KitchenAid K45B Flat Beater (Optional Accessory for KitchenAid Stand Mixers)

Product Information

After years of baking with various KitchenAid attachments, we generally use the paddle attachment when making cake batter, as it’s strong enough to beat air into the butter, however sometimes with an oil-based cake the whisk attachment can work well if you don’t need to go too fast. If you have just started baking and are not keen on investing that much into a stand mixer (yet), getting a hand mixer should be enough to whip up lots of delicious treats, including our Signature Baking Kits ! Choosing the Right Mixer Attachment The whisk attachment is perfect for baking prep work that needs incorporating air into thin batters or liquid mixtures. Use this to make frostings, meringues, whipped cream, and custards. The grinder attachments have an aluminum alloy body. This means your basic grinder tool will last longer than all plastic ones. The grinder parts can be safely cleaned in the dishwater. Can you use third party attachments with your Smeg? When you’re working with heavier doughs such as bread, pizza, or pasta, a dough hook is the best option. Using any other type of mixer attachment might overheat and damage the mixer.

Some bakers will advocate for the wire whip attachment for cake batter. While it may resemble the attachment you remember from a hand mixer, it is lightweight and flexible like a handheld whisk instead. Unless you are making angel food cake, use the flat beater attachment for cakes. Conclusion Refrain from using the balloon whisk to whip heavier batters like muffin and pound cake mixtures, especially bread dough. It’ll damage the whisk’s delicate structure in no time. 4. Flex Edge Beater You also get a centering ring, mixing spatula, transparent lid, ice cream beater and a special mixing spatula and a magnetized adapter. There’s also the pouring shield which serves as what its name says–shields you from cream or flour flying around from the bowl while mixing. However, if you want to be able to do more with your hand mixers, such as kneading dough or whipping, then you will need to choose a model that comes with the additional kneading dough and whisk attachments.

If you’re using a dough hook, there will be much less effort needed. With the pasta cutter and rollers, you can use your Smeg stand mixer to make different types of pasta with fresh dough. Flatten your freshly prepared dough and push it through the roller to make pasta. Specific blade attachments allow you to make various pasta shapes.
