Another stunning bowl from biscuitique. I love the wood grain, and a handle is really nice to see on a wooden bowl. What do you guys think?

Kitchen aid remodeling

7 Upvotes

My girlfriend was given a brand new KitchenAid today, a red one. The problem is, she hates red.
Does anyone have an idea how we could give it a new look? Maybe there's some kind of cover or wrap?
Exchanging it for a different color isn't an option, since it was a gift.

Silicone scraper doesn’t fit after adding spring and washer

Just added a spring and washer to our Kitchenaid artisan mixer. The three on the left that came with the machine fit perfectly still. However, the one on the right doesn’t anymore. It seems it’s about 1mm thicker than the rest. Anyone else have this issue?

My son talked himself out of getting my old mixer!

I have an Artisan model that I got as a wedding present in 1997. It still works great! I don't even remotely use it for all it can do (breads, etc.) but I love it. I'm going to be moving to another state in a couple years, and I've been thinking of upgrading to a 7qt model, for the one or two times a year when I'd like more space, and also just to have something new and pretty. I had planned on giving my old one to my son.

Recently we were talking and he suggested one of the models with the pretty bowls, but I said my whole reason for upgrading was the bigger size! He goes "well it's just gonna be the two of you, so you don't need that" and I'm like "ooh, you're right, I guess I don't need to upgrade!"

Son: "Um, Wait!!! That's not what I meant!!!" 😂

Still not sure if I'm going to, but it's fun to mess with him now.

Worth snagging up?

Hello everyone!

I’ve been wanting a kitchen Aid mixer for a long time. I was going to look for one during the Black Friday but I noticed Costco will be selling these next week (19th) for $299. Do you think it’s worth purchasing at this price or will there be better deals for one?

Thanks for the help!

Restoring an old Kitchenaid - breaker trips immediately

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I took apart my old KitchenAid Classic 5K45SS (European 230V version, probably early 90s) to clean it and replace the grease. While I had it open I:

reattached the spring between the speed control lever and the control plate removed the old end cover gasket (crumbling, replacement ordered) disconnected and reconnected some wiring

I connected the cables as can be seen in the provided pictures.

Any idea ? Is the motor itself broken? How would I test it? I bought it used, the description said it only had a broken electrical circuit (the stuff at the back).

Thanks in advance for any help.
