With its 3 power outlets, the Cuisinart SM-70 stand mixer makes the use of these dedicated attachments so much easier.
Cookies turned out delicious, but we did have to scrape down the side of the bowl during mixing. You can see some cuisinart pots and pans set unmixed butter on the left side over there. Everything about this pasta extruder attachment was perfect.
However, you can also purchase additional attachments, like a meat grinder or an ice cream paddle. It has 12 speed options, allowing you to customize and perfect your mixing performance depending on what you’re making. This stand mixer also has a tilt-back head that gives you easy access to its large, stainless steel bowl without making a mess. Let’s first discuss the performance of the mixer.
At Everything Kitchens, we rigorously tested our top-selling mixers to find the perfect match for every cooking style. We literally got out our stopwatches and figuratively went through these mixers with a fine-tooth comb to see where each excels and where each could do better. There are additional attachments for the Cuisinart Precision Stand Mixer available for purchase—from a meat grinderto an ice cream maker—further heightening just what this versatile appliance can do.
These include a citrus juicer, pasta maker, blender, food processor, and meat grinder. While the number of attachments are not as numerous as those available from KitchenAid, we find them all to be of very high quality. Cuisinart does cover the basics, and provides all you need for standard cooking tasks. We also like the fact this is a tilt-head model that allows easy access to the bowl and easy removal of the supplied whisk, dough hook, beater, and other attachments.
The Cuisinart does have a much better bowl design that is deeper with convenient handles, and the base Kenwood does not have the slew of slow start and timing functions that the Cuisinart has . Like KitchenAidand the Bosch Universal cuisinart pots and pans set Plus Kitchen Machine, optional accessories are available for the Cusinart SM-55/SM-55BC/SM-55BK Stand Mixers. This feature shuts the machine off if it becomes overloaded, before this has a chance to destroy the gears or motor.
All I can mix in it is brownies, not bread, no protein bars. So I will certainly be buying another Cuisinart. Add in the gentle-fold function for recipes that require careful blending of ingredients and the Cuisinart stand mixer is near the top of our list of very satisfactory kitchen appliances. Performance – we found the performance to be above average with this model; it’s thoughtfully designed bowl functions very well and keeps the ingredients in the bowl. The shield was very well designed, the low speed options were great, and the timer was very useful – all features NOT found on other machines at this price level.
The attractive metallic red color with chrome bands looks great in any kitchen. If you want to make thick bread doughs, I would recommend a different mixer like the Bosch or KitchenAid. The Cuisinart Precision Master Mixer is too light-weight and has too powerful of a motor causing the mixer head to shake around while trying to knead thick doughs.
Not only do they make both cooking and baking tasks easier, they can save you a ton of time in the kitchen. I have not had an opportunity to use it myself, but I guided my 16 year old through using it to bake a cake for her Nana and PopPop. Despite reviews of other owners, we found that if you plan for your project and properly attach the spout, it it’s easy to add ingredients.
