Kitchenaid 9-speed hand mixer

Martin,

next time you need to mix a meatloaf or meatballs try using a large, two tined cooking/carving fork. I saw this on a cooking show, “Cooking Plain and Fancy”, with a middle aged, New Jersey housewife, almost 30 years ago. It mixes these kinds of mixtures thoroughly, yet helps to keep the mixture aerated and prevents the finished meatloaf or meatballs from being tough. Also, its easy as hell to clean that large fork, and your hands stay clean too. Its one of the best cooking hints I ever ran across.

Now Eugene, you've given up the best part of the bowl-lift and everyone will want one!  LOL

 

I had a tilt-head bought in 93 or 94, now at mom's.  I have a Hobart bowl-lift K5-SS on my counter now and have gotten used to the lift mechanism.  I have the copper liner for the bowl and have shocked more than a few people with it's egg white magic.  Well worth the $8 at an estate sale.

 

I also have been a bit surprised at the quality of the KA line in recent months.  I saw a bowl-lift model at Costco last week that looked very cheap.  Glad I have the Hobart, even if it does weigh as much as a new refrigerator.

The Shardor hand mixer looks to be very good based on what I saw in this video. It is 300 watts, has 5 regular speeds, 5 turbo speeds and is only about $30.

Adiós, Kitchenaid toy hand mixer.

It was returned and Amazon almost instantly issued a refund.

I was VERY happy to see it go.

My next acquisition will be a Kitchenaid 5-speed hand blender. Unfortunately they don't come in Empire Red, but at least now they have brushed SS.

I had one of those and I loved it. It's very powerful and does what's supposed to do. I gave it to my sister.
