Dormeyer

I have the Dormeyer you posted above. I know little about it, other than my grandfather bought it for my grandmother new in 1963. I haven't used it in a long LONG time.

It's interesting...

....but given that Sunbeam Australia designed and engineered the heritage range, we don't get the single motor design here, only the twin motor with all its' faults.

Nor to we get the hand held version....

4C Bowls

I thought the 4C's only used glass bowls, but I see the one there that appears to be using a metal bowl with the lip around the edge, like the one I described in another thread. So can you use either glass or metal with a 4C?

Both bowls were gone when I went back for them. Damn.

Lips or no Lips?

The 4C was orginally marketed with a 4 quart glass bowl which also works perfectly with a Classic, Ultra or Artisan. There is a factory replacement 4 quart bowl made specifically for the 4C and available at shopkitchenaid.com for $59.00. The all purpose beater is out of stock. The 4B is the rarest of the bunch and has a galvanized bowl that threads onto a screw. It has a whip, paddle and dough hook but none of the later bowls or beaters are interchangable. The new 90th anniversary model Artisan has a glass bowl with a handle and pouring lip that weighs a ton. That bowl will become open stock after the anniversary year ends on August of 2010.

Thanks Sandy. It's a moot point currently since a sharp shopper grabbed both of the bowls at Salvation Army, but good information to know for future jaunts to the thrift stores.

I like that 4C with the metallic finish. Very handsome, and would be right at home in the most modern of kitchens, which speaks volumes for KA's timeless designs over the years.

The picture above of the little girl pouring in the red liquid into the mixer bowl is the granddaughter of our former member Mixfinder (Kelly) who passed away 09/12/2013. When I had no mixer at all, Kelly gifted me this very same mixer to me in 2010 or 2011. This is a KitchenAid 4C mixer. I cherish this mixer and hope to find someone who can repair what appears to be the motor speed regulator.

Yesterday, Ted wanted to take a drive up to the nearby town of McGregor. We stopped in a little shop we've looked in several times. While meandering around, I saw a display of embroidered kitchen towels. And then I spied IT. One with an broidered scene of baking immplements including a silhouette of a KitchenAid 3C or 4C mixer. I had to have it to honor Kelly. When I purchased the item, I informed the clerk I had the mnixer depicted in scene, it's a KitchenAid 4C mixer. I told her it was a an item gifted to me by a friend who had succcumed to cancer. She was most impressed I could tell her it was indeed a real mixer and told me she was going to informm the local artist who had embroidered the towel.

Gosh, I can't believe Kelly has been gone for almost 11 years. I still miss his posts.

His granddaughter must be of driving age by now.

I think of Kelly often.  He enjoyed sharing his collection with many of us.. He gifted me a one slot KA toaster when I could not find a replacement that would fit my space,  still using to this day.

I have a link saved to his Thanksgiving posts and I refer to them every Thanksgiving for inspiration. I never met Kelly in person, but feel like I knew him through his posts. He was such a nice guy, and always had great information to share.
