I have not purchased my KitchenAid yet but children love the theirs so I am giving a rating for them, knowing they have not and will not do so. I did find on kitchen aids website a number of videos that explain how to eliminate the jumping and shaking people have described in various reviews of KitchenAid models. Making these adjustments will increase your mixers performance. Since the mixers handle such a variety of materials and densities it’s necessary to be able to make these adjustments. they also have a video regarding the loose pin problem, which I was concerned about having heard so many complaints of it. Happy cooking!
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, considering making some simple Valentine’s snacks that the kids can bring to school? Whether you are making them for your own child’s lunch or as a special treat for the class, following are some snacks that are simple to transport and simple for the kids to consume once they dig in! Marshmallow-Popcorn Hearts are a simple twist on popcorn balls. With this recipe, you can skip the Karo syrup and simply melt some marshmallows instead! This quick and simple recipe is similar to Rice Krispie bars, only with popcorn instead! Here’s what you need to get started: • 10 cups popped popcorn • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter • 1 10-ounce package regular marshmallows • Red food coloring • Red colored sugar Directions • Put the popped corn (minus the unpopped kernels) into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and keep it warm in your 300 degree oven. • Melt the butter/margarine and marshmallows in a large kettle or in the microwave. (Microwave: 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stirring once) Stir the mixture until it is smooth, no lumps, and then add the red food coloring. • Stir in the popped popcorn- about half at a time. • Wait 10 minutes or so until it is cool enough to handle. • Grease individual heart shaped pans with butter. • Press the popcorn mixture into the greased pans. • Cool the popcorn hearts. Remove from pans. Sprinkle each with red colored sugar. • Wrap each individually in plastic wrap- pink or red finishes it off nicely. • Makes 9 hearts. This one is a little messy, but for an extra-special treat, exceptions can made to almost any rule. Take along a pre-packaged wet napkin in a zippered plastic bag to aid in simple clean-up. Candy Apple or Caramel Apple Valentines- 1 bag of caramels 1 pack of craft sticks (like popsicle sticks) 1 bag of apples or your choice wax paper cake decorating tool Flavored icing Melt the caramels or hard candy according to the package directions. Insert a craft stick into one end of each apple. Dip the apple into the melted caramel, covering it entirely. Lift the apple and let it drip for a few seconds and then set it on the wax paper until entirely set- about two hours) Use a cake decorating tool (or a plastic bag with a hole in the corner and a decorating tip) to write a sweet message on each apple. Wrap in plastic wrap and secure the wrap at the top of the apple with a rubber band, leaving the stick exposed as a handle. Finally, you can whip up these peppermint stars from a quick meringue batter. They make a sweet little treat that carries well in a lunch. Peppermint Stars Makes: 45 cookies Prep: 30 minutes Bake: 15 minutes Ingredients • 2 egg whites • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla • 1/4 teaspoon cream 10 speed stand mixer of tartar • 1/2 cup sugar • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract • Red food coloring (optional) Directions 1.

Add vanilla and cream of tartar to egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (tips stand straight) and sugar dissolves. Quickly beat in peppermint extract. Tint pink with several drops of red food coloring, if desired. 4. Using a pastry tube with a large star decorating tip, pipe cookies onto prepared cookie sheets (form cookies about 1-1/2 inches in diameter). Bake in a 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and let cookies dry in oven with door closed about 30 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets. Cover and store in a dry place. Makes 45 cookies.

My wife had the former/much older model of this mixer. After 15 years or so she was having a bit of trouble getting it to operate to it’s fullest ability.
Figured it was a hint for a birthday present and snagged this one up. She loved it ! Keep the wife happy = I am happy !
Excellent brand that we know and trust.
Aesthetically pleasing.
Works like a charm !
Amazon Prime made it here in time.
Couldnt ask for more.
Love this mixer. I have had this same mixer in green for years. My daughter borrowed it for months so I bought this one for her.
I purchased this item to replace an older one that was destroyed in a house fire. I was surprised when the machine started ‘jumping’ when I made a recipe that called for 6 cups of flour. I never had problems w/ the older one, but this one jumped around so much that I took it back and replaced it w/ the 6 quart model. For $300, I expected better performance. As for the 6 quart model (the Professional 600), the model is sooooo loud that I even called the manufacturer and put the phone next to the machine so they could listen. They said it was ‘normal’. Good luck if you want to use it before the rest of your family awakens. It’s loud enough to wake the entire household! Again, I am very disappointed, especially since this machine retails for $400. They sure don’t make things the way they used to!
Got a great buy on this larger size stand mixer from Amazon. I was not sure if I need this large a size, but for the money it was definitely worth it! I am not a professional baker, but I do make wedding and birthday cakes for family and sometimes I need to make a lot of frosting so I figured why not. You can make so many things with this, and it feels almost like your cheating when your doing your baking! It basically does all the work. The machine is very quiet when your operating it, and it looks nice and sleek and performs wonderfully. The only drawback to this machine is that it is so large you have to move it back and forth on the counter top because it does not fit well underneath when you actually are using it- and to move it, it is very heavy- if you have problems with your hands or arms, this would not be the machine for you. Besides that fact, I would recommend this product highly.
