Lookin’ Good at 90 March 10, 2009

I’ve always wanted one of these. Everyone with a television cooking show has one. I’m not sure what I would do with it, since my baking is limited to a batch of biscotti in December and scoop’n’bake muffins from Mom’s Pantry Products. But damn, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer looks good, doesn’t it? And after 90 years on the market, it’s as popular as ever thanks to tweaks that make it more than a pretty appliance. For example, the professional style bowl-lift design accommodates 12 to 14 cups of flour, enough to make up to 13 dozen cookies or eight loaves of bread. Whoa, way out of my league. But I’d still like to get one just to bling out my kitchen. From $240 to $545 at major department stores.
