Know before you buy
The Bakery Chef uses planetary mixing action, which ensures the attachment rotates around the bowl while simultaneously spinning on its own axis. This movement provides thorough coverage, reaching all areas of the bowl to prevent unmixed ingredients.
Yes, the glass bowl is durable and substantial, which provides excellent stability during operation. However, it is heavier than a standard stainless steel bowl, so you may need to use both hands when pouring or cleaning.
With its 500-watt motor and included dough hook, this mixer is capable of kneading standard bread doughs. It is designed to handle the resistance of thicker mixtures, though you should always follow the manufacturer's capacity guidelines to avoid overworking the motor.
The 360-degree splash guard is designed to enclose the top of the bowl, which significantly reduces flour clouds and splatters during the initial mixing stages. It also includes a pouring chute, allowing you to add ingredients while the mixer is running without making a mess.
The mixer features electronic controls that allow you to toggle between 10 distinct speed settings. This gives you the precision needed to gently fold in delicate ingredients or increase power for whipping meringues.
The tilt-head design allows you to easily lift the mixer head away from the bowl. This makes it much simpler to scrape down the sides, add ingredients, or remove the bowl and attachments without obstruction.
