The 4 Best Stand Mixers of 2024, Tested & Reviewed | gastrobackuae.com
The 5-quart stainless steel bowl was big enough to handle our cookie and bread dough batches and managed to incorporate both recipes’ ingredients quite well. We were particularly impressed by how well the bread dough mixed; the dough gained a notable elasticity that required no additional hand-kneading, which is often the case with other stand mixers. The one downside, however, was that the machine got louder and shook while mixing the dough.
- It's designed with a handle on top to make lifting the head easy, plus it suctions to your countertop so it'll stay in place when you're mixing.
- The lever on the side of the mixer makes it easy to lower the bowl, giving you better access to add ingredients or scrape down the sides when needed.
- There are dozens of reasons why you might want to incorporate a stand mixer into your kitchen, even if you’re not a seasoned baker or expert chef.
- Head to the end of this guide to read more about how we tested stand mixers, what types to consider and how to choose the right one for you.

Plus, the mixer comes in more than 20 colors so you can customize your look. Tilt-head mixers are usually more compact, but bowl-lift mixers are a bit sturdier and more powerful—good for tough jobs like kneading dense bread dough. Tilt-head mixers also make it easier to swap out the beaters, but on the flip side, it’s a little easier to add ingredients to a bowl-lift mixer (when the bowl is lowered).
MAJOR APPLIANCES
Stand mixers are considered kitchen MVPs, and when well taken care of, they can last for several years. Velez, Gordon, and Leshnick told us that one big threat to the longevity of stand mixers is overworking the motor. “The fastest way to burn out a motor is beating cold butter,” says Gordon. “The only time you should put cold butter into a mixer bowl is if you are making pie crust (pâte brisée method) or some type of dough where butter is slowly broken in,” she says. If you’re about to make something, and your butter is cold, she suggests leaving it out so it can reach room temperature, or softening it a bit in the microwave. All of the bakers we spoke to prefer to use KitchenAid stand mixers.
The bowl is broad and deep enough for most jobs, although occasionally rattling at high speeds. We love the guard and find having the tools on the top of the machine handy. There are different hubs around the device for impressive attachments, including a food processor and blender. A dual ventilation system also ensures the motor does not overheat.
