K45ss Kitchenaid Classic Mixer Tips

The K45ss Kitchenaid classic mixer is essntially easy to operate but we've gathered together a few tips and tricks here so that you get the most out of your investment in this wonderful product

1. Leave It Out

Don't trying putting your k45ss away every time you use it. A Kitchenaid k45ss stand mixer is a big sturdy machine with an all metal construction and it's heavy! You'll get much more use out of it if you leave your appliance out on the kitchen work surface - in fact, you'll probably find yourself baking a few cookies or cakes just for the sheer pleasure of using it when it catches your eye.

2. Wash Your K45SS Kitchenaid Classic Mixer By Hand

Due to it's smooth rounded lines the k45ss is easy to wipe clean with a cloth after use. You can put the stainless steel bowl in the dishwasher if you like but you shouldn't machine wash the other attachments if you want to extend their life as long as possible. I find it easy just to have a big bowl of hot soapy water to hand and wash and rinse everything straight away after use so that the mixture doesn't have time to dry on :)

3. Try Lots of New Recipes

The Kitchenaid classic k45ss mixer comes with a recipe and guide book - try everything you like the look of to get a feel for your mixer. Many users also swear by the Mixer Bible as being well worth the investment to get the most out of your machine. The Mixer Bible has over 300 recipes for stand mixers.

4. Bake in Batches

Now that you have a machine to help you, it's easy to batch up your baking - you won't get tired no matter how many batches of cookies or bread you make. If you're trying to lose weight here's a tip. One lady I know, makes big batches of cookies but freezes the uncooked mixture in cookie sized portions. She only takes out enough cookie dough to serve when she needs it - and doesn't get tempted by lots of pre-baked cookies.

5. Consider Buying an Extra Bowl for Your K45SS Kitchenaid Classic Mixer

If you do plan on baking a lot in one go, consider buying an extra bowl for your Kitchenaid mixer k45ss to cut down on washing up time in between batches. They are readily available for all Kitchenaid mixers.

6. Treat Yourself to the Optional Attachments

If you want to get the most out of your k45ss consider which other attachments you might like to get now or in the future. You'll find yourself come to rely on your K45ss Kitchenaid classic mixer more and more if you have the food grinder, pasta attachment and ice cream maker - your k45ss will become even more of an asset and a real helper in the kitchen.

7. If you have any Problems with Your K45SS Kitchenaid Classic Mixer

If you have any problems and your k45ss manual doesn't help, don't hesitate to contact Kitchenaid customer service who have always been extremely helpful.
