Stand mixers allow you to blend, whip and mix things like cookie dough. A stand mixer often comes with attachments to make kitchen work more efficient like dough hooks you can use to knead yeast bread dough.

You can use your KitchenAid stand mixer with a whisk to beat egg whites or for mixing sauces. The idea is to let your stand mixer do the work for you. You don't even have to knead dough anymore when electric stand mixers are equipped to do it for you.
