Im using Kitchenaid heavy duty, Bought during 2011 as my Birthday gift from my mom.

I tear out and regrease this year. have been kicking strong until today.

I make focassia, ciabatta, baggutte, meatball,pie, everything in that machine.

U want the best quality? Get kitchen aid lo.

If not, just get some reputable brands about. Don’t buy all the weird Perry smith whatever nonsense.

can learn wan

the 6-7L variant? how does the motor take the loads from making bread?

so scary when see some mixer kneading dough and the entire machine shaking

kitchenaid macam yes but some said their "lower wattage" motor might not be enough

Mine is Kenwood k-mix. Better than my sister's kitchenaid. Downside is I cannot match any other appliances with the mixer unlike kitchenaid.

Thinking of downgrading to kitchenaid to satisfy my OCD.

right? i feel like some of them too light but powerful motor

then the entire machine shaking when kneading bread. for cookies or light stuff no prob tho

but are you gonna use the attachments tho

kitchenaid if only they around 1k only wouldnt mind getting

Kitchenaid ftw! Been using for 5 years edi.

people only use kitchenaid because reliable a bit lah for mixer
but they damn expensive I tell you

if you really serious about it can invest

if not la kan,
hand mixer also ok jer

cause these things so easy rosak one hehe
especially if you pukul bread dough

if stand mixer memang kitchenaid all the way cause nothing else compares

i think the smaller SKU for kitchenaid cannot tahan the load.
usually i make bread about 1-2L size. machine is working at its 80-100% already.

I feel kitchen aid is very multipurpose use already.

if u want another variant mean for bread making only go for ankarsrum

Kenwood brand is for normal consumer la.

Kitchenaid after artisan is mean for commercial kitchen.
u need speed and motor power, and also scratch, water resistant.

I trust kitchenaid than any consumer brand

Never make bread or dough at home. Too much work.

Got Massimo, got TK Bakery. Why need to make bread at home?

No. I don't mean attachement. I mean other countertop appliances like blender, kettle, toaster & etc. With kitchenaid you can match and put them on your counter top. With my current k-mix, I have to hide them in the cabinet.

But if you plan of kneading dough, you better buy kenwood. Kitchenaid is only good if you only bake cake, cookies and other type of soft batter. Kneading is where my k-mix perform better than my sister's kitchenaid.

Top motor use lesser watt. Those below 500w is usually top motor. Ie kitchenaid. Because the motor is at the top, if u mix at high speed it will be unstable and move around. Some folks will opt for clip support on the kitchen top to stablize the vibration.

Bottom motor use higher watt. Ie kenwood. Because the weight is at bottom is is more stable at high speed mix.

Our family prefer kenwood, but 1 of my cousin die die prefer kitchenaid. Cuz it' has more modern aesthetic to it I guess.

If u r not a heavy user, get kenwood as its cheaper and it can really last for a long time.

Kitchenaid is over price here.

which model you using?

hand mixer to me mmg cant do bread la, it just kenot

can easily burn out motor from whipped cream, apatah lagi bread

but siao RM3k for a artisan haiz

so far the ones people recommend online all Artisan at least, but RM3k++ haiz

i saw classic one RM2k but like you said prolly not enough.

how do one calculate bread dough size? i normally do bread dough sizes like 500gm flour and then 70% water. any bigger then abit too much

Cause u havent try own make bread before.

The sweet and sour fermented taste from freshly bread. where you cant get from any store in Malaysia store.

Masimo, gardenia all this is loaf, and been treated with bread softer. doesnt even come close to 10% of freshly bake artisan bread.

kitchenaid FTW, my artisan serves me very well, paired with metal meat grinder hhhnnnghh

Not sure about the commercial lineup, but on consumer level, kenwood is always the preferable choice then kitchenaid artisan if you read dedicated breadmaking forum.

actually pretty easy if you opt for no knead recipes. but for me cause kneading and making bread is kinda relaxing

the feel when you make good bread is good

oh you mean as decor? haha

hmm their kenwood chef line eh? RM1.7k in harvey norman...

dem influencers all in youtube all using kitchen aid haha

huh didnt know this. but yes kitchenaid is more promoted among influencers to be "in thing" thats why. no doubt the aesthetics are good too

my mom bought like this one...

http://salamharun.blogspot.com/2011/10/my-...jaya-mixer.html

so far quite ok, if bread mixing up to 700gram only (previous using 1kg and the gear and rubber band broken... need to change)

i think now already more than 10 years...but only using during ramadhan/raya season and few times a year to make donut/pizza base..

Got lah last time. Too much work. I like cooking but baking is really a no-no for me. Too much work for a piece of bread.

I bought Kitchenaid heavy duty for RM2.1k only during 2011 haha.
i'll recommned u'd go for professional, but not artisan.
See, all the people who complain ktichenaid sucks cause artisan all this is mean for smaller batch of dough like 500-700g max. like above the people compare, Kenwood, if u compare consumer range to consumer range. maybe there's other's better.

How to calculate bread?

we always treat flour as our 100%.

example 500g flour, 300g water, 10g salt

100% flour
60% water
2% salt
(u get the idea, this is universal for all bakers)

lazy people got lazy way of making bread =P
best is no knead ciabatta, or sourdough lel

Just notice you want to make bread dough.

Bread dough usually need high power and the knit hook(s hook) need to be strong enough as bread dough is very thick. You probably need mid range to high range kitchen mixer for it.

You can opt for SPAR as well. Bread artisan do recommend this brand for bread making.

Best is buy Bakwa Bun from TK Bakery, no need so susah make dough and then go buy Bakwa separately. LOL.

I use a KitchenAid, it is now 15 years old and I bought it 2nd hand off a Japanese lady that was leaving the country.

I go through phases where I like baking breads and then it would be months before I do it again.

When it comes to mixers and if you would be making bread dough with it then get the best one you can afford.

The point to note is KitchenAids are expensive but due to their gearing they do better than more powerful mixers. Cheap mixers have cheap plastic gears in them. Waste of time.

Ini haram boss. Lol

bro, i've been observing u.
U got barista machine, then this stand mixer?

Other appliance as decor, stand mixer mainly must be functional and looks good.

Kenwood chef is ugly. Mine is kenwood k-mix. Looks aesthetically pleasing. If you don't mind the look, kenwood chef is much much better than artisan.

Which kitchenaid model you bought. My sister's artisan performed poorly when kneading bread. Which is the reason I bought kenwood instead (I bought mine after hers in 2013).

Kitchenaid heavy duty


I've even tried Ankarsrum, its really mean only for bread making

kitchen aid je. alah membeli menang memakai.

no, not mine

Does it come in other colour as well? Because I'm thinking of "migrating" to kitchenaid so that I can buy matching countertop appliances.

Kitchen aid or bust

Kenwood no longer bring kmix to Malaysia.

Not all chef is bad looking, some are really colorful.

If you want everlasting look, the chef titanium looks good. The bowl is damn shiny. Lol

that is mmg the pricing

I think its only 4 colour,

White, Matte grey, Black, and red

yaya was thinking to get meat grinder attachment one day if ada kitchen aid similar

been using chopper to mince meats

but does it struggle alot? other brands make bread i heard can as long dont overkill on portion

what are mi-hi range mixers lol

so many conflicting remarks

wanted something that can last the test of time like if almost daily baking small portions of cookies and cakes

burnt out motors are the worst to happen zzz

this hand mixer confirm can mix everything

yeah but wanted to know total weight in dough :/

bloody yanks keep saying stuff like dont over do the machine >2 loaves or 8 buns. niama what even measurement is that

professional is 7k adoiii

macam golden bull brand i saw in shopee je

wouldnt say kenwood chef ugly la, but its not as aesthetic compared to kitchenaid

a real expensive decor lolol

Using my mother's Kenwood Chef new in 1976, still going strong and parts still available.

Yeah. I noticed all the k-mix matching appliances no longer sold here. Probably people prefer their chef or otherwise kitchenaid.

Thanks. I am looking for black to match my black & white kitchen.

Ugly is the straight to the point way to describe kenwood stand mixer

Yeah. Really expensive decor, but of course must be functional.

ooh did you guys do maintenance?

Yes there are several websites giving maintenance advice and selling spares. It has not needed much, changed the rubber feet, cleaning and greasing is all I can remember.

I make some bread dough with it, normally speciality bread like panettone and babka; I use a bread maker usually to make bread/pizza dough as it has the kneading and resting programme - 1.5 hours cycle.

khind

Get a cheap one for cookies etc... For bread, no knead dough ftw. Can do higher hydration and bulk ferment for longer to develop better flavour.

that nice, i heard greasing the motor is most important

oh so its automated when after certain time kneading itll auto stop?

apa model boss

cookies i can use hand mixer, bread wise sometimes cant wait the longer fermentation to develop haha

like imagine want do bread in 4hrs time haha, unless i stand at counter knead2

but yes i agree if you ferment longer it tastes better

KW normal consumer aaa.... thus semua pakai KA is ARTISAN la, high end bespoked breads instapemes kot. Ambik gambar sengaja letak KA at the corner nk tunjuk, mcm bawa kereta stuck in traffic jem, tp sengaja show BMW emblem.

I'd buy KA, but for the price, my Chef XL (half price of KA Artisan, but 50% more capacity) pun jadi laaaa. HOWEVER....dem boring la the KW Chef punya deisn, my mother ~30Y punya KW exactly the same lool (and yeah, its still functioning).


In other parts of the world, pricing for KA roughly sama with KW, acceptance is mixed between the two, no one complaints much about the other, tp in Malaysia, when KA is super duper marked up, why bother with KA?


Kenwood suka intro new "design" and retire them after that, now its obsolete with no parts available, so once your K-Mix mati, then mati dah.

it quite ok... the machine also very heavy... i think more than 10kg... even feeling exhausting when relocate the machine....

haha gonna park it and leave it alone la

too hevay to move around often

Kitchen aid. Search no more

mahal ma deswai reconsidering
