The KitchenAid Pastry Beater For Tilt Head Stand Mixers has been a great addition to my baking tools ! It really stands up to stiff batters and cuts in butter with ease. Im enjoying all the different ways to use this attachment  , mashed potatoes  , shredded pork and chicken for BBQ,  and of course my sweets that I bake. The attachment cleans up easily  , I just toss it on the top rack of my dishwasher.  I highly recommend this product  , it's going to ba an essential tool for my holiday baking !
