The Artisan Plus is the newest evolution of KitchenAid's classic tilt head stand mixer, and the first in the range to come with a built in bowl light. That light switches on automatically whenever the head is lowered or the mixer is running, so you can watch every stage of the mix without lifting the head to check. A twist of the control knob gives you Precision Speed Control, letting you glide smoothly between the 11 preset speeds to land on the exact texture your recipe calls for. It arrives with a full set of stainless steel accessories, including the double flex edge beater, and is ready to take on everything from delicate meringues to heavy bread dough.
Features:
Integrated bowl light: Switches on automatically when the head is lowered or the mixer is running, and can also be turned on manually with the control knob.
Precision Speed Control: Twist the control knob to glide smoothly between speeds and find the exact setting your recipe needs.
Double flex edge beater: Flexible silicone edges scrape the bowl as they mix, cutting down on manual scraping between additions.
Planetary mixing action: The beater rotates one way while the shaft turns the other, reaching at least 59 touchpoints around the bowl for a thorough mix.
Soft Start and half fold speed: Soft Start eases into each mix to keep dry ingredients in the bowl, while the half fold speed gently folds in delicate ingredients without losing lift.
