KitchenAid KSM150PSPK Komen Foundation Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Pink
KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off.--Betsy DanheimEditor's note: With every purchase of this KitchenAid pink stand mixer, inspired by the pink ribbon symbolizing breast-cancer awareness, KitchenAid will make a $50 donation to the Komen Foundation. Since the inception of the Cook for the Cure. program, KitchenAid has raised one million dollars for the fight against breast cancer. During its 2003 program, KitchenAid will donate up to $500,000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through its pink stand mixer, and select major appliance and small-appliance promotions.
