Delonghi 705 watt Stand Mixer with mini food processor and chopper

Amazon.com

Even occasional bakers will wonder how they ever got along without a stand mixer once they splurge on this 5-quart model. The mixer has a high-quality sleek white-and-silver diecast aluminum construction and a heavy-duty 705-watt motor for long-lasting wear. Six speeds plus a pulse button give bakers the ultimate control, so dishes turn out perfectly mixed every time. The stand mixer maintains its power and speed on the chosen setting regardless of how much dough or batter is in the stainless-steel mixing bowl, and the beater moves in what Delonghi describes as a "planetary" motion for more thorough mixing without leaving unstirred flour on the sides or bottom of the bowl. A transparent splash guard keeps batter in the bowl and off of countertops, but also lets you monitor mixing results and add ingredients through a side hatch. Three attachments are included with the mixer: a stainless-steel whisk for whipping mousses or egg whites for soufflés or meringues; a nonstick dough hook for quicker kneading of bread and pastry doughs than is possible by hand; and a nonstick flat beater for mixing cake or cookie batter in record time. Four other concealed power outlets can run up to 12 other attachments, from a meat grinder to a pasta maker (sold separately). The mixer’s head tilts upward for easy removal of the bowl or to change the attachment. To keep itself in working order, the unit has an overload protection device and shuts itself down if ingredients exceed the recommended bowl capacity. As an added bonus, this stand mixer comes with a mini food chopper and four lidded glass storage jars for prepping and storing baking ingredients in advance. Delonghi warranties the motor on this stand mixer for 10 years. --Cristina Vaamonde
