Russell Hobbs 25931 Emma Bridgewater Stand Mixer - Polka Dot Food Mixer for Baking with Whisk, Beater and Dough Hook Attachments, 5 Litre, 1000 Watt

Product Information

It’s also one of the heaviest stand mixers available, at a knee-bending 11kg with accessories. It did make some delicious cake though, and you can buy plenty of additional attachments to make pasta, ice cream, and even stuff sausages if you so wish. We found that the Artisan mixer is both quiet and efficient. There’s also an optional pouring shield to prevent splashes, and it comes with a wire whisk, flat beater and dough hook as default. The classic tilt-head design will fit under your kitchen cabinets, and because there's so many colours to choose from (not to mention countless custom bowls and other matching appliances such as the best food processors) we know it will look the part too. Its tools are the usual three of whisk (the only part not dishwasher-safe), beater and dough hook. This last one was especially good in that our bread dough didn’t wrap itself around the hook, but moved and kneaded it around the bowl efficiently. lighter and 20% smaller than the Kitchenaid Artisan mixer, the KitchenAid Artisan Mini is great for those who want the charm of a KitchenAid mixer but with a smaller profile. It has a flat beater, wire whisk, and dough hook for all your baking needs, and you can also wash all of these (apart from the whisk) in the dishwasher.

To add to this, in 2019, the brand launched its first collaboration with Russell Hobbs to include a range of two- and four-slice toasters and three kettles in the fan-favourite pink hearts and toast and marmalade designs. Now this selection has expanded further to include two more handy kitchen appliances to make life easier while cooking and baking. Speed: The majority of stand mixers use planetary mixing action. This means the tool orbits while the arm moves around the bowl. This action should mean that the mixture is moved towards the middle of the bowl rather than being flung out to the sides. Each mixer will have a range of speeds, controlled by a slider or a dial. This allows you to build up to the speed you want gradually. For those often in the kitchen preparing a batch of cakes and bakes (school fairs?), the Russell Hobbs and Emma Bridgewater mixer will serve you well. Not only does it have a large bowl capacity but it is extremely powerful, which can cut your baking time in half. The beater and whisk attachments can literally whip up a storm in no time, while the bread hook can knead dough without fuss. The mixer itself is pretty wide, so you’ll need ample room on the worktop, and preferably not under a low-hanging cabinet as the head-tilt goes up high. If you did want a small yet superb mixer though, the Kitchen Aid Artisan Mini Tilt-Head mixer would be ideal. Overall, the country-style, polka dot design and affordable price of the Russell Hobbs and Emma Bridgewater mixer makes this one a real gem. About this review, and reviewer It comes with a generous, 5-litre stainless steel mixing bowl, three attachments – a large whisk, beater and dough hook, and a handy splatter guard. There is also an instructions book with delicious recipes inside for inspiration.This pumpkin cast iron dish has become my favourite piece of cookware I'll be using long after Halloween You can opt for the iconic mixers from KitchenAid and Kenwood, but our guide also features some options from Cuisinart and Bosch. There's even a mixer from Morphy Richards, which isn't technically a stand mixer, but really wowed us in testing thanks to its smart and compact design. How much should I spend on a mixer?

There are 12 speeds, from a gentle stir (which we found invaluable for starting to mix dough) to a rapid whisk that took the effort out of making meringues. The mixer shook a little on the highest settings but stayed steady on the worktop. None of the attachments can go in the dishwasher, which is a bit of a pain, but we did find that they are easy enough to clean by hand. The mixer is great for smaller kitchen counters, because it's lightweight and can slot under kitchen cabinets with ease. Stand mixers often feature more than one outlet – the main outlet being using to rotate the tool in the bowl. Additional ones are usually located at the front of the machine or on the top of the lever arm. These allow you to power attachments, turning your simple stand mixer into a multifunctional kitchen helper. Standard mixer attachments include a blender jug for making smoothies and soups, or crushing ice, and sometimes a food processor for slicing, grating and chopping. Slow start and pause functions: There may also be a ‘soft start’ slow speed to prevent fine ingredients, such as flour, puffing out before the speed ramps up. Another useful feature is a pause function. This stops the machine mixing so you can add ingredients, before returning to the same speed. Some mixers may also have preset programmes for food types such as cake or gentle ‘fold’ options.
