The article discusses the benefits of using a hand mixer instead of a traditional KitchenAid stand mixer, particularly for casual bakers. While the author once dreamed of a stand mixer for their baking, a personal life change led to a reevaluation of kitchen tools. The cost-effectiveness and convenience of hand mixers are highlighted, emphasizing their lightweight nature and more manageable price. The author encourages home cooks to consider hand mixers as practical alternatives, especially in today's economically challenging environment.
Living in a shaky economy with rising costs and dwindling job security, this matters a lot. Save your money here and you'll be able to spend (or save!) it elsewhere.
If you're a professional chef or run a bakery out of your home, obviously this tale isn't for you. But for the average home cook or baker, I promise you the hand mixer is where it's at - here's why.
First, a quality hand mixer with all the necessary attachments doesn't have to cost you any more than a tenth of the price of a KitchenAid stand mixer (which starts around $400 on the lowest end).
Starting at 10 pounds and ranging up to 35 pounds depending on style, size, and attachments, half the reason stand mixers are usually found on the counter is because they're simply too heavy to pick up and move in and out of a cabinet or pantry.
