A:AnswerJust mix once in the mixer and when you achieve the window pane texture of the dough you can take it out and ferment it for an hour or until the size of the dough doubles .
A:AnswerYes! The metal bowl that comes with this mixer is 5 quarts, and KitchenAid makes a 5 quart glass bowl specifically for stand mixers that even has the measurement markings like a measuring cup would.
A:AnswerYes it is! I got mine about a month ago and the first thing I made with it was a batch of dough for three loaves. Just make sure you're using the dough hook attachment.
A:AnswerHi Barb, The 120 volt (U.S.) appliances are not compatible with 220/240 volt requirements of other countries (as well as vice versa).
What many consumers are not aware of is the potential danger that differences in cycles/second can create. Where in the United States electricity is delivered at 60 Hertz (Hz), most other countries deliver the electricity at 50 Hz. Running 60 Hz appliances in a 50 Hz environment forces the motor in your appliance to run at a slower speed, and can potentially cause immediate motor or operational failure. Not only is this failure not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, but has been known to result in electrical shortages and/or fires.
Additionally, KitchenAid does not recommend the use of a transformer for any KitchenAid countertop appliance. Doing so could cause damage to your appliance or the home electrical system, as noted above.

A:AnswerHi red, The Artisan Stand Mixer does feature rubber feet on the bottom of the mixer to keep it in place as it is being used. It also features a lock to keep the motor head in the down position.
A:AnswerHI ED83, KitchenAid made the decision in 2016 to no longer place the spring on the beater shaft on all Classic and Artisan Tilt Head Mixers. By removing the spring and washer on the shaft, it is a benefit as it leaves the beater shaft much easier to clean without the spring. It is also not necessary for the operation of the unit as the tools stay locked without them.
