Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer Cloudy Pink

Not familiar with the Ankarsrum Assistent Original stand mixer? Well, it's been around since 1940, and has been a European favorite for decades. Now it's here in the U.S. and it has already been named the winner of the America's Test Kitchen stand mixer competition. The Assistent features a massive 7.4-qt. polished stainless-steel mixing bowl, as well as a 4.5-qt. clear TRITAN whipping bowl, and it looks and operates in a fundamentally different way than the conventional stand mixers we're used to in this country. Those tall mixers have the motor in the top, over the mixing bowl, and move the beaters around in a circle inside the stationary bowl. With the shorter, squater Ankarsrum Assistent, the beaters spin in a fixed position while it's the mixing bowl itself that rotates, powered by the bottom-mounted motor. It's a whole different way of doing things, and it gives the Assistent the power to thoroughly mix up to 11 lbs. of even the stiffest bread dough. The Ankarsrum Assistent Original really is the mixer of choice for the serious home bread baker. Each assistant is hand-assembled in Sweden, tested individually before leaving the factory, and is backed by a 7-year manufacturer's warranty.
