Are stand mixers worth the investment?

If you’re considering buying a stand mixer, you might be asking yourself ‘are stand mixers worth the investment?’

Stand mixers are a great addition to your kitchen appliance selection. As a versatile and multi functional item, they might be one of the best investments you make for your kitchen.

With so many purposes, you can reduce the overall clutter and improve efficiency when preparing and cooking. You may find you don’t need to buy other smaller appliances as a stand mixer can achieve the same result!

In this post, we’ll explore the benefits of stand mixers and whether they are the right investment option for you.

With a stand mixer doing the hard work for you, you can spend your time elsewhere in the kitchen chopping, preparing other ingredients, or even just sipping on a glass of wine or a cup of tea.

The speed and capacity of a stand mixer is unmatched in comparison to our own blending and mixing capabilities. You’re sure to get a smoother, more even texture whether you’re whipping up a meringue, kneading dough or folding cake mixture.

As stated above, a stand mixer is a multipurpose item so it can be used to replace other appliances such as blenders, an electric whisk, or chopper, thus reducing clutter in your kitchen and freeing up space. It’s not uncommon for stand mixers to be passed through generations, and you can always replace the parts and attachments as time goes on to keep the appliance in the best condition.

Since all of the mixing and ingredients are contained in the bowl of the stand mixer, it’s a clean and hassle-free way to achieve thorough results when preparing your mixtures. The attachments can all be removed and placed in the dishwasher for effortless cleaning.

At Bosch, we advise building a ‘capsule kitchen’ whereby you invest in good quality, multipurpose tools that reduce the need for endless small appliances that can cause clutter in your kitchen. While a hand mixer or a hand blender are a great addition to your kitchen for easy and simple dishes and soups, you can get away with just a stand mixer.

With a stand mixer, you can make everything from pasta to cakes and doughs, ice cream, juices and smoothies. The initial investment in a CreationLine stand mixer would open you up to endless culinary possibilities with no need to clutter your kitchen with multiple appliances.

Optional accessories that you can purchase along with the CreationLine stand mixer include: ice cream maker, grain mill, multi mixer, cookie attachment, meat grinder, citrus press, pasta press. Depending on your kitchen habits and recipe preferences, you’re free to build a capsule selection suited to your needs.

In comparison to kneading dough by hand, a stand mixer can save you a lot of physical exertion. The CreationLine has 3D Planetary Mixing which mimics kneading movement like your hands for perfect dough. Stand mixers are perfect for kneading bread dough to just the right consistency and will give you thorough results.

The CreationLine stand mixer does everything you’d need it to do – the accessories include:

Shredding discs, mixing bowl, scales, timer, kneading hooks, grating discs, blender, accessory bag. But if you’re not ready to make that full investment, we have a full kitchen machines range, allowing you to pick and choose just what you need.

So there you have it. A stand mixer is certainly a jack of all trades, but it will give you incredible results every time with its thorough and impactful mixing and blending capabilities. It makes economic sense to purchase a stand mixer in place of multiple appliances, but it’s also a great way to remove clutter and confusion in your kitchen. A stand mixer could be the answer to an easier, stress-free and simpler culinary experience!
