Or evil if you’re more inclined to diet-friendly dishes, which the Ultra Power can also easily handle but which we don’t want to talk about as this isn’t the time or place to get into those sorts of things. Honestly, you’ll be astonished by what you can mix and prepare with those three heads, which when used in conjunction with the Ultra Power’s ten-speed gearbox (which makes it sound more rugged than just referring to the speeds that it can mix at as different “tempos” or some other such disposable, nonsensical term) that’ll take you from a slow, comfortable stir all the way through to an incredibly fast whip at the flick of a switch and in the blink of an eye, amounts to a whole lot of mixing power than you can use for good. The Ultra Power also comes with three interchangeable mixing heads, namely a flat beater, a six-wire whip, and a C-hook dough mixer, which means that you’ll be good to use the Ultra Power to start mixing whatever you want almost as soon as you take it out of the box. The bowl is also made from stainless steel, so it’ll probably last longer than the Ultra Power will, it’s easy to clean and it will never, ever rust. Then there’s the bowl that comes with the Ultra Power, which measures in at an incredibly respectable four and a half quarts, which means that there’s more than enough room in it to mix up just about anything that you want.īread and pizza dough? No problem, the Ultra Power will prepare more than enough to feed the most hungry, demanding families, and you can mix enough cake batter in it to keep your entire office in Victoria Sponge for a week.Īnd there’ll still be enough left over to make more than enough cake to feed the office next door too. And it’s always nice to know that the clean-up is going to be just as straightforward and simple as using the mixer is. It might seem a little odd to discuss the ease and simplicity of cleaning before we’ve even started to talk about the mixer, but sometimes it’s better to get these things out of the way first. The head snaps down into place when you want the Ultra Power to start mixing, and you just lift it away, remove whichever blade you’re using to mix whatever it is you were mixing, and clean both the bowl and the attachment.

The first thing that scored a big tick in its favor, is that the Ultra Power is a tilt-head mixer, which means that while it’s a little long in the tooth as far as the technology it uses is concerned, it’s incredibly easy to clean when you’ve finished mixing. With a name like Ultra Power we were expecting big things and all sorts of muscular mixing power from this Kitchenaid mixer, and it didn’t let us down. Let’s start with one of Kitchenaid’s most well-known stand mixers, the Ultra Power. So let’s get stuck in and start mixing in with Kitchenaid… Kitchenaid Ultra Power Stand Mixer That way we’d know which one was right for us.Īnd if it’s the right one for us, chances are it’ll be the right one for you too. The thing is though, how do you choose which stand mixer to buy from the company that invented them?Īfter all, it’s not as though Kitchenaid only makes one model of stand mixer.įollowing some careful consideration, we decided that the best course of action to take would be to take a much closer look at two of their best selling, and most beloved stand mixers in order to find out which was the better mixer. She gave a brand a name and encouraged her husband to further develop the stand mixer. Upon seeing it, his wife exclaimed “That’s the best Kitchenaid I’ve ever seen”, and by doing so killed two birds with one baking sized stone. In 1919 Herbert Johnson, an Ohio engineer invented an egg beater called the H5, which later morphed into the stand mixer. It turns out that Kitchenaid is also responsible for inventing the stand mixer, albeit in a roundabout sort of way.
