KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus Series Mixer Review

After years of coveting a KitchenAid, I finally tracked down a bargain I thought was too good to resist.  Although it still seems like a lot of money to pay for a mixer-- I'm not an every day, or even a once-a-week baker-- I haven't regretted the purchase.

 This can whip through a double batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with no sweat-- a recipe that can certainly be mixed by hand, but by the time you were finished, felt like your wrist was going to snap, and that a hand mixer simply couldn't handle.
