When it comes to how we test stand mixers, I don't like to sugarcoat anything (except, of course when I'm icing a cake). Stand mixers are a big kitchen investment, so you want to make sure that they can deliver perfect pavlova and pillowy bread dough. How do I do it? Roll up your sleeves.
Before I get to adorn my apron, I do a lot of research into the best stand mixers. I look into KitchenAid, Kenwood, Salter, Smeg and more, leaving no bowl unscraped and no dough unmixed. In the last two years of testing stand mixers, I've baked more than 112,000 cupcakes, 100 loaves of bread; and whisked over 12L of double cream.
