KitchenAid Professional Food Processor 5KSM7990

A KitchenAid stand mixer is an investment for life, and the KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer will be with you throughout that time for regular use, large quantities and all kinds of baking doughs and mixtures, and much more (from liquid mixtures and whipped batters to the densest doughs for making bread, buns, cakes and cake decorations).

What does the Professional name mean on a KitchenAid stand mixer?

• It means that this beater, mixer and kneader, all in one, is designed for intensive use and to withstand demanding workloads, both at home and in a professional environment.

What sets the KitchenAid Professional mixer apart

This KitchenAid model offers the same functions as the classic Artisan mixer, but also includes additional features:

1. It provides greater stability for intensive use thanks to its arms, which hold the mixing bowl securely and allow it to be positioned at different heights.
2. It offers greater power and bowl capacity: the power is 325 W and the bowl has a capacity of either 6.6 litres or 6.9 litres, depending on the model.
3. It also features an emergency stop switch and a metal safety guard, allowing it to be used in a professional environment.

NOTE! Remember that all KitchenAid stand mixers sold by Claudia&Julia are official units supplied by KitchenAid's authorised distributor in Spain and come with the full manufacturer's warranty for this country.

What you can do with it

Its 325 watts of power are distributed across 10 speed settings designed for all kinds of recipes, from the simplest to the most sophisticated:

• 1: Stir ingredients slowly: combine, mash, mix, etc. For adding flour and dry ingredients to mixtures, adding liquids to dry ingredients and combining thick mixtures.
• 2-3: Mix slowly: ideal for making mashed potatoes or other vegetables, making confectionery, cutting fat into flour, preparing thin and liquid mixtures that splash easily, and mixing and kneading yeast doughs.
• 4-5: Mix and beat: for semi-thick mixtures, such as creaming sugar and fat, and for adding sugar to egg whites when making meringue. Medium speed for mixing cake batters.
• 6-7: Beat vigorously: for whipping creams at a medium-fast speed.
• 8-9: Beat or mix quickly: for whipping cream, egg whites and meringues, including Italian or cooked meringues.
• 10: Mix very quickly: for quickly whipping small quantities of cream or egg whites.

Power

While similar products from other brands rely on high speed combined with relatively low force to achieve a specific power output, KitchenAid products operate at a lower speed but with greater raw force, giving us lower electricity consumption with superior efficiency.

Why we like it

For us, the entire range of KitchenAid mixers and kneaders is a classic; we love them. And the fact that they have stood the test of time is testament to their quality – they never go out of style!

The Professional stand mixer is just as versatile as all KitchenAid products and features the brand's signature timeless design, which is as beautiful as it is practical.
