Stand mixer

Yeah.

Not a Kitchenaid, though. Just look at the hook in OP's image. Pathetic.

I once made a cocktail that consisted of almost an entire bottle of vodka, several cups of ice, and some random cans of discontinued energy drink I got from the dollar store, and an assload of ice, and I drank it out of a stand mixer bowl like a giant mug.

I drank the whole thing and shitposted on Veeky Forums until 4am. That was a bad time in my life

What the fuck kind of dough are you making at home that requires 30 minutes of kneading?

>2016
>still kneading dough
shiggy diggy

Friend of mine picked up a Pro 5 plus for under $300, best value for any kitchen item I have except maybe my ceramic pan set for under $100. You can make anything with them and they make attachments. If you buy in to the brand and get all the stuff it comes out cheaper and saves space in the end. It can be: a food processor, noodle maker, mixer (obviously), cheese grater, etc. They are worth the money if you use them.

30 minutes? sounds like youre way overkneading your dough. 10 minutes by hand is usually enough for me, sometimes too much.

jesus dude...

>so expensive?

They are?

they need to be sturdy because kneading dough requires force. cheap ones will have many plastic components and break in no time. a good, expensive one will have all metal components so it lasts for more than a few weeks

and kitchenaid ones have plastic components.

A proper mixer, like a Hobart, costs thousands.

If anything the Kitchenaid is the "cheapie".
