Types of Stand Mixer Attachments: Mixer Attachment Uses

Aside from the beater and whisk attachment that comes with your stand mixer, there are a few other mixer attachments that you ought to consider:

Meat Grinder Attachments: Not just for making ground beef and sausages, a stand mixer food grinder can also be used for vegetarian options as well. Use these versatile stand mixer accessories to grind chickpeas for falafel or mince carrots and celery for a hearty winter stew.

Pasta Mixer Attachments: Skip the boxed version in favor of homemade noodles when you use a stand mixer pasta press. Simply place your dough into the attachment, select your noodle shape and watch as the mixer extrudes perfect noodles ready for cooking.

Paddle Attachments: The stand mixer paddle attachment is the gold standard for mixing baking ingredients. Over time, especially if you use your mixer on a regular basis, you may need to replace this accessory.

Dough Mixer Hook: Tired of kneading bread dough by hand? A dough hook attachment for your mixer might be the solution. Rather than mixing like a beater, the dough hook moves the dough around in the bowl to strengthen the gluten bonds, giving your bread structure and texture.

Pastry Mixer Attachments: Specifically designed for creating light and flaky pastries, pastry mixers are ideal for cutting cold butter and incorporating ingredients for your favorite scones and biscuits.
