You also get a centering ring, mixing spatula, transparent lid, ice cream beater and a special mixing spatula and a magnetized adapter. This helps to aerate mixtures such as meringues and whipped egg whites, that can be used for fluffy frostings and light chiffon cakes. A hand mixer is a great alternative to using a large stand mixer because it is more compact and portable. It is mostly used for smaller baking tasks and replaces the need to use a spatula or a wooden spoon. Things like whipping cream, mixing cake batter, or stirring cookie dough are all tasks that are easily completed with a hand mixer.

Your stand mixer will come with a typical array of standard attachments, like a wire whisk, flat beater, flex edge beater, and dough hook. Other attachments are available to make your KitchenAid amazingly multi-purpose. If you are a novice baker, you would know that the paddle attachment is one of the standard attachments and has a range of purposes and benefits. Its primary purpose involves beating, mixing, combining or creaming ingredients using electric hand mixers.
