![]() ![]() The 300-watt Artisan is available in 13 tantalising colours – including a very tasty honey colour – and comes with a 4.8-litre stainless steel bowl, a smaller 3-litre stainless steel bowl without a handle for smaller batches or extra ingredients for the same recipe, a balloon whisk, dough hook, flat beater and a brilliant Flex Edge beater with a rubber edge for scraping wayward ingredients off the side of the bowl. Aside from a slot for adding pasta-cum-meat grinder type attachments on the front, that’s about it. It still has the same, pleasingly old fashioned 10-speed lever with nice big speed lettering and a similar lever on the back to lift up the heavy-duty arm. The US company’s 'K' model mixer was originally designed in the 1930s and not much has changed since then. KitchenAid's stand mixers are the mainstay of many a TV cookery show – including the Great British Bake Off. Sage products rarely fail to impress and this speak and slim mixer is a prime example of that. The Bakery Boss comes loaded with everything required of the British Baking Show-wannabe: a 4.7-litre glass borosilicate microwave-safe bowl, an additional 3.8 litre stainless steel bowl and an abundance of tools, including a scraper beater with rubber edges to catch errant ingredients on the side of the bowl, a dough hook, a flat beater for heavier batters and a huge whisk. It really has been exceedingly well thought-through and designed. ![]() The 1,200-watt motor is automatically ramped up when heavier ingredients are added. Known as Breville The Bakery Boss outside of the UK, this model doesn't go out of its way to look unlike a traditional stand mixer, but it still boasts a host of natty design flourishes. These include a very handy handle on the front of the articulated mixer arm, an LED-lit bowl, an LCD timer and a handy strip light that displays the speed setting you’ve selected, just in case you’ve forgotten. Read our full review of the Kenwood Titanium Chef KVC7300S.Highly recommended, then, for so many reasons. The Kenwood Titanium Chef passed every whipping, mixing and kneading task we threw at it with effortless, speedy aplomb. Our master baker, a dyed-in-the-wool KitchenAid devotee, loved pretty much everything about this mixer, especially the easy attachment mounting method, the spring-loaded arm-raising mechanism, the twin handle 4.6-litre bowl, the electronic speed controller and, of course, that brilliant bowl light. You can also buy optional beaters designed specifically for creaming and folding. Just when you think it can’t get any better, a light tap of the chrome slab on top switches on an LED that bathes the entire bowl in bright white light so you can see how the mix is going.Īnother brilliant feature of this mixer is that it has not one but two separate accessory outlets, one for slow-speed attachments (pasta roller, meat mincer and grinding mill) and the other for high-speed accessories (food processor, glass blender and compact chopper). The plastic splash guard on top of the bowl slides on very easily and our test baker loved the transparent flip-up cover for feeding in ingredients. The stainless steel bowl is a sight to behold and very practical too because it comes with a handle on either side. It also provides an extra low speed for gently folding in egg whites and a full-speed pulse function for rapidly blitzing whatever it is you want to rapidly blitz. Switch it on and the circular control dial lights up in readiness for you to select your preferred speed from one to eight. The electronic speed control system is another tactile addition. Unlike some mixers which require manually lifting the heavy arm, this one is operated by a simple latch which causes the whole top to spring up on its own without any effort whatsoever. Like most mixers, the heavy-weight top half articulates upwards to make it easy to remove the gorgeously shiny 4.6-litre stainless steel bowl (good for a dozen egg whites or 2.72kgs of cake mix) and change between the industrial strength stainless-steel K-beater, whisk and dough hook. It also comes with an abundance of 21st Century tech while being just as well built as both the Sage and KitchenAid products below.Ĭonstructed almost entirely from die-cast metal and equipped with an ultra-powerful 1,500-watt motor (KitchenAid’s is just 300 watts), this high-end mixer weighs in at a substantial 9.2 kilos, so once it’s in position, it's best to leave it there. Its understated styling and unobtrusive gun-metal colour is suitable for a wide variety of kitchen designs and it doesn’t take up as much space as you’d imagine. This exemplary British-designed and engineered planetary mixer from Kenwood is still our number one choice, and for a variety of reasons. ![]()
