When to Use Kitchenaid Mixer Attachments?
16 different models of KitchenAid mixers more or less define the state-of-the-art for serious home cooks. This reduces to three bowl sizes: 4.5 qt. bowl, 5 qt. bowl, and 6 qt. bowl. Though each step-up in bowl size means a more powerful motor to the mixer, each has a removable front plug that allows for the attachment of various add-ons that extend the capabilities of the mixers even further. These attachments include: sausage maker, pasta maker, ravioli maker, juicer/extractor, and grating and slicing. Each makes a KitchenAid mixer more versatile, more powerful and easier to clean up than a food processor.
