Mixers & Attachments

Most mixers come with a wire whip, dough hook and flat beater. Stand mixers can be more powerful than a hand mixer and will mix faster and more thoroughly. Another advantage is that because it is stationary you don’t need to stay by it-- you can start the mixing process and then leave to do something else. The advantage of a hand mixer is that you can use any of your own vessels for mixing. With electric hand mixers, all you have to do is hold the mixer in place while the movement happens automatically. For creaming butter and sugar for cakes, the cake mixer should generally use a medium setting. An electric whisk is different than a baking mixer. An electric whisk is great for beating eggs, mixing pancakes and more simple recipes. Cake mixers and baking mixers combine ingredients and can aerate them, too. Did you know that you can bake your cake in microwave ovens? Even if you don’t have a convection microwave, the normal heating mode is sufficient for baking a cake as long as you only use microwave safe cookware. Check out our toasters & ovens because you can bake cookies, brownies, and cakes in a toaster oven as long as you use a metal pan. As baking requires more precision, you may have to adjust the temperature accordingly and turn the cake once because the front temperature may not be as hot as at the back of the toaster oven.
