Kitchen aid mixer

[ckkphoto]

I have wanted one for YEARS! My wife doesn't buy anything with out a coupon AND a manufacters rebate. Welp, yesterday she came home with one from William Sonoma that will end up costing us 200 even after rebates for the 400 watt version.

Made two pumpkin pies so far. Man I love that appliance!

Best small kitchen appliance ever! I begged and whined until my wife gave me one several years ago.
The grinder and sausage stuffing attachments work great too.
Use mine all the time
Congratulations

I've had one for years. My mother always had one, I have her old one and love it. The other day I was at Sam's in Mishawaka, IN and as I always do when at Sam's, went to check out the "clearence" items in back and there it was, a Kitchen Aid Mix Master sitting on the shelf with a red tag reading, "some part missing"! The missing parts were the wire wisp and porcelan stir attachments. So what they were selling was the mixer, the bowl, and the dough hook. I snatched it up for a cool $50.07 + tax.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deal of the century!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, what a deal Neil

Good Deal Neil got ours of EBay

Im taking my fat arse straight to Sams and asking where the fark the red tag clearance items are. My wife & I have been wanting one since before we were married. But they've always been $279 or there abouts.

WOW what a great deal Neil. The OL made me buy her one before I could buy a new TV years ago. Boy am I happy i got it for her.

Chris, congrats on your new purchase. As a fellow wood worker you'll appreciate what a great machine it is.
Making bread is awesome, has a lot of the same theraputic value as cooking Q for me.
Have fun and cook great stuff!!

Nice work, Neil!

My MIL gave me one for my birthday. I don't know how I ever got along without it. I've got my eye on some meat grinder attachemnts on eBay.

My wife thinks I'm nuts because the clearance area is the first place at Sam's that I check out.

I am looking at the vegetable slicer/grater attachment. We eat enough cheese here that I think I would by blocks of cheese, grate into bags and freeze.

I had the slicer/grater attachment and it work great, but I seldom used it(empty nester, you know). Gave it to my daughter-in-law who has large family and entertains often. She uses it ALL the time and loves it. They do use it to grate cheese in quantity for the freezer.

That's a darn good idea! I'm gonna have to look into that. I've been buying pre-grated cheese, 'cause that's what we usually need, but the OL has been giving me grief about it costing more than blocks. It's a pretty negligible difference if you ask me, but she seems to be the boss . . .

Interesting. In DFW I can buy grated cheese, at Sam's, cheaper than a block. In San Antonio and Austin it is the opposite.

I usually use the Cuisinart to shred cheese. It works, and I have enough other attachements for appliances on the shelves already. I've done 10 lbs. of cheese and bagged it with the foodsaver for a party when I was making enchiladas. Came out as good as anything I've bought bagged. If you are doing a softer cheese try to have everything set up and ready to go before pulling it out of the fridge, and then get it back in as soon as you can. It makes a big difference in texture when you get it out of the freezer for use.

Got mine 15 years ago, lasted a week. Called the hot line they starte to tell me that it would not be covered because I did not use one of their recipes. I told them I would just take it back to the PX, and tell them about the run around ( if you fark with a solider you'll lose all the sales) I had a new one the next day and never had a problem with it.

Mom has been buying a 40# wheels of parmesian and asiago for years then grates it with the Kitchen Aid.
