Oh, and don’t forget to check out this event’s totally awesome grand prize giveaway! It’s for a 10-piece stainless steel cookware set from Calphalon!
I am so thrilled to bring you this amazing giveaway! I am giving away a KitchenAid Artisan Mixer! I love mine and know that anyone would love to have this as an amazing addition to their kitchen. Winner gets to choose his or her own color!
The KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer has a strong 325-watt motor delivers the power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mix large batches easily. The 5-quart stainless steel bowl with ergonomic handle is big enough to handle large batches of heavy mixtures. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable. The unique mixing action eliminates the need to rotate the bowl by spinning the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, moving the beater to the edge of the bowl at 67 different points. This ensures a quick and complete mixing action. The Artisan Stand Mixer includes a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip which will add to the versatility of the mixer.

tu.org says
Just after Twenty-five years of faithful services, my Sunbeam Mixmaster gave out.
After I replaced it with an alternative of the same company, When I found
out that they can’t produce things just like they used to!
And So I purchased a kitchenaid, just like everybody else.
It’s been not too long ago now and I also still can’t stand
that Kitchen Aid! I do not like that you cannot put ingredients effortlessly during mixing with out
placing the training collar and chute on the bowl,
you can’t scrape the bowl while the beater is working,
it is very messy (something usually seems to fly out the
bowl, it doesn’t matter how cautious I’m), I can not seem to have it set correct in order for the ingredients at the base of the bowl get incorporated
into the batter, and it really is just too big and heavy!
