325 Watts. That’s what the KitchenAid Artisan packs. Along with a 5 quart mixing bowl, you can quickly cream butter, knead dough and whip cream. The Artisan has 10 speeds and comes in 17 designer colors (we featured Tangerine). It comes with a number of attachments including a flat beater, dough hook, and the professional wire whip, and you can purchase a number of attachments from a citrus juicer, and sausage stuffer to an ice cream maker and pasta roller.
The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing normal to heavy batters. From cake mixes to firm cookie dough, the flat beater mixes quickly and thoroughly. The wire whip can be used for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and the hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. The handle is ergonomically designed contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable. The beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise; moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This unique mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. The tilt-back mixer head allows for easy access to bowl and beaters. A lock lever holds the mixer head securely in place and the bowl fastens tightly to the base.
