Cookies and cakes, mostly baking. DH uses the dough hook for bread. Wish I had the ice cream maker attachments and some of the pasta making bits, but they are pricy!

How do you make mashed potato, which attachment do you use???

chattygranny · 27/07/2016 20:43

Have to say my best mash is with a potato ricer....

FiveGoMadInDorset · 27/07/2016 20:45

Bread
Meringue
Mayonnaise
Ice cream
Cakes

kiwis, yes, some of the attachments look great.

Bombay, I just Googled for how to make mashed potatoes - the method I use used both the flat beater and the wire whisk. I'm sure there must be a simpler method though!

Stroking and whispering sweet nothings into its beautiful cavernous bowl

Bombaybunty · 27/07/2016 21:21

I have a sausage making attachment and I've never used it.
I really should....

SpaceKablooie · 27/07/2016 21:27

Grin Pickle.

I have 2x bowls - a metal one and a glass one with a lid.

Space - chiffon cakes are mainly made from whipped eggs whites with a little flour/sugar/oil/egg yolks folded in. Very, very light. Mainly found in Japanese or Chinese bakeries.

Gileswithachainsaw · 29/07/2016 17:55

Dough
Cakes
Biscuits
Frosting

I loves it. It's stroked daily

TranquilityofSolitude · 29/07/2016 18:02

Pastry - especially the sweet shortbread one in the KitchenAid book. It's brilliant. I never made pastry before because it never came out well, so this is a great development!

SpaceKablooie · 29/07/2016 19:56

Oh, thanks choc, I want to make one now Smile.

Same as Pickle Grin and the occasional cake.
