My (Second) Favourite Tool
Another weekend and another Weekend Engagement call-to-action by @galenkp. The subject I chose was about tools to play with on the weekend and I was gonna write about my favourite and most used tool, but he declined to be involved and the pictures would have been R-rated…
So my second favourite tool it is then; my Kitchen Aid!
I think we were meant to showcase power tools but while I’ve been doing some renovations lately, I can’t claim to use much tools, I leave that bit to the man. I’m sure Galen will give me a pass for showing a kitchen tool because I can make munkkis with it!
I splurged on the classic Kitchen Aid stand mixer almost ten years ago and it has served me really well. It’s due for some maintanence and a new dough hook, but other than that it’s great. I love a quality piece that you can get spare parts for indefinitely and lots of different kind of attachments suited to your needs. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s so gorgeous so it can be out on the counter always.
I only have the ice cream bowl as extra, but I am eyeing some new smaller bowls and maybe some fun things like the meat grinder and vegetable shredder thingy. I am also going to at some point get some other Kitchen Aid tools like the hand whisk and toaster.
I don’t bake weekly but when I do, Kitchen Aid mixer is always used. I make breads, pizza dough, cakes, munkkis and even mashed potatoes using the mixer.
Here’s how the Kitchen Aid used to look like before we painted it to suit my current style more, sporting the ice cream maker bowl.
Lolled at declined to be involved.
Also, any opportunity to tease me about munkkis huh. Ya scamp!
You pester me about the woolly stuff, I tease you with munkki, I think it only fair :)
It works huh? It's like perfect balance. ✅
Hi Mrs @eveuncovered.
These are mandatory tools that must be in your kitchen cabinets. Without these tools, then you are nothing.
Have a nice day.
Well that’s not true at all 😂 you can bake and cook with very minimal gadgets if you have the skills but it surely helps to have some tools.
I love my little espresso machine. So much so that it's moved from the kitchen to the room with me now. <3
That sounds nice, but don’t you have to go to the kitchen anyways when you want to reload it? 🤔
Hmm. yeah. I have to get some plumbing in my room.

Wow the kitchen aid mixer is beautiful,I know it will be expensive😁,because it does a lot of work.
It was definitely an investment and I’m very happy with it because I’ve already had to replace all the other whisks etc many times because I bought the cheap ones that don’t last.

My favorite kitchen tool is... 🥁
Na don't mind me, it's plural, there's no favourite. Oh but there are favourites 😁; the chopping board, blenders, and pans, cutlery, etc. Stuff that gets hung beautifully. I like to reach out and hang back easily. Weird huh! I'm adding this mixer to my list though in the "fake" colour 🙃. I plan to learn to bake.
