KitchenAid Artisan Plus 5 Qt. Stand Mixer in Cast Iron Black - KSM50PKVXBK
KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer in Cast Iron Black
Bakers rejoice; KitchenAid has upgraded its classic stand mixer with more convenience and extra precision in the KitchenAid Artisan Plus stand mixer. The elevated version of every wedding registry's must-have is designed to include everything you need to make even better batters, doughs, frostings and breads. Home chefs and bakers who love their craft will appreciate every change, too, like the new speed settings on the KitchenAid Artisan Plus mixer. With 11 preset speeds, bakers can move between a top speed of 10 back down to half-speed. That's below the former lowest speed of 1, giving you extra precision in sifting, scraping and mixing. The KitchenAid Artisan Plus gives you extra flexibility here, too; glide between each preset mixing speed with help from Precision Speed Control until you find the perfect choice for what you're making.
Let There Be Better Lighting
The KitchenAid Artisan Plus brings the best of a classic mixer like the regular Artisan to the kitchen countertop, like its planetary turning action and the assortment of extra attachments that work well. But the small kitchen appliance is designed to help you keep a better eye on your mixes with something else: a new bright light. This addition lets you see every angle of the KitchenAid Artisan Plus bowl and what's inside. It switches on automatically when the head is lowered and powered on, or users can turn it on manually. You'll be able to see everything in your KitchenAid Artisan Plus bowl below, from flour and sugar that need better integration to the color of your cake's frosting.
Better Scraping Action
Finally, there's the new included attachment, the scraper. The KitchenAid Artisan Plus comes with the double flex edge beater. This attachment both mixes and scrapes, ensuring that what's inside combines … and lowering the need for you to pause, scrape with a spatula, and restart like with other mixers. Between the upgraded scraping, Precision Speed Control and added light, the KitchenAid Artisan Plus stand mixer is a great addition to the home that needs a mixer or for anyone hoping to replace an aging model. And with colors exclusive to the Plus line, they can be hard to resist. Order yours online for quick shipping, or call our experts at 800-860-3577 if you have questions.
