What's a stand mixer?
What are the standard functions of a stand mixer?
A stand mixer comes in handy when you often make pies, cakes, or other baked goods. With a stand mixer, you can knead, whisk, and mix all kinds of dough and batter. Think of kneading dough for cakes, bread, and pizza. Or whisking whipped cream and egg whites. You also mix different ingredients together for a cake filling, for example. Almost all stand mixers come with a number of basic attachments like a dough hook, whisk, and mixing hook.
How do you expand the possibilities?
You can expand the functions of a stand mixer with various attachments. There are attachments to chop, cut, and grate ingredients. With a blender attachment or juicer attachment, you can prepare juices and smoothies. But you can also make fresh pasta and freshly minced meat, for example.

You choose from attachments for:
- Chopping, cutting, and grating
