If you are looking for a great Christmas gift for the baker in your life, you will want to buy the KitchenAid KP26M1XMR Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, especially at the Amazon Black Friday price. This mixer is the gold standard of mixers. If you are buying a gift for someone who bakes, they know the brand name and they know the model… and if they don’t have one already, they want one!
The KichenAid 600 Series is a serious machine. It has a six quart capacity stainless steel mixing bowl, large enough to knead dough for multiple loaves of bread; and with the 575 watts of power the motor puts out, it is strong enough to stand up to the task. It can effectively mix up to 14 cups of flour per recipe, or smash 8 pounds of potatoes! The body is made of durable steel. It has a bowl-lift design which raises the bowl into mixing position instead of a head which raises and lowers. This means the motor is exposed to less dust and ingredients, and it is much easier to clean! Users adore the Soft Start mixing feature as it helps to reduce ingredient splatter and flour puff when the mixer is first turned on. The built in Electronic Speed Sensor monitors operation to maintain precise mixer speed, and the 600 series features commercial-style motor protection which automatically shuts off the mixer to protect the motor when overload is sensed.
This model comes with a professional wire whip, a burnished flat beater, burnished PowerKnead spiral hook, and a pouring shield. The wire whip is used for tasks such as whipping cream or meringue. The flat beater is used most frequently for general doughs – cookies, cakes, and the like, and the spiral hook is for making bread dough and other more demanding tasks. There is multipurpose attachment hub with a hinged hub cover which flips open to allow for easy installation of optional attachments such as a pasta maker, a juicer, or an ice cream maker. (There are many additional attachments you can buy now or for future gifts.) The mixer is 25 pounds and stands 16.5 inches high.
If you are looking for a truly exceptional gift any baker would want to own, then you will want to buy the KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
