parts
these mixers will come with a removable dough pot with accessories that include a dough hook, mixing paddle, and a whisk. The dough hook is for kneading the dough. A mixing paddle is a general tool that allows you to mix all items together. Lastly, a whisk is for beating eggs, whipped cream, and other soft creams.
Features/ benefits
one of the greatest benefits of this type of mixer is that most of them come standard with a power hub on the front of the mixer. This feature gives the mixer the ability to accommodate additional interchangeable utensils, or mixer attachments, making it a highly versatile choice. It can not only handle dough, but with additional add-ons it can also whip potatoes, create batter, slice or shred vegetables, and even grind meat!
