I have had my kitchen aid mixer for over 25 years. I put it away after we moved to Florida and totally forgot I had it. I am now ready to start using it again and would love to see some recipes for ice cream.

[@fhpperkins2735]

Than You. Please continue your Kitchenaide tutorials. Especially for those of us that are novice bakers. I find that the creaming step in the making of cookies and cakes still a bit of a mystery but I am slowly learning from my errors. I’m sure that you could explain in a very clear way basic techniques for creaming butter, sugar and eggs (oh no, the batter has broken). Thank You

[@pearlrose20]

Thank you for this. My mother upgraded hers and gave me her old one, all the parts where there, but no manual. I had figured all this out from looking at it, but these things are so expensive I wanted to be certain I was doing it right before actually doing anything. Thank you!

SmartyPantsGamerMom you’re very welcome...glad I could help x

[@goldie7579]

Thank you for a simplistic version of how to use my new KitchenAid mixer. My husband brought it for Mother's Day for me. I was too lazy to read the manual. Thank you for making it easy

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Alyson1107 You’re very welcome. Hope you enjoy using it. X

[@ranasha5317]

It was my dream to have it from long time, due to its expensive in our country 10 times more I didn't buy. Now I m visiting USA and bought it for $380. Thanks to God to fullfil my dream. So this video helped me.

[@annette2687]

Thank you so much! Hubby gave me this as an early Christmas gift so I'd have it for Thanksgiving. I couldn't get that bowl off to save my life! Thanks to you, Thanksgiving is back on! :) Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

[@lynnybee888]

Thank you !! I couldn't even get the machine out of the box without help. I had no idea how to use this mixer, then, I saw your video & all my questions were answered. I'm very new at this & appreciate the easy & simple video.

[@Merlotti9]

That's great to hear...glad it helped. X

[@Ms.MD7]

Thank you! This made it so simple. My mother n law gave me hers but I was intimidated to use it.

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Panda Power that’s lovely to know, thank you x

[@kyolud]

Thank you for the great guide!

[@cyndifoore7743]

Don’t you have to make an adjustment to lower the beater to the bottom of the bowl? I’ve only used mine once because of the gap in the bottom that didn’t mix correctly, ended up mixing by hand.

[@raw13th]

I've had this things for years, I wished I would have watched this in 2015. Thanks for not allowing this thing to intimidate anymore.

[@bonappetit7862]

I bought it at the coutrs store during the holiday. This morning it's my first use. It spins for 2 seconds and then it stops

[@kaitlyngoatcher3969]

Hi ok I have kitchen aide stand mixer but I can’t figure out what attachment to use for what

[@jowind777]

Thank you. Helpful!

[@piinkdollTX]

Wow, where did you get the rose gold whisk

[@hilarymcallister8846]

You were a big help thank you

[@Merlotti9]

Hilary McAllister you're welcome. Happy holidays xxx

[@davisamills597]

Best video!!!!

[@margaretburns2486]

my stand beater dosnt have protruding nozzle to fix my beater to it, its all intragated

[@filipkopchev7461]

I had the hand mixer and it died in my hand while making chocolate chip cookies dough. kzbin.infoUgkxV-4_UFTAJEegRY8I2jrpCEthOr39izrZ Recommend After researching, everyone said even if you go with the smallest stand mixer, it would still be much better than the hand mixer. But since this is an investment that would outlive me, might as well pick the good one and what would be better than KitchenAid stand mixer right? And I’m not disappointed! It works really well. It’s steady, easy to clean! I’ve been baking every weekend. And I absolutely love the ice color. I purposely posted a few photos so you can see the color in different light.

[@SR-sg7qk]

On my attachments I noticed I dont have the flat top thing you have above it. Is that a extra thing to buy

[@bonappetit7862]

I’m sorry, I don’t understand which part you mean.

[@SR-sg7qk]

@@bonappetit7862 the cover above the attachments

[@oliva1745]

Which part I can use for mixing pancakes dough?

[@Merlotti9]

Pancakes are more of a batter, I'd use the whisk I think

[@Annie1962]

Thanks for that. Some people have mentioned oil coming out and landing in the bowl. Has that happened to you?

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Annie1962 not at all. Maybe do a trial run just in case if you’re worried though.

[@fatihabelfakir7769]

I have kitchen aid classic ( a Small) I have problem locking the boll in place. It keeps moving during the process. Any advise? Thanks a lot

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Fatiha Belfakir the bowl can be placed with the handle in two places. I would suggest that if it doesn’t lock securely with the handle to the very left, turn the handle to the top right, then place down and turn clockwise until it locks in. Hope this helps.

[@kaitlyngoatcher3969]

And then flat beater candies

[@kaitlyngoatcher3969]

Will someone please help me out I am making fudge

[@katieaustin9910]

my bowl is stuck😳

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Katie Austin eeek...squirt a bit of oil, any will do, between the base of the bowl and the base of the KitchenAid, then give it a hard turn Anti-clockwise...that would be my best suggestion!

[@epiefresquez4753]

Same color different model

[@kaitlyngoatcher3969]

It says wire whip some candies

[@DirebonappetitBlogspotmerlotti]

Kaitlyn Goatcher use the flat paddle for mixing cakes, the dough hook for bread and the metal whisk for egg whites etc.

[@dominguezl6323]

This is by far the worse mixer I have ever used. We bought this for $599 a year ago and had used in for less than one year and the roller stopped turning while the motor is still running. I waited a month to bring into repairs due to Covid and the holidays and the warranty had just expired. They told me this is a known problem and repair cost comes to $400+. Because the warranty expired they are not covering it. What a SCAM!! If this is a known problem, why did they focused on the marketing in selling a colourful and fancy looking mixer to the public instead of engineering a good quality mixer and fixing the inherent problem??? I will never buy another KitchenAid product ever again and will tell everyone I know to do the same. Shame on you kitchenScam!

[@BringItOn31124]

Where do you live that a kitchenaid tilt head mixer cost $599. Are you saying the beater shaft isn't rotating? Don't know if this is the case but bread dough shouldn't be mixed at a speed above 2 and cookies shouldn't be mixed at a speed above 4. It strips the nylon worm gear prematurely. It only cost $20 for a genuine replacement shipped and takes all of 1/2 hour to install.
