My Kitchen Aid does the Tighten Up


Dorie Greenspan recently raved about a new paddle attachment for the KitchenAid™ called the Beater Blade.  There are other 'ghetto' brands.  But this is the 'original' one.  

For those of you who have decided to continue reading, a 'paddle attachment' isn't for table top tennis, it isn't an IUD (it looks a little like it could be one, right?), nor is it an adult toy.  

It's just your basic mixing beater.  Problem is, this beater, the basic mixing tool for the best and one of the most expensive kitchen mixers (the least expensive model is about $200), is poorly designed.  When using this Rolls Royce mixer, you have to regularly stop and 'scrape down' the bowl.  This is an annoyance that has become an accepted step, written into recipes, and frankly, a pain in the ass. 

Along with silicone, Botox, Restylane and other plumpifiers, the Beater Blade is born.  Wow! With the addition of silicone, to soften the blade and tighten the gap between blade and bowl, our mixer no longer needs scraping down.  Well, maybe the tiniest bit.

The Kitchen Aid™ has joined the lifted, injected and filled in.  It works, this new Beater Blade. You can get it at Amazon.  Try this link for the 5 quart tilted head paddle attachment.  If you have the 6 quart machine, you can click here.  You can look for other brands, but when it comes to silicone for my baby, I buy her top shelf.

I used mine tonight, putting together my cheese danish.
