out of plastic.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Hey CJ Glad you enjoyed it. The results were BLAH. So it's a mixed build. Smoother operator, with cheap parts that doesn't mix or knead all that well. So if you own a spatula to scrape it down and don't mind kneading for 20-30 mins.... but we ate some of the bread this morning, and it wasn't bad. The dough just looked a little funny going into the bread pans. But USA PANS/William Sonoma Gold Touch did a wonderful job!

[@CShannon1991]

@@EricLearnstoCook Also on the Whipped Cream part, it seemed like the Cuisinart took a very long time to whip. Whereas compared to my KitchenAid, I’m pretty sure my KitchenAid will whip cream in about 30 or 40 seconds.

I looked for an update video on this mixer from you, to see if you ever found the tilt head adjustment screw and gave it a fresh take once adjusted?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

You can adjust the mixer head. I don't think it would address the issue of the dough hook being just too narrow. It is too far from the edge of the bowl for it to effectively knead the dough. Raising or lowering it doesn't really help.

Best couple n Cuisinar review 🤣 . About the Cuisinar, I do like the look 👀. I got mine in white , love how the chrome n white looks in my kitchen as my decor is white ,aqua and gray. So it looks pretty . I didn’t like the old fashion look on kitchen aid and 2x more expensive for the machine . Cuisinar looks more modern n cheaper also, if I want the bottom to touch u have to look at a KZbin video that teaches u how to lower it down some which I found so easy to do.

Pretty SURE the reason the sugar & butter stuck to the sides is, you keep increasing the speed of a small amount for the initial area, it flew to the sides then stayed there. You did that at least twice I saw.

[@CookingWithCash]

Hey Amy & Eric! Loved the video! And the mixer! Omg I am SOOOO EXCITED! I ORDERED AN HL6!!!!! I can’t open it till Christmas though😫😩😩 I’m gonna be baking bread left and right. I guess I’ll just have to start a mixer collection. What has Amy created! 🤣They ran out of spare bowls too. So I made some ALDI cinnamon rolls today they they were yummy. I kinda feel guilty that I’m moving my baby Artisan off it’s throne😩😂 I’m gonna get one of those storage carts to put them on. I’m naming it Hobie the Baby Hobart! Yay! Well, Happy Cooking & God Bless Y’all!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Congrats Cash on Hobie, the Baby Hobart! Love it! Early Merry Christmas. Just remember that it is still a light duty mixer in that it can do lots of bread, but just four pounds at a time. Don't get into a race with Mayhem and try to do a ten pound recipe! Too bad you gotta wait until Christmas. Can't you ask Santa if you can open early so you can make some Thanksgiving Dinner rolls? Make sure you stock up on yeast. If this next lockdown goes as crazy as the last one, then you may be left with a mixer and nothing to mix in it. Nothing wrong with moving the Artisan off its throne. It's still a beauty, but by not kneading bread in it, you'll be extending it's life.

Hi, Amy. I finally got myself a kitchen aid stand mixer and I am so excited to use it even though it has not arrived yet. I got a refurbished stand mixer and I am not sure how it would function. I would love to know what is your opinion on that?

Could the reason the dough seemed under developed be because you added salt in with the yeast rather than sugar?

[@javieruza4779]

Very good question.... MMMmmm...!

[@gemreemangilit7786]

As far as I know and experienced the only factor needed for gluten development is water. I tried autolyse without salt, sugar just water and waited and gluten was developed.

[@gemreemangilit7786]

Update watched that part and I think putting the oil at the start hindered the gluten development. Should have been added last when gluten is already developed.

[@gemreemangilit7786]

Shouldn't have put the oil there together with the water first. Oil js a water barrier and it hinders gluten development. Oil should be put in last when gluten is already developed. Not a bad machine just an incorrect method.

[@guidodelgiudice5]

Is it normal for the head to rock and wobble while making bread dough?

[@sashineb.2114]

Hi Amy, Thanks for another very thorough review. I've seen other reviews and comments about how the paddle doesn't get as close to the bowl as they would like. Maybe you know that the height can be adjusted, similar to an Artisan, by turning the screw under the mixer head? At any rate, they should have developed a scraper paddle long ago. For the bread, would the salt & yeast mixing together at the start have had an effect? It's too bad you didn't get the result you wanted. Thanks again.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Greetings. I didn't see an adjustment screw under the head. Just the center of the head is an indent on the end of the shaft, certainly nothing that would take a wrench or screwdriver. Thus the Artisan still has this thing beat. What I hate about the Artisan is a need for that screw if you change bowls (glass to stainless steel). What I hate about this mixer is only one bowl and out of the box, the beater doesn't come close to the bowl. Did they test it on something we don't have, like a ceramic or glass bowl, but ship with only stainless steel? Yes, a scraper paddle or just a good beater and dough hook would have done it. Yeah, Amy mistakenly grabbed the salt instead of the sugar. Lucky for her, this was SAF instant yeast, thus no need to let it bloom. So realizing her mistake, she just added all the ingredients at once so the salt wouldn't have a chance to kill the yeast. The bread might have developed the gluten if we let it knead for another 10 or 20 minutes? Dunno. The bread baked OK, so wasn't a total waste. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for watching :-)

[@sashineb.2114]

@@EricLearnstoCook Hi Eric, I really wanted to like that mixer, even though I saw from other reviews that it was leaving too much mixture on the bowl. It reminded me of when Amy's batter made a crater on the Mini KitchenAid mixer. Here is a video link that shows how to adjust the height of the Cuisinart mixer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4S8lKKwrK2hfpY Even with it adjusted, will it do the job? Maybe it's an OK mixer for one loaf of bread (3 cups flour) instead of two, but after seeing Amy's frustration, I know I wouldn't buy it now. Have a good night.

Talking about space age, I just bought my Cuisinart in Costco in Canada. It does not have the button with numbers for different speeds but it has a digital display with a manual like a computer. Asks me to select my preferred language, then asks to choose between Dough, mixing or whisking. When I choose dough, it asks me pizza, white bread or whole wheat. Push on the button while the mixer works, will pause it and a longer press will stop it from working. Try it, I need a lesson on this mixer please

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Hi Maria. Thanks for your honest comment. The bread we made wasn't awful. We've made worse. So the Cuisinart probably required more time to properly knead bread. Not a deal breaker, but just nothing to get excited about. If it had a scraper beater like KA's do, then that part wouldn't be so bad. But compared to mixing by hand, it's not that bad. Thanks for your kind words. We have lots of fun making these. Happy Holiday Season!!!

[@hoboqueen4453]

My Aicock mixer with the double hooks, (you reviewed it), does a much better job with dough than this, but it's not so great at meringue or batter. This machine is supposed to have an adjustment screw inside the neck, maybe, so you can adjust the distance to the sides and/or bottom - a feature I wish the Aicock had.

Thanks Tracy. Amy is planning on a video that will show proper butter creaming action (and maybe some not so good). This would certainly rank on the latter.

Hi Ali. Thanks for watching. We did a microwave oven review once. Didn't go so well. Did a toaster oven. Ditto. IF, and a big IF, a sponsor sends us something, then we can do those. But if we're spending our own money, then mixers, multicookers, pressure cookers, knives and food processors are the most likely things. I hope you understand.

[@davidbgreensmith]

I think the plastic bit would worry me too. They looked cheap with that silver finish and I wonder what their longevity would be when it came to cleaning them . Especially when you consider how easily the hub cover popped off - I can see it ending up in the mixer bowl. They saved a couple of quid with plastic rather than metal, but I think the extra would have improved the overall look. The issue with the beater and dough hook is a bit baffling. You'd have thought that would have been noticed in product testing. Creaming sugar and butter together is a basic step for many baking recipes. It clearly smeared the butter around the inside of the bowl and then just tickled the surface. Same fir the dough hook, although I thought it looked quite wet, like a pizza dough rather than a bread dough.

[@vmitchinson]

I agree with you about the plastic cover becoming part of your whipped cream. Poor design. Needs a redesign to eliminate that cover. Also the shape under the cover is going to be a cleaning problem.

[@lavedrareed4221]

Also after about three months the post used to put on and take off the attachments will freeze up and you won't be able to use your attachments. You end up with a very pretty piece of junk.

[@mikebrock1965]

I have one of these and it was awful. It seems a lot of them came out of the factory without the head properly adjusted so there is too much space between the attachments and the bowl. I just discovered there is an adjusting screw in the joint when the head is in the up position. Turning it in(clockwise) will lower the head.

[@mikebrock1965]

@@jory6795 It helped some. The problem with most paddles for table top mixers is that they are thin and rounded and they tend to cut thru batter instead of grabbing it like a flat paddle. Scrapping a bowl is an issue even with commercial mixers unless you have one that has a scraper that attaches to the planetary and sweeps the inside of the bowl but I've only seen those on larger mixers.

Watt ratings to me are almost meaningless. Horsepower and torque would be more helpful from these companies. It's like all the home theaters with unreasonably high wattage claims which never add up to what an actual test shows. There are amplifiers out there that put out as little as 10 watts per channel that can sound better than modern systems claiming 1,000 or more.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't go down that road. Well, too late. LOL. I hate it when they don't include the THD ratings. I love (or used to love) Onkyo because they were priced good and had clean power (if you read the specs and avoided the cheapest models), until they got too cheap in building them and lost a ton of customers over it. I agree. There is a difference between peak power and RMS power, that most don't use, because it's lower than peak (and I doubt most people know what it means, let alone understand it). That all said, even if mixer manufacturers used torque, what torque to specify at what speed/gear? But yes, anything is better than what KA does, but then, KA sells a ton of mixers. OK. Done hating on audio and stand mixer manufacturers. LOL.

[@valerieschluger]

Looks like some parts of food preparation difficult.

Doesn't mix or knead very well because the beater and dough hook don't come close enough to the bowl and/or are wrong shape. But some people like this mixer, so it must do a good enough job for them.

I think you were generous in your rating of this mixer. I would not buy one.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

I think Amy was in a good mood. I'd give it a C as in average because it didn't mix very well (lots of scraping) nor knead very well. But many mixers today don't do very well. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.

[@carolinebeck807]

@@EricLearnstoCook I agree with you. I was amazed at how good that thing was at applying butter to the bowl sides, kinda like applying stucco to a house.

Salt kills yeast🤷‍♂️

[@EricLearnstoCook]

It does. Luckily, we didn't need to proof the yeast because it was SAF instant yeast. Thus why Amy immediately proceeded with the recipe. She was mixed up on what cup contained sugar. Had it been Active Dry Yeast, then we would have tossed out the ingredients and started over.

Tough review... Poor cuisinart😅🤣💕

[@sweetphantasy5882]

Not liking it. 🤔 🙁

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Me neither. LOL. Looks are one thing. Build quality is another. But not mixing or kneading well. Now, if they offered a scraper beater, then it'd be a bit better.
