Update!

Thank you Butter Yum for this additional information "KitchenAid, the company that makes the stand mixers, does NOT make or recommend this product, stating that your warranty will be void if you use it" You can wait till your warranty on your mixer ends then use it or take the risk as I did.

Since I have become a bit burned out on food blogging, although I am still creating and cooking up a storm, I decided I would share some of my favorite gadgets with you all on Thursdays.

I do have a thing for gadgets, and a huge drawer full of them, as well as stashed all over my kitchen. My most recent purchase was this little dreamboat of a gadget, the Kitchenaide Beater Blade. I have to say it has become one of my favorite gadgets. It gets into all of your bowl and scrapes the sides, no more doing that manually. It ranges in price from $22 to $28 dollars and it was money very well spent!


Here is what Kitchenaide says about it..........

"This is really a great idea, the best idea in mixing we've seen in years and years. The patented, new BeaterBlade + (plus) employes a "wing-system" design, much like the wiper blades on a car, to continuously scrape the sides and bottom of your mixer bowl while it's mixing. Amazingly enough, this design can cut mixing time by up to 50%!

A BeaterBlade + replaces your mixer's current blade to thoroughly incorporate ingredients, virtually eliminate hand-scraping of the bowl and do away with batter build-up on the blade.

It's the most revolutionary advance in stand mixers in years and years.The soft, flexible, silicone "wings" fully scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, even the "dimple" at the bottom, cutting mixing times for a cheesecake from 13 minutes to 7 minutes, and for banana bread from 12 minutes to 6 minutes. You get consistent, foolproof results in less time with less effort"
