Stand Mixers

If you plan to do a lot of cooking, electric Stand Mixers make the job much, much easier. It might seem like a lot of money but a good electric mixer is a fantastic investment.

I have used several mixers and listed below are some of my favorites:

KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red The new Artisan comes in a gorgeous range of colors and there is bound to be one to suit every kitchen decor. The Kitchen Aid Artisan is a quality electric mixer.

What I love about mixers is that they just do their job while you can be collecting ingredients, cracking eggs, measuring the butter etc. It frees you up to do other things whilst the mixing is going on.

If you want more than a hand beater but still don't use an electric mixer often, there is a large range of hand/stand mixers available. I used one of these for years and it was fantastic. It can be converted to a hand beater with a flick of the switch. These models are very verstile, very affordable and very reliable.
