    There is a use for the dough hooks before you throw them away. For those who like natural peanut butter and find it difficult or annoying to stir and mix the oil in a new jar of peanut butter - use a single dough hook on the lowest speed. I actually put a dough hook in my cordless drill at very low speed which is very slow and the bottom section of the dough hook actually scrapes the bottom of the jar.

    • @jeanvignes
      @jeanvignes Год назад +4

      Good tip. However, for the patient and lazy, just keep the sealed jar on the counter for a week and flip it top-to-bottom every day. The oil will naturally head upwards and the peanut butter proteins will head downward. Eventually, just flipping it from time to time will mix most of the oil back into the peanut butter. (If it has been sitting on a shelf for a while, you might want to flip it over and leave it lid down for the first two days after purchase.) When your patience runs out, you can use a butter knife to finish the stir in just a minute or two. Putting it into the fridge once the oil is mixed in will prevent the extreme separation from happening again before the peanut butter is consumed.

    My favorite feature for a hand mixer was the clip on storage. I think it’s just been replaced with the timer with pause function. I love that idea! Plus, snap on storage is much more common now. I always hated how the beaters went into a drawer while the mixer went into a cabinet. The storage put it all in one spot and the mixer stands upright instead of wobbly on its side. I was pleased to see both of these have the snap on storage.
    Great review. Thanks!

      Why would any manufacturer make a product that would last that long, today? They want you to come back and buy from them again. They use cheaper parts but keep the selling price high, for profit. That's what keeps them in business. The sweet spot is to make something that will last longer than a year but need replaced before 5 years old. Oh, and when has the Test Kitchen NOT recommended the most expensive product they have tested??? Hint.....pay back.

The mixers with advanced features were awful !!! How many different buttons and knobs do you have to press and why must there be a digital screen to look at? By far, the best hand mixer was also the cheapest, the KitchenAid 5 Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer. I got it in Onyx Black. I paid $50 for mine. It's $60 now. Ugh... but bar none, it's so simple. Not having vertical posts in the middle of the beaters makes declumping sticky doughs and cleaning a breeze. Never had a problem with the power, either.

    Make sure you get a hand mixer with a whisk attachment where the wire is actually a wire. If the wire is too thick or shaped like a ribbon then it will be useless for whipping cream or eggs because it will pop the air out before it even has a chance to thicken.

    I love and rely on your gadget recs and thank you for doing them! I do have an issue with this rec, though. I bought your #2 rec for hand mixers, the Cuisinart you recommended. However, it's not one I'd buy again. It's WAY too strong/powerful for being a hand mixer. I felt like I was wrestling with it to keep it in the bowl and to move it where I wanted it. It splatters food. And it's extremely loud, so much so that one should probably use ear protection if using this for longer than a minute. I can see how a tall, strong man would like the power. But for me, being a 5'3", 120lb, 49yr old woman.....this is like an airplane taking off and I'm trying to keep it on the runway, LOL. I can see older people, possibly with arthritis, being unable to manage this one. I don't even like it myself, but will keep it since I only use it a few times a year.

    I'm considering the Kitchen Aid 9 speed to make sandwich bread (non fermented doughs) and other things like cookies. I want something compact but powerful. Also, I make bread all by hand weekly.
    Is a hand mixer worth it until I can get a stand mixer, or should I just invest in the stand mixer now?

    I’m German. I take baking very seriously, bake a cake every weekend and 15 different kinds of cookies in Christmas season. I do all that with a handmixer. I don’t understand the American obsession with stand mixers. They take up too much space in the kitchen. Also the other attachments you wanted to permanently keep in the drawer: the single whisker is great for beating egg whites, or whipped cream. The dough attachments are great for heavier cookie doughs. I use the two regular whiskers for lighter cake batters.

      A cake every weekend? That's amazing. It reminds me of a time when I went to a high school friend's house, and he offered me a slice of cake his mother had made. It was delicious. It was a simple thing, totally unexpected, but the gracious ease of his hospitality has stuck in my mind for many years for some reason. He said that his mother baked a cake every week too. My mother didn't. I hope that you offer your friends slices of delicious homemade cake whene they come your house. Little acts of kindness often become fond memories.

    @ 0:45 "or these spiral shaped dough hooks....etc". Well if you are using a stand mixer and they knit your dough for 10 mins but after 10 mins you find out that it actually just got stuck to the dough hook and was circuited around for 10 mins... with the two (2) hand mixer dough hooks that will never be the case. They always knit your dough by forcing it between the hooks. Even the 10$ version does that perfectly while the 500$ Kitchenaid standmixer can make a mess of your dough. So I tend to disagree with this comment.
