Parrothead Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 My poor KitchenAid is kneeding two loaves of bread dough and is struggling and making all manner of straining noises. I'm thinking it might be time for something along the lines of a Bosch. Actually I know it is time. But I have a question before the final commitment. Will something as powerful at the Bosch mix cake batter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The Bosch will mix ANYTHING, even cake batter. And just so you know, 2 loaves of bread is nothing to a Bosch. I would double or even triple my loaves and never once did it struggle. I loved it but had to sale it in a financial crisis. I have a KA now but it doesn't do nearly as much bread. I can only do 2 loaves at a time before it shuts down. When I ever need something again, I'll buy another Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee in NC Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 My Bosch even does meringue! There are attachments to buy that are good for cookies, cake batter, meringues, etc. I wouldn't trade it for any other mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I use my Bosch for all mixing jobs, not just bread. I am especially glad to have it when I make things like Esther's Orange Marmalade Cake. :) I also have the blender (which came with the machine) and food processor attachments.

Parrothead Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thank you ladies. Ellie, which food processor do you have. I've seen two - the slicer/shredder and the actual food processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have both the food processor and the slicer/shredder. The slicer shredder has the blade at the top and can do a very large amount. The bowl is considerably larger and fits on the same side as the mixer part. The food processor has blades for the top, but also has the regular blade on the bottom. It is a smaller bowl and fits on the side where the blender attaches. I like both of them for different reasons. But...if I had to chose only one, I would pick the slicer/shredder.

Alison in KY Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've also heard the Electrolux DLX is really good. I'm waiting for my KA to die so I can buy something better :D Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've also heard the Electrolux DLX is really good. I'm waiting for my KA to die so I can buy something better :D Alison I'm doing very well indeed if the two whole wheat loaves I make with the KA last two days now. I would looove to bake enough in one session to last a whole week, but I can't knead that much by hand and the budget won't flex enough to buy either a Bosch or an Electrolux. My KA has been straining with at least two loaves a week for several years now without any sign of failing, so it may be awhile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFwife Claire Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've also heard the Electrolux DLX is really good. I'm waiting for my KA to die so I can buy something better :D Alison I LOVE my new DLX. I just got it for my birthday a few weeks ago. It definitely mixes both small things and large things! It was worth the wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 You threw the Electrolux in the mix. Now I can't decide. Uggg.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
