I’ve been an avid cook and baker since childhood and have heard nothing but great things about KitchenAid Stand mixerBut I spent decades thinking I didn’t need one. Why would I buy a device that costs hundreds of dollars when I have a complete set of it kitchenwareIn addition to my hands for mixing, whipping, and kneading?
But last year I got to the point where I got tired of cooking and baking. And I’ll admit it: I’ve been impressed watching videos of my favorite chefs and food creators easily making delicious desserts and more using their KitchenAid mixers. So my partner and I combined our holiday gift cards and purchased a five-quart tilt head KitchenAid Artisan Series.
I can admit when I’m wrong, and I was wrong about the KitchenAid mixer not being worth the cost — especially because I’ve learned it’s not just for baking. In fact, there are many amazing foods you can prepare in your KitchenAid stand mixer to take some effort out of your time in the kitchen.
1. Chicken salad
I got the idea for this article when I saw a TikTok creator Jenna Dennis Use their KitchenAid blender to shred chicken for chicken salad. Even though I’m a vegetarian, I did the same thing with… Chopped chicken pieces without meatAnd it worked perfectly. After shredding the “chicken” with the covered flat blender, I added the remaining ingredients and had KitchenAid mix up the entire salad.
Besides chopping the chicken alone, you can use a blender to prepare chicken salad.
2. Egg salad
Once I successfully made a vegetarian chicken salad in my KitchenAid stand mixer, it got me thinking: What about egg salad? It turns out it works as well. I simply peel the hard-boiled eggs, add them to the blender, use the electric mixer to mash them, then add the rest of the ingredients for a delicious and easy egg salad.
