It’s no secret that I love my KitchenAid stand mixer, it’s my most prized possession, and I always recommend it as one of the best stand mixers you can buy. So when I got the chance to try the pastry beater attachment, which doesn’t come as a standard accessory, I could hardly refuse.
I recently tested KitchenAid’s flex-edge beater, and I was so impressed with the silicon edge on the attachment, and how it scrapes mixture from the side of the bowl that I couldn’t understand why it’s not included with every stand mixer the brand sells. Would I feel the same way about the pastry beater as I did about the flex-edge beater? I put it to the test to find out.
