naughty Nino under the table, his mouth full with peppermint marshmallow

…. I just found out, is now available at Amazon!

Here’s my original post on it, 5 years ago when it was younger : Utensibility Meme

I was just going to post something about this workhorse of mine. The past three weeks it has made two batches of peppermint marshmallows, six batches of macarons (one a complete flop, but that was my fault), 2 fruitcakes, a batch of Food for the Gods, sugar cookies and gingerbread, a batch of ensaimada, plus rainbow cookies and shortbread…. all without complaint. It is my most steadfast companion in the kitchen (besides my loving dh who volunteers to wash dishes and pots and pans and baking sheets often!)…. so faithful, so reliable. It just finished mixing 3 pannetone recipes and 3 batches of Cinnabon rolls. I don’t know what I’d do without it. Thank you, Electrolux!!

I also found the Amazon review that said this was rated low by Cook’s Illustrated. I discovered that review a couple of years ago and thought of writing the folks at CI (whom I respect and admire a lot! except for THAT review). All I can say is, they don’t know what they’re missing. When I first started working with macarons, I worried that the mixer bowl would be too big to handle 90 grams of egg whites, but NO problem at all. After five years of baking with this machine, it still works like a dream.
