Introducing the new KitchenAid Platinum Collection Stand Mixer.
The Platinum Collection Stand Mixer features a premium two coat metallic finish, elegant glass bowl and Flex Edge Beater for faster ingredient incorporation.
Unique planetary mixing action allows the beater to spiral to 67 different points within the bowl for quick, complete mixing and the highest beater-to-bowl coverage in the industry.
Sadly my time with Iva has come to an end, we have had some great times together, from making cakes and meringues to muffins and pizza dough. This is truly an amazing product, the flex edge beater came in handy, as it literately scrapped the bowl clean for me.
Things that are noticeable from previous models:
- New colours
- Embossed logo on the front rather than the black printed logo as per previous model
- Glass bowl included
- Flex edge beater included
- Quieter
- The picture on the side has changed to a pad lock opened and closed, rather than the tilt head up, tilt head down picture
Flex edge beater makes cake making so much easier!
I have always been a fan of the dough hook!
Beating the eggs whites for meringues
I will now go through a few things that enjoyed I liked how quite this model is compared to the previous model, not sure if this was because of the glass bowl but it sure was noticeable.
The glass bowl is fantastic, I was able to put my ingredients into the glass bowl that was on the scales, next I was able lift the glass bowl with my left hand and hold the sifter in my right and sift the ingredients through the pouring end into another bowl, once completed was able to place the 1kg of flour mix back in the glass bowl and under the dough hook.
Below is a clip of the pizza dough in progress, this also makes bread dough an easy to make!
The glass bowl is also handy for those of you who have children as they can sit on the kitchen bench and watch you mix!
Another handy thing is the glass bowl also has measurements on the side.
