Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When it came to choosing what to write about for our first Ten Things&nbsp;post, the decision was actually really easy. It\u2019s one of our all-time best sellers; the product on everyone\u2019s wishlists. In fact, as far as we&#8217;re concerned, it&#8217;s a kitchen classic.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the&nbsp;<strong>KitchenAid\u2019s KSM Stand Mixer<\/strong>, of course.

Your KitchenAid Mixer&#8217;s&nbsp;hard-wearing, baked enamel finish is made to cope with a whole lifetime&nbsp;of use and still look great.&nbsp;There&#8217;s no doubt about it: these sturdy mixers are made to last. And last. And last&#8230;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Piece of cake<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a PhD to use the KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Just pop in your ingredients,&nbsp;move&nbsp;the slider on the side to select the speed you\u2019d like \u2013 and you&#8217;re off to a flying start! Each model has ten speeds to choose from, and the smart manual included with your KSM Mixer explains which speed is best to use for most common kitchen tasks. A lever on the other side lets you tilt the KitchenAid\u2019s head up, and changing the beater is&nbsp;as easy as&nbsp;changing a light bulb &#8211; just twist and pull.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2613 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beetroot-Pasta-640x640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Intergalactic, planetary<\/h5>\n<p>The KitchenAid\u2019s clever planetary mixing action is not only unique, but also seriously&nbsp;effective. The beater moves in one direction around the bowl, while the beater&#8217;s head turns in the opposite direction. The result? Perfectly combined ingredients, every time.<\/p>\n<h5>A baker\u2019s best friend<\/h5>\n<p>Just think of all the delicious things you\u2019ll be able to make with your KitchenAid mixer. From cakes to cookies; muffins to meringues, baking is&nbsp;much better&nbsp;with your trusty KitchenAid to help you out. You can also make breads, guacamole, pizza doughs \u2013 the list goes on. And that\u2019s not even counting what you can do if you\u2019re willing to purchase a few extra attachments\u2026<\/p>\n<h5>Get attached<\/h5>\n<p>You won\u2019t believe the number of clever attachments and accessories available for the KSM Mixer. Of course, your KitchenAid mixer includes all the basics&nbsp;you need to get started,&nbsp;like a flat beater, a stainless steel whisk, a dough hook and more, but there\u2019s a host of other accessories and attachments that will have you doing everything from mincing meat to making your own ice cream! The KitchenAid\u2019s clever hub, located on the front of the mixer lets you plug in all kinds of clever extra attachments, like the Pasta Roller or the Spiraliser, all available separately. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersofkensington.com.au\/Public\/brands\/kitchenaid?search=KitchenAid+Accessories&amp;OnlyBrand=1#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click or tap here to see our range<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2611\" src=\"http:\/\/www.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o.jpg\" alt=\"KitchenAid Spiraliser Attachment\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www2.petersofkensington.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/13221155_10154223217403993_5132687816291565185_o-640x640.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Feel the power&#8230;<\/h5>\n<p>Most&nbsp;KSM models have a 300-watt, direct drive motor.
