electric mixer

[starchaser18]

anyone tried panasonic stand mixer or hand mixer? I'm thinking of getting this one since the stand mixer only costs php2725 at ansons vs the black & decker hand mixer 250w at SM for php3000.

also better ba na auto-rotating bowl for stand mixer? ano yung benefits for auto rotating bowl?

[j27]

^i have a black&decker hand/stand mixer with rotating bowl. mas ok ito siyempre kesa dun sa hand/stand mixer na hindi auto-rotating bowl.

actually, ang nauna kong hand/stand mixer na nabili, yung hindi auto-rotating bowl, may effort ka pa din sa pag ikot ng bowl para ma-mix mabuti yung ingredients.

dun sa auto-rotating bowl, wala na masyado effort, stop ko lang siya para scrape yung gilid tapos on ko na ulit.

^^before i settle with kitchenaid, pinag iisipan ko din yang moulinex. also, yung bosch and kenwood. heavy duty (or maybe, semi lang) stand mixers na mas mura sa kitchenaid. nagbabasa din ako ng reviews ng mga yan, at naaatat na nga ako bumili. pero kitchenaid is kitchenaid, what every baker wants/needs (well, almost, if not all).

[starchaser18]

^thanks po. yun pala yun
i'm enticed to buy kitchenaid na din dahil sa kababasa, though ang kinakatakot ko is baka tamarin lang ako sa huli sa pagbake. sa susunod nalang if talagang mapanindigan ko.

actually i called up fair n square emporium to inquire their kitchenaid artisan and it costs below 20k. does SM sell this particular model at 25k?

[j27]

^yun lang...

ako kuntento na sana ako sa black&decker ko, kaya lang biglang dumami ang demands. nakakaawa din naman kahit matibay siya. hehe. kaya buti may karelyebo na kitchenaid.  yes, kahit may kitchenaid ako, ginagamit ko pa din hand/stand mixer ko sa ilang recipes ko.

I don't have any baking background though i'd like to learn sana. I am planning to buy kitchenaid sana kasi i would like to go for the quality para sana in the future kung maging ok, i dont need to buy another mixer. Is it advisable to get one like this agad or do u have any reco na sulit find electric mixers for a beginner like me? Help!!!

^same question.  and by the way meron na ba dito nagtitinda ng kitchenaid na pink? i only saw white in S&R

I don't have any experience in baking when I started two years ago. As in zero. So I only bought a black & decker mixer that works like a hand mixer with a stand thus it can also work as a stand mixer. It's relatively cheaper compared to kitchenaid but it works good. Actually when I started, I didn't have a mixer then. Now when I'm lazy to set-up the mixer I just do everything by hand including the creaming of the butter and sugar as well as whipping the cream. Muscle power! Tinamad akong mag-set up pero may lakas akong mag-whip. Parang walang logic.

Honestly, wala pa akong experience na disaster ang finished product ko kahit na cheap lang yung mixer na nabili ko. So my advice is to start with a cheap but quality performing mixer. If you will just bake for your family then a cheap mixer  can do the task. Hindi ka naman magbi-business para bumili ng kitchenaid. Think of the ROI.  In the first place, if you want to start your own baking business, then enrolling in a baking class is recommended. Baking is not all about the mixer. It is in the quality of the ingredients and how diligently you follow every step. But if you have the money to splurge then by all means buy a kitchenaid. Hahahaha.

Philips stand mixer din lang gamit ko which i bought for 50% off kasi twice or thrice a month  lang naman ako mag bake and mostly cookies lang. newbie din lang ako sa baking almost a year  p a lang, dati rin gusto ko bumili ng kitchen aid  kaso inisip ko halos kasing mahal na sya ng oven ko he he.

Hello! I would like to ask for some advice sana regarding the stand mixers. Bago pa lang ako nag aaral mag bake and if ever maging successful pwede rin siguro maging sideline. Any suggestions for a quality stand mixer within the budget of 3-5k? And kung saan magandang bumili na mas mura. Thank you!

^Black & Decker mixer ang gamit ko. nasa ganyang price range lang din at nabili ko sa SM 2 years ago. ok naman sya at madami na akong napaggamitan. hand mixer talaga sya pero may stand kaya pwede ding maging stand mixer. May mga mixer din akong nakita at kinumpara ko na lang yung mga attachments ng bawat isa at yung sa black and decker ang napansin kong mas matibay at totoong gawa sa stainless steel. yung sa iba kasi may pagka-mirror finish yung stainless steel attachments nila eh kapag ganun, hindi talaga magandang quality ng stainless steel yun. With my mixer, nakapagbake na ako ng iba't ibang version ng chocolate cakes, carrot cake, blackforest, cheese cupcakes, brownies, red velvet cupcakes, chicago cheesecake, fruit pie, choco chips cookies, and rolled oats cookies. FYI, zero po experience ko sa baking to start with. As in kahit sa school hindi ako nakapagbake. Sinunod ko lang yung procedure and measurements ng mga ingredient kaya ni isa man sa mga binake ko ay walang palpak.

^i envy you sis! I am a frustrated baker. I haven't done it for the 28 years of my existence hahaha! I can cook anything you want me to. I am confident to cook anything kahit hindi ko pa na try hehe. Eto talaga gusto ko masubukan. I know i can do well on this din. Wala pa ako oven, etc haha pero gusto ko na bumili ng mixer lol! I know OT na pero i hope you could share tips na din and reco kung anung mga ok bilhin for a beginner like me. Tia!

[iamasinger]

That's alright. I was 37 when I started baking. hahaha. I think there is a separate thread about your inquiry. Sagutin na lang kita through PM.

[brandi]

^will wait for your pm. Thanks sis!

I own a 5qt. Heavy Duty Kitchen Aid Mixer and I'm so satisfied with it. It's almost 6years now and working like it's brand new. It only has one minor repair, wear and tear of the plastic on the lever.

I have an Imarflex auto rotating mixer way back home pero never ko sya ginamit paggawa ng dough.

Then yesterday, I have managed to purchase a kitchenAid Pro 6 quartz in a buy and sell site here in Doha for QAR500 or P6,000 (HOORAY!!!!) 

It is 110v and kailangan pa sya I-convert into 220v. May alam ba kayo sis kung saan ko sya pwede ipaconvert? How much it will cost? Or kailangan ko na lang ba bumili ng transformer? Medyo maluwag pati ng konti yong speed controller nya kaya pagawa ko rin sana pag uwi ko ng Pinas.

I started baking last 2012 lang. Newbie pa rin naman ako kaya hubby bought me a 3D hand/stand mixer. 1700 lang pero ok naman, matibay naman sya.
