The KitchenAid standing mixer and the multi-cooker are my two favorite kitchen appliances in my house. (okay the microwave is pretty awesome too!)
I have talked some about the multi-cooker in other posts, but today I want to talk about the six things that I like to do with my Kitchen Aid standing mixer and attachments besides mixing batter or dough.
-
Mix Meatloaf or Meatballs
I use the basic mixer and the flat beater that comes with most mixers to mix up my meatloaf and meatball ingredients.
2. Mix Guacamole and other dips
The basic mixer and beaters also work great for evenly blending guacamole and other dips.
3. Spiralizing Vegetables
I love the 7-blade spiralizer for making vegetable spirals. Vegetable spirals are a great way to add more healthy vegetables into your recipes!
4. Making Vegetable Lasagna Noodles with the Vegetable Sheet Cutter.
What is a vegetable sheet cutter, you ask? Think, lasagna noodles made out of zucchini!!!
5. Slicing Vegetables
I like to make freezer meals in bulk, but I don’t love cutting all the vegetable at once that go into multiple recipes. The Vegetable Slicer/Shredder makse slicing vegetable so much easier!
6. Dicing Vegetables
The Food Processor attachment, again makes it so much easier to dice lots of vegetables at once!
Is the KitchenAid Standing Mixer awesome or what! I just love all the attachments, and all the creative things you can do witht he standing mixer! Which is your favorite attachment? What are some other ways you use your standing mixer?

I love my stand-up mixer! It was gifted to me a few years ago by my aunt and I use it several times a week. I had no idea about slicing up veggies though and I am totally going to try that. Mine gets used mainly for homemade bread and mashed potatoes!
We love our KitchenAid mixer! Recently it has been getting a lot of use making pizza dough. We have also made our own ground beef for burgers in the past. I think the next attachment I buy will be a spiralizer. I’ve been meaning to get one for a while.
I love appliances that multi-task! I had no idea you could do so many things with a standing mixer!
So many great ideas!! Thanks for sharing these. 🙂
Yes! I love to make Ice Cream in mine with the attachment!
I don’t have a standing mixer but I’ve always wanted one. Now I want one even more!
This is so cool, I never thought of it! I mean… I always wondered what else you could so beside mixing the dough, but never took the time to research.
I plan on buying my Mum a standing mixer for Christmas, so these will be quite handy.
Thanks!
I used to be a hobby baker, so I bought a KitchenAid mixer. Until reading your post, I didn’t know I could do so much with it! I’ve had it a good 15 years and only used it for cake batter haha! Meatloaf is one of my favorites and using it for that is a fantastic idea! Great post!
I haven’t gotten into trying any of the attachments yet. I definitely want to try the spiralizer!
Love these ideas! I’ll definitely try using my standing mixer for meatballs! I hadn’t thought of that before!
Great ideas! now I wish I had a stand mixer!
This is fantastic and gives me more than enough reasons to finally cave in and buy a mixer!
Right! Now to pick the color…hmmmm….
The guacamole is one I’ve never thought of! Thanks for the new suggestions!
I need all of the attachments! I need to make some spirals!
Loooove this! I was in need of inspiration for dusting off my beautiful mixer…thank you!
Great ideas! Thanks for all of the tips!
SoI dont have one yet, but its on my christmas list! I’m going to pin this so I can go back and make some of these recipes!
oh yay! What a fun Christmas present!
