Amy, thanks for all you do. Because of you, I bought 3 6 Qt kitchen mixers! I gifted 2 of them to my children and one for me! NOW I have a 17 grandson In culinary school and high school, cooks wonderfully for the family, so will buy him his own kitchen aid for graduation! Thank you so so much, have learned so much from you! A grateful grandma 💕
I have the Breville Scraper Mixer Pro. I have owned it for 10 years now. I use it for mixing jobs at least 5 times per week, every week of the year. That’s approximately 260 mixing jobs every year for the past 10 years! = 2600 uses! ...and it’s still going strong in 2021. Does a fantastic job every time. Great respect for the Breville. PS I also love Kenwood.
I have a red artisan and like your pinkie i think it works really well. i made a batch of bread dough yesterday and the head was shaking a bit even after i locked it but it works really well and combined it.
This was a great challenge video. I, myself, have the KitchenAid tilt head mixer, and yes, it’s a bit annoying when the double batch of bread dough rises up over the attachment, and I have to stop it to push it back down, but it ultimately does kneed pretty nicely. The tilt head also does start to buck a lot, which REALLY unnerves me, but there is also a video, by KitchenAid on how to possibly fix this...which I just tried, and will be making a loaf soon, so, we shall see if the ‘fix’ actually worked. I DO make bread often, so, I may also look into possibly (if I can afford it) getting a bowl lift mixer. Maybe. Thanks again for your review video. It was great. 😌👍🏽👏🏽
I have had no issue at all making bread dough in my kitchenaid artisan using 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups of flour and never had any issue, especially once I adjusted my attachment heights that stopped all the jumping, I never even have to spend to much time handling my dough after kneading it in the kitchenaid, I just roll it into a ball and put it in a bowl to rise. I think adjusting the attachment position would help fix a lot of the issues noted for the kitchenaid, as I haven't had a single issue making anything with mine once getting the proper height set
@@Nnyleenoh There's a little screw near the hinge of the mixer head that adjusts the attachment height. There's something called the dime test that if you look up a video on how to do it, will better explain how to fix the problem.
Kitchenaid head shaking can be fixed easily. Just lift its head and you will see one adjustable, big screw at the joint. Just tighten it little bit and it will stop shaking. But over the period of time it will come again. This problem is not just with kitchenaid but with all head lift up mixers.
Thanks for doing this comparison Amy. I do mix and knead 2 loaves of bread in my KA 5 qt Artisan mixer and it seems to handle it ok. I just think the C shape dough hooks do not knead as well as the spiral ones.
Hi Amy. Thank you for doing a sound comparison. That’s so important to me with my dodgy ears! Breville have a new one out called the Bakery Chef Hub. It has a hub for attachments, although only has 4 attachments so far. I’d love to see a comparison of that one with the KitchenAid if you can.
Amy, Kitchenaid says that most often climbing up the dough hook indicates that the dough is fully kneaded. Otherwise, Kitchenaid recommends adding 1 T of flour at a time to stop the climbing dough. P.S. I enjoy your videos.
Kenwood Cooking Chef. Never hesitates on a batch of bread or pizza dough. Never worry about walking away for 20 minute knead and something breaking or overheating. Probably overkill for my needs, but it amazes me how some of these top-dollar mixers cannot perform the basic function they were built for. The kenny can knead bread dough all day long, but I also use it to culture butter and yogurt and cook a mean bolognese. It's strange how little attention is given to Kenwood in the USA, but I guess that's marketing money. Glad to see you openly acknowledged this in your Kenwood review, and yours is limited by the voltage there! 240 volts here makes 1500 watts ;)
I am a baker with over 20 years experience. My opinion is if you make dough often enough and can afford it, invest in a commercial mixer. You will pay double but will blow these little machines out of the water. Otherwise save your money and knead by hand. These machines are not designed for heavy dough, just enough for a single loaf or a couple pizzas
video was very informative for me, I have never used or owned a stand mixer and was looking around for top rated products because I am learning to cook/bake and only want to use the best equipment and ingredients, and your video really put the top mixers on the market to the test so thank you for that. I look forward to viewing your other videos to see which mixer is best for me. Thank you Amy, people like me really needed to see this.
Me and my mom have always had a kitchen aid mixer . The artisan to be specific, but we bought a proline mixer ! We love it it's over 1 year old ! We are moving Amy and my kitchen is going down to like 7 cabinets thank goodness I don't have to much .
+Sean Young Hey Sean! Is the Proline a 7 quart? Sorry to hear that you will be having a smaller kitchen but you can still make some tasty meals even in the smallest kitchen. I cook in my RV on our camping trips and I have absolutely no room...but we bake pies, etc. I hope everything is going well for you Sean!
Thanks yea . I know I'm kind of happy . It's not that small . Plus I have 1 big pantry and a breakfast nook , so ,we may use that as a extra prep space !
Hello Amy as always nice video!! Just recently, KitchenAid gave us a preview of a newer stand mixer but this newer one is going to be a miniature version of the 5 qt Artisan. They call this new stand mixer the "Mini Artisan" model & it's going to be released sometime in June I think.
Question : Hi Amy … Do you have any info on where I can purchase the Breville Bakery Chef …I cannot find it anywhere … What has happened to this mixer …All searches say dobt know when or if they will ever be back in stock ?!
I can get the breville scraper mixer pro for really cheap, half the price of the KitchenAid, so I'm not sure if I should go for it, or just go for some other cheap mixer that isnt breville or wait for the kitchenaid although the dough is very very dry, crumbly dry until kneaded
I found the dough hook would not gather the dough on my six cups whole wheat recipe and I returned it to the store as I have an old braun mixer that handles it ok. Making one loaf is not worth it.
I have a 25 + year old Artisan mixer. I am not a huge baker, but use it often enough. It is starting to sound a bit rough and I am going to look into having it serviced. Thought I might want a new mixer so started looking at reviews and had just about landed on the Breville, so wanted to see my existing mixer go head to head with it. After watching this, I also continued to research and wanted to know where they were made. Kitchen Aid is made in Ohio/USA and Breville although designed and engineered in Australia is made in China. So I will stick with a Kitchen Aid when and if I need a new stand mixer.
Hi Amy, when you do the cream in the kitchenaid, it seems quite a small recipe. do you know if its meant to be able to fill most of the bowl? i note they advertise as 9 cup flour capacity. Im just wondering if theres a point buying a big mixer that only does a small batch (ie 12 serve cake )
I usually only do about 1 or 2 cups of whipped cream because that it all that Eric can eat before it would go bad. It can do more if you are baking. How large of a batch do you make on a regular basis?
Great review but with the kitchenaid the flex scraper doesn't come with the machine, or does it now? Back 10 yrs ago the only place i could find it was on amazon. Have you tried the 5qt cuisinart mixer, the one with the timer? I think it came out about 10 yrs ago.
melodie I was thinking about buying mixer and thanks for your version of kitchen aid mixer was great now I know what. to check for and what buy. Thank You very much.
Did you use the metal scrapper in snicker doodle? Because there are two types of paddle of Breville. And what's the difference in using the two paddle of Breville?
Love my Kitchen Aid! I got it as a gift from my parents when I got my fist apartment 31 yrs ago! It still works great. It is the white and boy do I see the pretty colors and want one ha ha but this is a treasured gift.
+Leanne Bourgeois "Amython", good idea. I never thought of that. What is your Amython consisting of today? Panthon, Mixerthon, or is Amy actually cooking something? Thanks for watching. Glad you find us entertaining :-)
+Eric Learns to Cook ==Glad to help. BTW-I saw in your survival video some guy complaining about you being in front of the camera. Well too bad for him! I enjoy seeing both of you in the videos. keep them coming please.
+Leanne Bourgeois :-) I'm glad you like to see both of us. I know the one viewer was simply stating his preference to seeing Amy is all. No harm. After all, she has 14.7K subscribers and I have 0.05 K subscribers. Since Amy's not feeling very well, I'll do two videos tomorrow and hope to get them up Sunday. Thank you for all your support. It is greatly appreciated.
I noticed you didn’t use a spoon to add flour to your measuring cup...I have always heard that flour needed to be measured this way to be sure you have the appropriate amount of flour. Is this true or false?
Darian Schneider i heard the same thing as well. But I use a kitchen scale now to get exact measurements since that is the most accurate way to go. But if you don’t have a scale the spooning of the flour works too
It is true Since cup scale are based on volume, which can change from ingredient to ingredient In addition: if you push your cup into a bag of flour you automatically press the flour which results in more flour in one cup since volume measurements are not as certain as weight measurements
@@Darlinqslittleworld NO ! You don't say? You learn something new every day, or should. I purchased a very little scale - to measure the weight of my birdie. I read a good way to see if your bird is healthy is to weigh them, and the little digital scale was perfect for that. Although my bird did always look at me like I was crazy when I put him on the scale and stepped back. Birds are nutty, but very unique and clever.
Good video but she is a very rough kind of person handling the machine. May be she did a good toughness test. Hopefully everything done without bias. But why she removed the cover while the machine is working. But what machine you recommended apart all this machine.
I don't know why things like that happen to her. My Grandma has an artisan just like that, she owns a bakery so she also has Hobart mixers where she can week up to 100 egg whites and she has KA Pro 700 and the artisan, I've seen her do a lot of different doughs double batches and cookies and whipping and never happens something like that. She also tends to complain when tilt heads move but that's actually meant to be, otherwise unyielding heads or unyielding arms for bowl lifts can be dangerous, forces the motor too much so they all are designed that way, also I'm not sure about Breville but KA has a circuit that amps the torque of the mixer if necessary and in case not even that works it has a sort of kill switch that breaks inside to prevent the motor to be damaged and a technician can easily change it, also remember that it's easier to find KA spare parts if ever needed compared to Breville. Don't be afraid, it is a perfect mixer for home use, it's beautiful, and it will get the job done really well. Check other chefs videos and they all use KA mixers and they don't nag, complain for things like that because they know how they are built and the purpose of the design, and I'm sure Breville builds them the same way as prevention.
Yeah...the 6 quart will not move around on the mixer head like the Artisan. Do you intend to make bread with it? The only drawback with the 6 quart is it louder than the other models.
I am willing to bet that that isn't grease in your dough from the KA. I got a brand new one as well and the steal bowl has some sort of residue in it that has to be cleaned with lemon juice, or vinegar. The first time I used mine I only cleaned it with soap and water and I was getting grey/black stuff in my dough. After doing research I found out it was from the bowl. After cleaning it with a scrub sponge and lemon juice it didn't do it anymore.
I like them both. The main thing is the Artisan comes with a bowl that has a handle and the Classic doesn't...but you can buy extra bowls for it. There is not a lot of size difference between the two.
great demonstration! When you show that the Kitchenmaid shakes during the cookie dough demo, did you have the lock feature on? I find my artisan kitchenmaid shakes during a variety of mixing doughs (cookies, doughs, cakes); however, if i use the lock feature, the shaking is dramatically reduced.
+Elke Wheeler It was locked. I was really surprised how much it moved around. I usually use the bowl lift type KitchenAid. I think they are better for bread.
AmyLearnsToCook I agree that shouldn't happen with a brand new applience but on occasion it does happen. Maybe KitchenAid tilt heads were made better before the 2000's.
I have a Breville Scraper Mixer Pro. We don't have the Bakery Boss available here in the U.S. Is there a difference in the two? I would choose a KitchenAid over the Scraper Mixer Pro.
The Bakery Boss is their newer model, presumably learning from issues with the Scraper Mixer. It's been out since about April in Australia. Main difference appears to be a heavier duty, more powerful, higher torque motor with all metal gears and more gear teeth. So, in theory, it should perform a lot better than the Scraper Mixer Pro. It's also a lot more expensive - approx A$200 more recommended retail than the Scraper Mixer Pro is in Australia.
I've used this mixer for over a year now and I can say that my opinion hasn't changed. It is a good little mixer but not great for heavy doughs or batters.
Ok so I noticed that the KitchenAids is much faster than the Breville, which could be the reason for the kitchenAids louder sound. I'm almost sure that the Breville is a D/C motor mixer, which I prefer as it will typically have a nice slow start easing into the power insteag of jump to a power setting.
also, I wonder if you've watched America's test kitchens latest mixer testing video. the breville was tested as I recall, and it died after repeated bread doughs.
Amazing video... for daily basis dough making from wheat flour, can you please suggest a nice mixer... I am in Australia and found these 3 brands - KitchenAid, Breville and Kenwood
Kitchen Aid 6 qt professional. It's a beast. I have had my 5 qt bowl lift Kitchen Aid for 24 years and it still works as good as new. I still use it constantly. I got the 6 qt Pro and it is amazing with huge loads. I have many of the attachments and they all work on both mixers.
Amy, if the quality of the Breville mixer is anything like my Breville toaster, don’t expect it to last. My Chinese made $100 2-slice toaster worked just over two years before the buttons all became inoperative apparently from a circuit board failure. That LED display and countdown timer on the mixer is just another thing to go wrong. I’ll take the old fashioned slider switch on the Kitchen Aid any day. My KA from the late 1990’s is still going strong with weekly bread making and twice monthly cake or cookie making.
+Jessica Hernandez I've used both several times and it is pretty much the same. I can say that the metal bowl is a lot easier to use because it is lighter weight. The ceramic is just a little too heavy for me.
I would like to see the two kitchen Aid stand mixer one up lift and the other back lift with the test if all the attachments I think I have a 6 qt mixer
The tilt-head did shake a little. If you were mixing a heavier dough, it would probably shake a lot. I love all my KA mixers as well. Thanks for watching!
This is exactly what I wanted to see, THANKS HEAPS. btw, Pasturised eggs, are the eggs so old in the US they have to pasturise them before selling? Quite a bizarre concept from an Australian point of view.
Thanks for watching. No, not all eggs are pasteurized. It is an option to buy them like this in case you are concerned about salmonella. Some dishes don't cook the eggs at high enough heat to be food safe. Meringues are an example. Luckily, egg whites are 'relatively' safe from salmonella as it is more common in the yolks, but it can still come from the whites.
Depends on the mixer. Some 5 quart mixers can hardly handle 4 cups of flour. Others can handle more. It is not just the size of the bowl but how much power and torque of the mixer.
The KA is a nice mixer. I really like mine. It does have issues but I guess everything does. If you don't make bread dough too often, either one of these mixers is a good option.
Seems like you should use a higher speed to mix dough. Especially when you hear the motor grind you need to give it more power. Also, I find if you use the back of the knife when leveling off ingredients then you get a more accurate measure.
The manual states that you should not go over speed 2 with bread dough. I don't have to measure that precisely with dough because I make it by feel. Every batch of dough is different.
I just recently bought a second hand KENWOOD a702 made in the 70's or late 60's I cleaned it up (seemed like it had never been properly cleaned of gunked on food in the mixer body) and it is still a beast. It came with a meat grinder too. Everything is heavy duty. Looks wise it is kind of ugly, but it will probably outlive me.
Thank you Amy! I just purchased a 5 qt. 500 pro kitchen aid mixer and love it so far. In your opinion, do you think it can handle 2 loaves of bread? I'm afraid to try and have it shake or ride up off the bowl. I'm new at making bread. It has a 425 motor. Love your videos, Ty
+Evelyn Martinez I've made two loaves of bread in my Professional 500. It worked fine just keep it on a very low speed like no more than a 2. If it looks like it is bogging down, I would take it out and finish it by hand. Thanks for watching and please let me know how you like your Pro 500!
This is a fantastic review, it is really refreshing to see a comparison without any bias towards either product and simply reviewed based on performance and a little on personal taste looks wise. Thanks very much, you have made up my mind, I think as I want to bake breads and pizza dough often I think I will have to go with the more expensive bowl lift version $846 ;'( hope it lasts a very long time. Now searching to see if I can find if you did a review of this mixer. :-)
If you want to make a lot of bread doughs, I would stay away from the bowl-lift type mixers. It seems like every model that I tested the mixer head would reallymove around. I am not sure if that is a problem...I worry though over time if this would get the mixer head out of alignment or something. I am amazed at the price for the bowl lift!!! Here in the US, you can get one for around $300. I did a review of the Pro 600 against the Bosch Universal. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/c_BOi0Q61qA/видео.html
My Breville Scraper Mixer Pro came with a 5 year standard warranty. It’s still going strong after 10 years of use. I have calculated that I have used it for mixing cakes, brownies, cookies, ice-cream, mashed potatoes etc, etc for approximately 2600 times and it’s still going strong. PS It never moves on the bench top and never shakes or stalls. It has been a fabulous mixer since the day I bought it. It also has 1000 watts of power.
Hi Amy, I meant to say it's a 5 plus professional KA mixer. I would like your opinion , wondering if I could make 2 loaves of bread without having a problem. Motor is 425. Thank you for sharing your videos, love them
I can answer that one: Yes, you can make two loaves of bread with your Pro 5 Plus. You just don't want to make a recipe that uses more than 7 cups of flour. The real key to this, is to start with three quarters of the flour, then add a tablespoon at a time as the mixer is running, JUST until the dough clears the sides and bottom of the bowl. That's as stiff as you want to make it, and you want to keep the flour it at less than 7 cups. After that, just run it on speed 2 until the dough is nice, smooth, and workable. Look in the owner's manual that came with your mixer, and start with the basic white bread. Do that a few times, until you get the feel of your machine and can understand its limits. Then, you can try other things. Oh by the way: the French bread recipe in the owner's manual calls for too much flour. Keep that one at less than 6 cups.
I'm a die hard kitchen aid fan. I bought mine 20 years ago. it's an ultra power 4.5 qt, white with a red band. I'd originally put it in my trunk as I left Boscov's (local dept store) with it but turned off the car to retrieve it from the trunk so that it could ride in the front seat with me. I don't imagine I'll ever part with it except to give it to my daughter. I really want an 8 qt commercial one though.
Thanks For The Review I've Been A Kitchenaid Guy Since I Could Speak, But I was considering the breville but I'm sticking with kitchenaid, I'm hoping for a artisan mini because I have a small kitchen at home, plus I'm 11. PS. Amy I Love Your Videos, I watched the gold touch pan unboxing and added them to my Christmas list! I watch the unboxing reviews and completions
Kitchenaids are generally a safe bet. If you can get one on sale, then all the better. The mini is really small (3.5 quart), but significantly overpriced. Comes in a wide variety of colors. Can you fit a Classic Plus instead? It's 4.5 quarts, so a bit bigger but not much ( and much cheaper). For people with really tiny kitchens, then usually a stand mixer of any size may be too big. Thanks for watching. Learning to cook young is a good thing to do. Are you learning from scratch or can your mom cook really good?
LOL! Believe it or not...some of them I got really lucky on the prices. I even got one for free...the Pro 600. You can find some good deals out there if you hunt for them.
What a great video! I'm a big bread baker, but I also want something that can do it all. Due to your conclusion what do you recommend as a stand mixer that is GREAT for dough kneading?
Tammy Koo if youre gonna be using it for kneading you should get kitchen aid pro 600 or the kitchen aid pro6000hd or kitchen aid commercial stand mixer
I agree. For bread, I would look at the KA Commercial, the Bosch Universal or the Ankarsrum. I should be having a review of the new Bosch and the Ankarsum near the end of the year. I asked Santa for both of them so we will see if he comes through...hint...hint Eric! LOL!
This model is no longer made. The current model is the Bakery Chef but Breville is only selling it on their website. It is about $400 in the US. Thanks for watching!
I think the kitchenaid is sexy. They have many colors if not sold out on qvc. You need the industrial for a big batch. The artisan stand mixer is one you make one loaf. For people who only make one loaf at a time. I love kitchenbaid.
I own a KA artisan , and I use it to knead bread dough, I never had any of this issues , I think there's a few things to know if you're planning to make bread in this , you can't go above or below speed two for kneading ( the manual says that) , and if you're using all purpose flour , the max quantity is 6 cups with whole Wheat I think it's less , keep that in mind with ur artisan and you won't get any Grinding , jumping or weird sounds. , Great review!! Don't know why yours throws the dough out :( , have you checked the height of the tilt head?
@@AmyLearnsToCook I read something about the artisan that were made before the last two years , that had a lot of issues ( IDK if it's true or not) , but maybe it's true and the older artisans has this issue. I got mine recently , and it works fine.
And every 5 minutes of kneading I turn off the mixer , scrape the dough hook, move the dough of possition and continue kneading, don't know if that makes a difference
Great review Amy I love these. I still think that the kitchenaid is the one. The Breville mixer is certainly quieter though, but I don't like hoe it shakes and it doesn't scrape the bowl.
+FitAnge S I really wanted to like the Breville but the KA performed better overall. I was surprised by the Breville because the tilt head really bounced around a lot.
I think the problem with the dough kneading is two things, or at least I would do two things different. The speed on the the Breville was way too low, and the dough is too stiff. I think higher speed and a softer dough would create a much better kneading action. Not that I think planetary mixers are good dough kneaders, they are definately not compared to good old Bosch. But to get a good knead in a planetary, the dough needs some serious violent handling. I do think the Breville would jump off the counter at higher speeds. I sort of remember seing some tests done of that mixer, and it would jump everywhere. The Kitchenaid, yes, the dough again was too stiff and the speed too low. But that dough moving over the hook would most likely not improve with higher speed. Because I had a Hotpoint mixer, and it used Kitchenaid whisk, beater, dough hook and splash guard (or at least it was exactly similar), and my dough always come over the hook and almost ended out of the bowl and on the floor. Speed did not improve on that. I did make even larger doughs, way over the max limit. But it did never do a good kneading job. Not worse than Kitchenaid and Breville, just the same. And that is way too bad. I'm a bread baker, and not a frequent cake baker, so I did struggle every time with my planetary mixer, and made a mess everywhere. No wonder I bought a Bosch instead. Which is pure hallelujah for bread compared to planetary mixers. But Bosch Universal Plus is not the best cake baker. The bowl is really big, it has no handle (I have the steel bowl, and there is nothing to grip on to), and it has that center pole which make it more difficult to get things out of the bowl. It is lots of work to clean that big bowl, and in Europe we don't have the cake baking accessories you have in America, like the scraper attachment and the cake and cookie paddles. So I have to either use the whisks or the dough hook to make cake, and hand scrape the bowl. No, a planetary is better for single batches of cakes, in my opinion. At least easier to clean. For those big batches of cakes and cookies, and with your American attachments, I guess the Bosch is better. I can't wait to see your review on your newest Breville purchase! I tried to google Breville Bakery Chef, but could not find that it is available in my country. But suddenly I found Sage Bakery Boss (which seems to be their newest model). Hmm, sounds similar, and looked similar by the picture. Yes, I discovered that we have the Breville mixers under the name of Sage (which I think is a UK brand). Breville are probably sold as Sage mixers in all of Europe. So if other Europeans try to find Breville, search for Sage instead. It is annoying that they keep changing name everywhere. We have Bjørn Teddy, Varimixer Teddy and Alexanderwerk. Maybe the Bjørn Teddy mixer is sold under even more names, that is just the three I know of. When are you going to put a Bjørn/Varimixer/Alexanderwerk Teddy to the test? Never heard of it? Well, they say it is the best stand mixer. And it is not cheap. Well, worth the money, the Danish people say. But here you have it: varimixer.com/produkt/teddy/
The manuals on these mixers say that you should not go over speed 2 when kneading bread dough. I've never seen the Varimixer. I don't think they sell it here in the US.
I have had a Kitchenaide for more than 30 years. I love it, but I do not think that any of the mixers are built for kneading dough. I have the tilt head, but I would love to have the bowl lift. I have all the Kitchenaid appliances and swear by all of them. When it comes to kneading dough I think you need a much stronger motor.
The bowl lift is better at kneading bread but they still have issues. It is frustrating because there really isn't a rock solid mixer out there for home use. I wish I could fine one! Thanks for watching!
Amy, thanks for all you do. Because of you, I bought 3 6 Qt kitchen mixers! I gifted 2 of them to my children and one for me! NOW I have a 17 grandson
In culinary school and high school, cooks wonderfully for the family, so will buy him his own kitchen aid for graduation! Thank you so so much, have learned so much from you!
A grateful grandma 💕
I have the Breville Scraper Mixer Pro. I have owned it for 10 years now. I use it for mixing jobs at least 5 times per week, every week of the year. That’s approximately 260 mixing jobs every year for the past 10 years! = 2600 uses! ...and it’s still going strong in 2021. Does a fantastic job every time. Great respect for the Breville.
PS I also love Kenwood.
I have a red artisan and like your pinkie i think it works really well. i made a batch of bread dough yesterday and the head was shaking a bit even after i locked it but it works really well and combined it.
This was a great challenge video. I, myself, have the KitchenAid tilt head mixer, and yes, it’s a bit annoying when the double batch of bread dough rises up over the attachment, and I have to stop it to push it back down, but it ultimately does kneed pretty nicely. The tilt head also does start to buck a lot, which REALLY unnerves me, but there is also a video, by KitchenAid on how to possibly fix this...which I just tried, and will be making a loaf soon, so, we shall see if the ‘fix’ actually worked. I DO make bread often, so, I may also look into possibly (if I can afford it) getting a bowl lift mixer. Maybe. Thanks again for your review video. It was great. 😌👍🏽👏🏽
Thank you very informative and I believe unbiased and professional review. Very appreciated 😀
Thanks for watching Kevin!
I have had no issue at all making bread dough in my kitchenaid artisan using 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups of flour and never had any issue, especially once I adjusted my attachment heights that stopped all the jumping, I never even have to spend to much time handling my dough after kneading it in the kitchenaid, I just roll it into a ball and put it in a bowl to rise. I think adjusting the attachment position would help fix a lot of the issues noted for the kitchenaid, as I haven't had a single issue making anything with mine once getting the proper height set
do you still like the mixer?
@@elizabethqu7592 still completely in love with it!! Use it at least once a week if not more!
What is the proper height when mixing bread dough?
@@paigen87 how do you adjust the attachment heights?
@@Nnyleenoh There's a little screw near the hinge of the mixer head that adjusts the attachment height. There's something called the dime test that if you look up a video on how to do it, will better explain how to fix the problem.
Amy, Thanks for doing this comparison. It was very helpful.
Thanks John! I am glad that it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips, I bought a kitchenaid recently and I can not wait to get started. A hug here from Brazil
You will love your KitchenAid. Have you used it yet?
Kitchenaid head shaking can be fixed easily. Just lift its head and you will see one adjustable, big screw at the joint. Just tighten it little bit and it will stop shaking. But over the period of time it will come again. This problem is not just with kitchenaid but with all head lift up mixers.
Thanks for doing this comparison Amy. I do mix and knead 2 loaves of bread in my KA 5 qt Artisan mixer and it seems to handle it ok. I just think the C shape dough hooks do not knead as well as the spiral ones.
+tuberfying I agree that the spiral one does a much better job. Have you had any trouble with the tilt head moving around?
+AmyLearnsToCook No, not too bad. Only slightly when I've had a lot of stiff dough. I just never turn it up past #2 when doing more than one loaf.
Hi Amy. Thank you for doing a sound comparison. That’s so important to me with my dodgy ears!
Breville have a new one out called the Bakery Chef Hub. It has a hub for attachments, although only has 4 attachments so far. I’d love to see a comparison of that one with the KitchenAid if you can.
Amy, Kitchenaid says that most often climbing up the dough hook indicates that the dough is fully kneaded. Otherwise, Kitchenaid recommends adding 1 T of flour at a time to stop the climbing dough. P.S. I enjoy your videos.
Kenwood Cooking Chef. Never hesitates on a batch of bread or pizza dough. Never worry about walking away for 20 minute knead and something breaking or overheating. Probably overkill for my needs, but it amazes me how some of these top-dollar mixers cannot perform the basic function they were built for. The kenny can knead bread dough all day long, but I also use it to culture butter and yogurt and cook a mean bolognese. It's strange how little attention is given to Kenwood in the USA, but I guess that's marketing money. Glad to see you openly acknowledged this in your Kenwood review, and yours is limited by the voltage there! 240 volts here makes 1500 watts ;)
I am a baker with over 20 years experience. My opinion is if you make dough often enough and can afford it, invest in a commercial mixer. You will pay double but will blow these little machines out of the water. Otherwise save your money and knead by hand. These machines are not designed for heavy dough, just enough for a single loaf or a couple pizzas
Very interesting, thanks. May I please ask which commercial model would be OK for home use (preferably one that doesn't weigh 100 pounds.) Thanks.
video was very informative for me, I have never used or owned a stand mixer and was looking around for top rated products because I am learning to cook/bake and only want to use the best equipment and ingredients, and your video really put the top mixers on the market to the test so thank you for that. I look forward to viewing your other videos to see which mixer is best for me. Thank you Amy, people like me really needed to see this.
Thanks! This video was a lot of fun! I have a weird obsession with stand mixers! LOL!
Me and my mom have always had a kitchen aid mixer . The artisan to be specific, but we bought a proline mixer ! We love it it's over 1 year old ! We are moving Amy and my kitchen is going down to like 7 cabinets thank goodness I don't have to much .
+Sean Young Hey Sean! Is the Proline a 7 quart? Sorry to hear that you will be having a smaller kitchen but you can still make some tasty meals even in the smallest kitchen. I cook in my RV on our camping trips and I have absolutely no room...but we bake pies, etc. I hope everything is going well for you Sean!
Thanks yea . I know I'm kind of happy . It's not that small . Plus I have 1 big pantry and a breakfast nook , so ,we may use that as a extra prep space !
Hello Amy as always nice video!! Just recently, KitchenAid gave us a preview of a newer stand mixer but this newer one is going to be a miniature version of the 5 qt Artisan. They call this new stand mixer the "Mini Artisan" model & it's going to be released sometime in June I think.
I just want to know what mixer can handle wholewheat dough?
I'm concerned about the placement of the cooling grill on the Breville, directly over the bowl. Is it an air inlet or an air exhaust?
Question : Hi Amy … Do you have any info on where I can purchase the Breville Bakery Chef …I cannot find it anywhere … What has happened to this mixer …All searches say dobt know when or if they will ever be back in stock ?!
Amy have you compared the kitchenaid pro vs kenwood chef titanium?
I can get the breville scraper mixer pro for really cheap, half the price of the KitchenAid, so I'm not sure if I should go for it, or just go for some other cheap mixer that isnt breville or wait for the kitchenaid
although the dough is very very dry, crumbly dry until kneaded
I found the dough hook would not gather the dough on my six cups whole wheat recipe and I returned it to the store as I have an old braun mixer that handles it ok. Making one loaf is not worth it.
I have a 25 + year old Artisan mixer. I am not a huge baker, but use it often enough. It is starting to sound a bit rough and I am going to look into having it serviced. Thought I might want a new mixer so started looking at reviews and had just about landed on the Breville, so wanted to see my existing mixer go head to head with it. After watching this, I also continued to research and wanted to know where they were made. Kitchen Aid is made in Ohio/USA and Breville although designed and engineered in Australia is made in China. So I will stick with a Kitchen Aid when and if I need a new stand mixer.
Hi Amy, when you do the cream in the kitchenaid, it seems quite a small recipe. do you know if its meant to be able to fill most of the bowl? i note they advertise as 9 cup flour capacity. Im just wondering if theres a point buying a big mixer that only does a small batch (ie 12 serve cake )
I usually only do about 1 or 2 cups of whipped cream because that it all that Eric can eat before it would go bad. It can do more if you are baking. How large of a batch do you make on a regular basis?
Which mixer is the best at creaming butter?
thank you Amy for the review you have made it a lot easier for me to make a choice.
+Sharon Gray Thanks for watching Sharon!
Amy I tried your bread dough recipe in my kitchenaid artisan and it did not do what yours did It knead perfectly.
Great review but with the kitchenaid the flex scraper doesn't come with the machine, or does it now?
Back 10 yrs ago the only place i could find it was on amazon.
Have you tried the 5qt cuisinart mixer, the one with the timer?
I think it came out about 10 yrs ago.
My question is why you change the bowl for the bread dough with kitchenaid, please tell me why u didn’t use the ceramic bowl
melodie I was thinking about buying mixer and thanks for your version of kitchen aid mixer was great now I know what. to check for and what buy. Thank You very much.
Do you think the Breville BEM820CB Scraper Mixer Twin Food Mixer is better for dough??
Did you use the metal scrapper in snicker doodle? Because there are two types of paddle of Breville. And what's the difference in using the two paddle of Breville?
Ill be getting breville scraper mixer pro soon😍😍😍❤
Love my Kitchen Aid! I got it as a gift from my parents when I got my fist apartment 31 yrs ago! It still works great. It is the white and boy do I see the pretty colors and want one ha ha but this is a treasured gift.
I ordered mine off of QVC and the scraper cane with it already highly recommend
Hi Amy and Eric;
I don't get much RUclips time these days, but when I do it's alway fun to watch your videos. Amython today! Yea!
Be Blessed!
+Leanne Bourgeois "Amython", good idea. I never thought of that. What is your Amython consisting of today? Panthon, Mixerthon, or is Amy actually cooking something? Thanks for watching. Glad you find us entertaining :-)
+Eric Learns to Cook ===Just playing catch-up. I enjoy them all.
+Leanne Bourgeois I just like it when our viewers create new words. Yours was very clever and cute.
+Eric Learns to Cook ==Glad to help. BTW-I saw in your survival video some guy complaining about you being in front of the camera. Well too bad for him! I enjoy seeing both of you in the videos. keep them coming please.
+Leanne Bourgeois :-) I'm glad you like to see both of us. I know the one viewer was simply stating his preference to seeing Amy is all. No harm. After all, she has 14.7K subscribers and I have 0.05 K subscribers. Since Amy's not feeling very well, I'll do two videos tomorrow and hope to get them up Sunday. Thank you for all your support. It is greatly appreciated.
I noticed you didn’t use a spoon to add flour to your measuring cup...I have always heard that flour needed to be measured this way to be sure you have the appropriate amount of flour. Is this true or false?
Darian Schneider i heard the same thing as well. But I use a kitchen scale now to get exact measurements since that is the most accurate way to go. But if you don’t have a scale the spooning of the flour works too
It is true
Since cup scale are based on volume, which can change from ingredient to ingredient
In addition: if you push your cup into a bag of flour you automatically press the flour which results in more flour in one cup since volume measurements are not as certain as weight measurements
@@Darlinqslittleworld NO ! You don't say? You learn something new every day, or should. I purchased a very little scale - to measure the weight of my birdie. I read a good way to see if your bird is healthy is to weigh them, and the little digital scale was perfect for that. Although my bird did always look at me like I was crazy when I put him on the scale and stepped back. Birds are nutty, but very unique and clever.
what is the temperature of the oven and how many min. do i need to cook the bread and gow many hours do i need to let the dough to rise
Good video but she is a very rough kind of person handling the machine. May be she did a good toughness test. Hopefully everything done without bias. But why she removed the cover while the machine is working. But what machine you recommended apart all this machine.
any insight into whether I could use a Kitchenaid glass bowl for the breville mixer?
No. You can't use a KA bowl on the Breville. Breville might have one available because one comes with the upgraded model. Thanks for watching!
I picked up the artisan two days ago and wish I had seen this video before I purchased it
I actually got a Breville instead since i'm not planning to make bread that regularly.
I don't know why things like that happen to her. My Grandma has an artisan just like that, she owns a bakery so she also has Hobart mixers where she can week up to 100 egg whites and she has KA Pro 700 and the artisan, I've seen her do a lot of different doughs double batches and cookies and whipping and never happens something like that. She also tends to complain when tilt heads move but that's actually meant to be, otherwise unyielding heads or unyielding arms for bowl lifts can be dangerous, forces the motor too much so they all are designed that way, also I'm not sure about Breville but KA has a circuit that amps the torque of the mixer if necessary and in case not even that works it has a sort of kill switch that breaks inside to prevent the motor to be damaged and a technician can easily change it, also remember that it's easier to find KA spare parts if ever needed compared to Breville. Don't be afraid, it is a perfect mixer for home use, it's beautiful, and it will get the job done really well. Check other chefs videos and they all use KA mixers and they don't nag, complain for things like that because they know how they are built and the purpose of the design, and I'm sure Breville builds them the same way as prevention.
im torn between the 6qt professional and the artesan. the 6 wont shake i think by it being a stand alone what do you think.. great review
Yeah...the 6 quart will not move around on the mixer head like the Artisan. Do you intend to make bread with it? The only drawback with the 6 quart is it louder than the other models.
Did she lock it in place, I make cookies all the time and never get shaking, and that's on my Kitchenaid Artisan
+Margaret Freeman Yes I locked it in place.
The only thing I can say is that mine is an older machine, maybe they are not making them as well anymore like very thing else now a days.....
I agree. They definitely don't make the mixers like they used to. I would hold on to yours!
I am willing to bet that that isn't grease in your dough from the KA. I got a brand new one as well and the steal bowl has some sort of residue in it that has to be cleaned with lemon juice, or vinegar. The first time I used mine I only cleaned it with soap and water and I was getting grey/black stuff in my dough. After doing research I found out it was from the bowl. After cleaning it with a scrub sponge and lemon juice it didn't do it anymore.
+Valerie Evans I ran the bowl through the dishwasher so it shouldn't have had any residue.
AmyLearnsToCook is oxidative that the dishwasher won't take off. it needs the Lemon juice or vinegar
Great review Amy. Regardless, I love my 6 qt Bowl Lift Stand Mixer.
Thanks!!
AmyLearnsToCook You're very welcome
Hi !please help me i want buy one good one mixer to do bread... Please let me known good one thank you!
I preferred the Breville...but I think too much flour for both mixers and the recipe...the dough looked too stiff to me...thanks!
which was your pic between the classic and the artisan?
I like them both. The main thing is the Artisan comes with a bowl that has a handle and the Classic doesn't...but you can buy extra bowls for it. There is not a lot of size difference between the two.
great demonstration! When you show that the Kitchenmaid shakes during the cookie dough demo, did you have the lock feature on? I find my artisan kitchenmaid shakes during a variety of mixing doughs (cookies, doughs, cakes); however, if i use the lock feature, the shaking is dramatically reduced.
+Elke Wheeler It was locked. I was really surprised how much it moved around. I usually use the bowl lift type KitchenAid. I think they are better for bread.
+Robert Knight These were brand new out of the box.
AmyLearnsToCook I agree that shouldn't happen with a brand new applience but on occasion it does happen. Maybe KitchenAid tilt heads were made better before the 2000's.
Love the Mixer Challenges :)
hey amy im planning to get a new mixer but i saw the new bakery boss from breville should i get breville or kitchenaid
I have a Breville Scraper Mixer Pro. We don't have the Bakery Boss available here in the U.S. Is there a difference in the two? I would choose a KitchenAid over the Scraper Mixer Pro.
The Bakery Boss is their newer model, presumably learning from issues with the Scraper Mixer. It's been out since about April in Australia. Main difference appears to be a heavier duty, more powerful, higher torque motor with all metal gears and more gear teeth. So, in theory, it should perform a lot better than the Scraper Mixer Pro. It's also a lot more expensive - approx A$200 more recommended retail than the Scraper Mixer Pro is in Australia.
Hi Amy, did you ever tested the sunbeam planetary mixmaster? with 6 speed and the 600 watt motor.
I haven't tested the Sunbeam planetary. I don't think it is available in the U.S. or at least I have never seen it.
Breville manual says the rocking is due to using the scraper mixer blade on thick stuff - its for light stuff, use different blade they say
I've used this mixer for over a year now and I can say that my opinion hasn't changed. It is a good little mixer but not great for heavy doughs or batters.
Ok so I noticed that the KitchenAids is much faster than the Breville, which could be the reason for the kitchenAids louder sound. I'm almost sure that the Breville is a D/C motor mixer, which I prefer as it will typically have a nice slow start easing into the power insteag of jump to a power setting.
also, I wonder if you've watched America's test kitchens latest mixer testing video. the breville was tested as I recall, and it died after repeated bread doughs.
+Rob Marchetti I saw that video. I was so surprised that it did so badly.
What mixer do you use for your bread making
Amazing video... for daily basis dough making from wheat flour, can you please suggest a nice mixer... I am in Australia and found these 3 brands - KitchenAid, Breville and Kenwood
Kitchen Aid 6 qt professional. It's a beast. I have had my 5 qt bowl lift Kitchen Aid for 24 years and it still works as good as new. I still use it constantly. I got the 6 qt Pro and it is amazing with huge loads. I have many of the attachments and they all work on both mixers.
did you know when bakery boss is out in philippines
I am not sure. I think they only sell it in Australia because Breville is an Australian company. I wish they sold it here in the US.
I am getting the breville and the black one on amazon is only $199 in the USA
Is it the 16 cup model?
it is the 5 quart model
Ethan Nguyen do you love it still?
Do you have any attachments for the hub on the kitchen aid
I have the spiralizer, the shredding cones, and the meat grinder.
Amy, if the quality of the Breville mixer is anything like my Breville toaster, don’t expect it to last. My Chinese made $100 2-slice toaster worked just over two years before the buttons all became inoperative apparently from a circuit board failure. That LED display and countdown timer on the mixer is just another thing to go wrong. I’ll take the old fashioned slider switch on the Kitchen Aid any day. My KA from the late 1990’s is still going strong with weekly bread making and twice monthly cake or cookie making.
enjoyed watching this video...was looking at getting the breville but will now start looking at a larger machine I think..thanks
Thanks for watching Becky!
beckyluvstoscrapnsew same! Great video..made my decision...
Do you think the kitchenaid would of been quieter if the metal bowl would of been used?
+Jessica Hernandez I've used both several times and it is pretty much the same. I can say that the metal bowl is a lot easier to use because it is lighter weight. The ceramic is just a little too heavy for me.
Hi Amy love the way the breville look but it shakes could imaging when making dough? :0 I love my kitchen Aid stand up lift mixer thanks great review
I would like to see the two kitchen Aid stand mixer one up lift and the other back lift with the test if all the attachments I think I have a 6 qt mixer
The tilt-head did shake a little. If you were mixing a heavier dough, it would probably shake a lot. I love all my KA mixers as well. Thanks for watching!
I haven't done a direct comparison of the tilt head and bowl lifts. I might do one soon. Is your mixer the Pro 600?
This is exactly what I wanted to see, THANKS HEAPS. btw, Pasturised eggs, are the eggs so old in the US they have to pasturise them before selling? Quite a bizarre concept from an Australian point of view.
Thanks for watching. No, not all eggs are pasteurized. It is an option to buy them like this in case you are concerned about salmonella. Some dishes don't cook the eggs at high enough heat to be food safe. Meringues are an example. Luckily, egg whites are 'relatively' safe from salmonella as it is more common in the yolks, but it can still come from the whites.
Salmonella is only really a problem for old eggs, certainly fresh is best.
what should i get breville or kitchenaid?
What is the most amount of flour can you mix in a 5quart mixer
Depends on the mixer. Some 5 quart mixers can hardly handle 4 cups of flour. Others can handle more. It is not just the size of the bowl but how much power and torque of the mixer.
Thanks
and when i am watching on youtube,cooking show they all got kitchenaid and america's test kitchen crowned the kitchenaid as king of mixers
The KA is a nice mixer. I really like mine. It does have issues but I guess everything does. If you don't make bread dough too often, either one of these mixers is a good option.
Seems like you should use a higher speed to mix dough. Especially when you hear the motor grind you need to give it more power. Also, I find if you use the back of the knife when leveling off ingredients then you get a more accurate measure.
The manual states that you should not go over speed 2 with bread dough. I don't have to measure that precisely with dough because I make it by feel. Every batch of dough is different.
I just recently bought a second hand KENWOOD a702 made in the 70's or late 60's I cleaned it up (seemed like it had never been properly cleaned of gunked on food in the mixer body) and it is still a beast. It came with a meat grinder too. Everything is heavy duty. Looks wise it is kind of ugly, but it will probably outlive me.
Thank you Amy! I just purchased a 5 qt. 500 pro kitchen aid mixer and love it so far. In your opinion, do you think it can handle 2 loaves of bread? I'm afraid to try and have it shake or ride up off the bowl. I'm new at making bread. It has a 425 motor. Love your videos, Ty
+Evelyn Martinez I've made two loaves of bread in my Professional 500. It worked fine just keep it on a very low speed like no more than a 2. If it looks like it is bogging down, I would take it out and finish it by hand.
Thanks for watching and please let me know how you like your Pro 500!
This is a fantastic review, it is really refreshing to see a comparison without any bias towards either product and simply reviewed based on performance and a little on personal taste looks wise. Thanks very much, you have made up my mind, I think as I want to bake breads and pizza dough often I think I will have to go with the more expensive bowl lift version $846 ;'( hope it lasts a very long time. Now searching to see if I can find if you did a review of this mixer. :-)
If you want to make a lot of bread doughs, I would stay away from the bowl-lift type mixers. It seems like every model that I tested the mixer head would reallymove around. I am not sure if that is a problem...I worry though over time if this would get the mixer head out of alignment or something.
I am amazed at the price for the bowl lift!!! Here in the US, you can get one for around $300. I did a review of the Pro 600 against the Bosch Universal. Here is the link:
ruclips.net/video/c_BOi0Q61qA/видео.html
Thanks. :-)
oops I am sorry I meant the tilt head. The bowl lifts are better for dough...the tilt heads tend to move around along on the mixer head.
Thanks, I was a little confused :D
Does Breville come with same kind of warranty? I look at build quality.
I am not sure what the warranty is on the Breville. You can probably find out from their website or calling their customer service line.
My Breville Scraper Mixer Pro came with a 5 year standard warranty. It’s still going strong after 10 years of use. I have calculated that I have used it for mixing cakes, brownies, cookies, ice-cream, mashed potatoes etc, etc for approximately 2600 times and it’s still going strong. PS It never moves on the bench top and never shakes or stalls. It has been a fabulous mixer since the day I bought it.
It also has 1000 watts of power.
Hi Amy, I meant to say it's a 5 plus professional KA mixer. I would like your opinion , wondering if I could make 2 loaves of bread without having a problem. Motor is 425. Thank you for sharing your videos, love them
I can answer that one: Yes, you can make two loaves of bread with your Pro 5 Plus. You just don't want to make a recipe that uses more than 7 cups of flour. The real key to this, is to start with three quarters of the flour, then add a tablespoon at a time as the mixer is running, JUST until the dough clears the sides and bottom of the bowl. That's as stiff as you want to make it, and you want to keep the flour it at less than 7 cups.
After that, just run it on speed 2 until the dough is nice, smooth, and workable. Look in the owner's manual that came with your mixer, and start with the basic white bread. Do that a few times, until you get the feel of your machine and can understand its limits. Then, you can try other things. Oh by the way: the French bread recipe in the owner's manual calls for too much flour. Keep that one at less than 6 cups.
thank you Amy for the review big love from Morocco
+fleur Canada Thanks for watching!!! I really appreciate it!
I'm a die hard kitchen aid fan. I bought mine 20 years ago. it's an ultra power 4.5 qt, white with a red band. I'd originally put it in my trunk as I left Boscov's (local dept store) with it but turned off the car to retrieve it from the trunk so that it could ride in the front seat with me. I don't imagine I'll ever part with it except to give it to my daughter. I really want an 8 qt commercial one though.
+Rob Marchetti I really love my KA too! My first one that I ever got was a white Pro 500 bowl lift. I still have it.
+AmyLearnsToCook thank you this helped I think I might look at a Breville on Amazon
Is your pink stand mixer the Guava Glaze color?
It is Raspberry Ice. Unfortunately it is discontinued. I really like the color. Thanks for watching!
The ceramic pot is certainly much heavier than the stainless steel pot? Or? Greetings from Spain.
Thanks For The Review I've Been A Kitchenaid Guy Since I Could Speak, But I was considering the breville but I'm sticking with kitchenaid, I'm hoping for a artisan mini because I have a small kitchen at home, plus I'm 11.
PS. Amy I Love Your Videos, I watched the gold touch pan unboxing and added them to my Christmas list! I watch the unboxing reviews and completions
Kitchenaids are generally a safe bet. If you can get one on sale, then all the better. The mini is really small (3.5 quart), but significantly overpriced. Comes in a wide variety of colors. Can you fit a Classic Plus instead? It's 4.5 quarts, so a bit bigger but not much ( and much cheaper). For people with really tiny kitchens, then usually a stand mixer of any size may be too big. Thanks for watching. Learning to cook young is a good thing to do. Are you learning from scratch or can your mom cook really good?
Kitchenaid did it again! 🙌 Great review Amy!
+Justin Johnson Thanks Justin! The KA came through again!!
Can I Ask What do you do to all of your mixers there so many
+charles gutierrez Check out my pan room video and you'll see where they all are housed
+AmyLearnsToCook Can I Have One of your mixer? lol
LOL! Believe it or not...some of them I got really lucky on the prices. I even got one for free...the Pro 600. You can find some good deals out there if you hunt for them.
+AmyLearnsToCook Hahahahahahahaha i have a K.A Mixer though but i love to watch ur mixer challenge its very interesting
+AmyLearnsToCook Hahahahahahahaha i have a K.A Mixer though but i love to watch ur mixer challenge its very interesting
You should try out the Wilfa Probaker - A Norwegian stand mixer. It is very interesting.
Awesome review! I am learning to cook too. I love your white bowl, where did you get that one? I see others, but there not the same.
Hi Mary! Here is a link to the white bowl for the Artisan: amzn.to/2YMOcWn
@@AmyLearnsToCook Thank you, Amy!
I glad i found you! Love your channel. And I planning to buy a Stand Mixer, your videos help me a lot. What about Kenwood stand mixer?
+Florcy Ayala Sorry i'm glad
+Florcy Ayala Thanks for watching! I've never used a Kenwood. Do the sell them in the US? I've seen them online but never in a store.
You can buy them online only.
What a great video! I'm a big bread baker, but I also want something that can do it all. Due to your conclusion what do you recommend as a stand mixer that is GREAT for dough kneading?
Tammy Koo if youre gonna be using it for kneading you should get kitchen aid pro 600 or the kitchen aid pro6000hd or kitchen aid commercial stand mixer
I agree. For bread, I would look at the KA Commercial, the Bosch Universal or the Ankarsrum. I should be having a review of the new Bosch and the Ankarsum near the end of the year. I asked Santa for both of them so we will see if he comes through...hint...hint Eric! LOL!
Very good video, thank you (from Algeria)
Did she say bread machine recipe? which has less water compared to regular recipes.
+Martin Ian Guzman This recipe works ok either way. The rolls came out very tasty.
I was hoping you could just film the window test so we can easily see which mixer can actually kneed.
Is it normal that my Breville mixer jumps/shakes? It's quite scary.
When comes the bread dough video with the kitchenaid commerical? :)
+Baackliinns It is on the way. I am planning to shoot it on Sunday so it should be up sometime next week.
How much is the breville
This model is no longer made. The current model is the Bakery Chef but Breville is only selling it on their website. It is about $400 in the US. Thanks for watching!
I think the kitchenaid is sexy. They have many colors if not sold out on qvc. You need the industrial for a big batch. The artisan stand mixer is one you make one loaf. For people who only make one loaf at a time. I love kitchenbaid.
The Breville 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I own a KA artisan , and I use it to knead bread dough, I never had any of this issues , I think there's a few things to know if you're planning to make bread in this , you can't go above or below speed two for kneading ( the manual says that) , and if you're using all purpose flour , the max quantity is 6 cups with whole Wheat I think it's less , keep that in mind with ur artisan and you won't get any Grinding , jumping or weird sounds. , Great review!! Don't know why yours throws the dough out :( , have you checked the height of the tilt head?
I have 2 Artisan mixers and they both have this issue. I don't run it over a 2. I usually make bread in a larger mixer.
@@AmyLearnsToCook I read something about the artisan that were made before the last two years , that had a lot of issues ( IDK if it's true or not) , but maybe it's true and the older artisans has this issue. I got mine recently , and it works fine.
@@AmyLearnsToCook and what you say is true , for big quantities is not good.
And every 5 minutes of kneading I turn off the mixer , scrape the dough hook, move the dough of possition and continue kneading, don't know if that makes a difference
I know I know , you shouldn't be paying a lot of money for a stand mixer to be scrapping or watching after it
Great review Amy I love these. I still think that the kitchenaid is the one. The Breville mixer is certainly quieter though, but I don't like hoe it shakes and it doesn't scrape the bowl.
+FitAnge S I really wanted to like the Breville but the KA performed better overall. I was surprised by the Breville because the tilt head really bounced around a lot.
I dont know if you have a video Kitchen Aid vrs Cuisinart stand mixers, I love the Cusinart disign
I love the pink! What did you pay for the white bowl?
It was about $60. I actually like the regular metal one better. This ceramic one is way too heavy.
I think the problem with the dough kneading is two things, or at least I would do two things different. The speed on the the Breville was way too low, and the dough is too stiff. I think higher speed and a softer dough would create a much better kneading action. Not that I think planetary mixers are good dough kneaders, they are definately not compared to good old Bosch. But to get a good knead in a planetary, the dough needs some serious violent handling. I do think the Breville would jump off the counter at higher speeds. I sort of remember seing some tests done of that mixer, and it would jump everywhere. The Kitchenaid, yes, the dough again was too stiff and the speed too low. But that dough moving over the hook would most likely not improve with higher speed. Because I had a Hotpoint mixer, and it used Kitchenaid whisk, beater, dough hook and splash guard (or at least it was exactly similar), and my dough always come over the hook and almost ended out of the bowl and on the floor. Speed did not improve on that. I did make even larger doughs, way over the max limit. But it did never do a good kneading job. Not worse than Kitchenaid and Breville, just the same. And that is way too bad. I'm a bread baker, and not a frequent cake baker, so I did struggle every time with my planetary mixer, and made a mess everywhere. No wonder I bought a Bosch instead. Which is pure hallelujah for bread compared to planetary mixers.
But Bosch Universal Plus is not the best cake baker. The bowl is really big, it has no handle (I have the steel bowl, and there is nothing to grip on to), and it has that center pole which make it more difficult to get things out of the bowl. It is lots of work to clean that big bowl, and in Europe we don't have the cake baking accessories you have in America, like the scraper attachment and the cake and cookie paddles. So I have to either use the whisks or the dough hook to make cake, and hand scrape the bowl. No, a planetary is better for single batches of cakes, in my opinion. At least easier to clean. For those big batches of cakes and cookies, and with your American attachments, I guess the Bosch is better.
I can't wait to see your review on your newest Breville purchase! I tried to google Breville Bakery Chef, but could not find that it is available in my country. But suddenly I found Sage Bakery Boss (which seems to be their newest model). Hmm, sounds similar, and looked similar by the picture. Yes, I discovered that we have the Breville mixers under the name of Sage (which I think is a UK brand). Breville are probably sold as Sage mixers in all of Europe. So if other Europeans try to find Breville, search for Sage instead.
It is annoying that they keep changing name everywhere. We have Bjørn Teddy, Varimixer Teddy and Alexanderwerk. Maybe the Bjørn Teddy mixer is sold under even more names, that is just the three I know of. When are you going to put a Bjørn/Varimixer/Alexanderwerk Teddy to the test? Never heard of it? Well, they say it is the best stand mixer. And it is not cheap. Well, worth the money, the Danish people say. But here you have it:

The manuals on these mixers say that you should not go over speed 2 when kneading bread dough. I've never seen the Varimixer. I don't think they sell it here in the US.
I have had a Kitchenaide for more than 30 years. I love it, but I do not think that any of the mixers are built for kneading dough. I have the tilt head, but I would love to have the bowl lift. I have all the Kitchenaid appliances and swear by all of them. When it comes to kneading dough I think you need a much stronger motor.
The bowl lift is better at kneading bread but they still have issues. It is frustrating because there really isn't a rock solid mixer out there for home use. I wish I could fine one! Thanks for watching!
because i saw on internet the new bakery boss have 1200 watts and much new design and little light on the head
