Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, and it is great! It's really heavy-duty, so it doesn't get burned out on long, thick mixing jobs. And when I make something like GF pizza crust that needs 3 minutes of high-speed mixing, I really appreciate the stand mixer! I was lucky, because my mom bought it for me as a gift. But I would buy one myself... Jane How many of you all of a Kitchen Aide food processor. I hear others talking about them...I'm wondering what you can do with it, or make with it? they are expensive...are they worth it?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Robin, I love my Kitchen Aide mixer. I like that it can handle thick doughs, and that I can have it mixing while I prepare the next ingredient. We have the meat grinder attachment that works well for making homemade sausage without all the preservatives, and being able to adjust the spices to our tastes. I'd buy one again if this one ever wore out. Robin Ramm wrote: How many of you all of a Kitchen Aide food processor.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I also wanted to add that I too love my Kitchen Aide. I also have the food grinder attachment, but my new toy is the pasta maker! It makes the BEST noodles for homemade chicken noodle soup! I use the mixer to mix bread products. I don't think I could do my tapioca bread without it!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 What recipe do you use for your homemade noodles? Is it from one of the books or did you adapt an old favorite? I have not yet tried making pasta but I keep thinking that it sounds like the best way to go. The gf noodles we like are quite expensive! I, too, love my kitchen aide mixer. It is now about 23 years old and still going strong. I used it a LOT for 21 years and now about every other day for gf things of one kind or another. I used to wish it would give out so that I could justify getting a new one in one of the cool colors they have available now. But, it keeps on ticking. I better be careful what I wish for I guess!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I use Bette Hagman's from " The Gluten Free Gourmet - Revised Edition " . She has 2 recipies in there; one that used tapioca, potato and corn starch and the other is from the 4 bean mix. I have not tried the 4 bean mix one yet becuase I like the other so well and I tend to stick with what I know...Maybe I'll try it this weekend though, it's probably better for you... Let me know if you try it! Jonyce > What recipe do you use for your homemade noodles? Is it from one of the > books or did you adapt an old favorite?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 , I use Bette Hagmans Recipie from " Living Well Without Wheat - The Gluten Free Gourment Revised Edition. " It is the recipie for Homemade pasta and is found on page 230 of the softcover book I have. 1/3 Cup tapoica flour 2 Tablespoons potato starch flour 1/3 Cup Cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon xanthan gum 2 large eggs 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil. Combine flours, conrstarch, salt and xanthan gum. Beat eggs lightly and add oil. Pour egg mixture into flours and stir. It will feel much like pastry dough. Work into a firm ball, knead a minute or two. (I actually use my mixer for all of this and then hand knead just to make the ball. Then you run the dough through the pasta attachment several times until the sheet is as thin as you would like it to be. Then there is a second attachment that cuts it into either spagetti or fettuccini cuts. You can also just cut the sheet into 3 (witha knife) for lasagna noodles. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water with 1 Tablespoon of old for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickenss. Supposedly you can dry it or freeze it to use later, but just like your fabulous Chicken Nuggets I never have any left over to use. **When I am running the dough through the attachment the first few times, I have to " dip " it in cornstarch to help with the consistency of the dough and make it not sticky, just like you would a pie crust. Good Luck, let me know if you do it! Jonyce > > > > I also wanted to add that I too love my Kitchen Aide. I also have > the > > food grinder attachment, but my new toy is the pasta maker!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Jonyce, Thanks for sharing that. I believe I have that book. (I rarely use any of Bette Hagman's cookbooks, but I think I have all of them). I have a white kitchenaid and may be getting rid of it to buy a black one (to match my other appliances)... and they are running a deal right now that if you buy a new KitchenAid between a certain time frame, then you can get one of three attachments for free. I'd have to check to see which attachments.... And, in today's paper.. it said that all KitchenAids are 30% off at Kohl's department stores (and you can order online too). For those of you who may be interested.... ~Melonie > > > > > > I also wanted to add that I too love my Kitchen Aide.
