Top Brand Names For Your Kitchen

I hate to play favorites but there are just some brands that work better than others and working in a professional kitchen for over 15 years, I know how to abuse a few things. Okay a lot. Between baking, mixing, tenderizing, chopping, emulsifying, and many other daily tasks performed in the kitchen, I have tried them all, both cheap and on the high end, and when you are prepping for over 600 people the last thing you want or need is for the equipment to keel over.

Kitchen Aid is my top fave. Not only do they back up their warranty, but their products are very durable. If I can grind over 50 pounds of beef with the basic standing mixer in an hour, that says a lot about the company. They also have a ton of attachments for their standing mixers, although you need to make sure you purchase one that allows it. Now Kitchen Aid makes other kitchen appliances although I just stick to the mixer for now, I don't want them to catch on I pulverize all of my kitchen appliances banning me from their warranty policies. I do like their website because you can see a demo of the kitchen appliance in action as well as the attachment you want to check out before buying.

While other "off" brands offer various types of small kitchen appliances just remember you get what you pay for, although if you are not sure about the amount of use you will actually get out of your desired kitchen appliance you can check out sites like amazon and ebay that offer used equipment for a fraction of the cost. I do recommend this for the first time buyers, there is no need to break the bank for an appliance you will not use at least 3 times a week.
