FOR THE KITCHEN

From their iconic stand mixers to sleek benchtop essentials, KitchenAid has built its reputation – and a strong cult following - on timeless design, durable metal construction, and appliances that genuinely make cooking easier. Words Bec Summer KitchenAid essentials for every home

KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Ceramic Floral Bowl If you love appliances with personality, this satin desaturated purple mixer with its ceramic floral bowl is a definite eye-catcher. The 4.7L ceramic bowl handles small to large batches with ease, while the flat beater tackles cakes, cookies, and mashed potatoes. The dough hook kneads bread and pizza dough, and the six-wire whip can aerate cream, egg whites, and mayo to perfection. The full metal build ensures stability, even with dense doughs, and the tilting head makes adding ingredients easy. Optional hub attachments expand its capabilities even further – think pasta rollers or veggie spiralisers. This mixer does the heavy lifting while you prep other ingredients or entertain guests, and dishwasher-safe attachments make cleanup a breeze.

S porting sleek curves, shiny chrome highlights, and a variety of colours to suit your décor, KitchenAid appliances look as good as they perform and are designed for showing off, not storing away in a cupboard. So, if you’re ready to upgrade your kitchen inventory, these beauties are a good, long-term investment that can brighten up your bench.

This mixer isn’t just about looks, though. The 4.8L and 2.8L bowls provide serious flexibility – mix cake batter in one while whipping icing in the other. Then there are ten speed options to handle everything from gently kneading pizza dough to whipping cream, while the included flex edge beater, pastry beater, dough hook, and wire whip have you covered for cookies, breads, shredded chicken, and more. It can power through heavy dough and large batches without you lifting a finger, and the tilt-head design makes swapping out attachments quick and simple. Plus, most accessories are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is as easy as prep.
