KitchenAid K4SSWH 4 -1/2 Quart Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this mixer yesterday for Christmas from my kids. Then I read the above review and I got a little aprehensive. Today I telephoned this number 1-800-541-6390 to ask about the attachments for this model mixer. She answered several questions and she gave me the numbers of appliance models that are compatible with the K4SS mixer. The wire whip model number is K5AW. The attachments with model numbers KSM500 and K5SS will all fit the K4SS mixer. Hope this helps.

KitchenAid C-Dough Hook, Coated Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very simply, my wife was happily making bread within minutes of opening the box. Easy to attach, fit and works perfectly. It was more difficult in selecting the correct hook to fit her machine. This one works with several models, and her's is a K4SSWH, a 4 Qt, Bowl-lift, Stand Mixer.

KitchenAid Spiral Dough Hooks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unfortunately, these reviews are not all distinguishing between the "burnished steel" and the "coated". There is a big difference. As a professional baker I use both the KitchenAid 4.5-qt and the 6-qt at home for product development. While I recommend the spiral hook as compared to the "c" hook (I have both) I do not recommend the burnished finish. Last week while I was down with the flu the burnished hook and flat beater were put into our dishwasher by mistake. They oxidized so badly that both are now a complete loss. After trying to clean them with various products and methods I called KitchenAid to see if there was anything I could do. They said "buy a replacement". Once the finish is destroyed you risk getting aluminum (lots!) into your product which is extremely unhealthy.
I also have the coated hook and the flat beater for my 4.5-qt and in ten years my only problem has been a very small spot on the beater that is beginning to wear through the coating and will need to be replaced soon.(The coating seems to be some sort of plastic coating with metal underneath.) This can be avoided by making sure it's not hitting the bowl anywhere. (You can call KitchenAid for help in making this adjustment if necessary.) I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice to get these attachments in stainless steel. But at one time KithcheAid was manufactured by Hobart, the leader in commercial mixers, and even they only make the attachments in aluminum (albeit a much high quality aluminum!).
In summary: I recommend the spiral hook over the c hook. I find the dough will still climb up the hook when kneading a lower volume of dough (under 2 lbs)in the 6-qt. (I do not recommend making dough in the Classic, 4.5-qt, as it will eventually burn out the smaller 250 watt motor.) The spiral hook is the same style as most professionals use (and I use in my bakehouse) as it provides a much better and uniform kneading action. But avoid the burnished steel if at all possible. One mistake into the dishwasher will cost you!

KitchenAid K45DH Dough Hook Replacement for KSM90 and K45 Stand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love, love, love our Kitchenaid mixer, but I'm not thrilled with the quality of the dough hooks - I'm about to order our 3rd in less than 12 months. The enamel cracks on the end of the hook, and I'm afraid that using it risks chips of enamel ending up in the finished dough. Granted - they're only $15 to replace, but I don't feel like I should need to replace it so frequently... I'd happily pay quite a bit for a stainless steel one.

Dough Mixer - 11 Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read about this gadget on the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day website, and decided to give it a try. I have a large food processor, but it seemed like a lot of parts to wash for just a few twirls of the dough, and the wooden spoon worked but was more effort than I like to expend.
This cool little gadget does an excellent job, no fuss, little effort, and it cleans up very easily. I highly recommend it.
