Buying Guide
FAQs
What is the best attachment for making frosting?
For most frostings, the flat beater (also called a paddle attachment) is the best choice. It’s designed to cream together butter and sugar efficiently and mix in other ingredients without incorporating too much air, which is ideal for a smooth, dense frosting.
When should I use the whisk attachment instead of the flat beater?
You should use the wire whisk when you want a light and airy frosting, such as a Swiss meringue buttercream or whipped cream frosting. The whips incorporate a large amount of air into the mixture, creating volume and a fluffy texture that the flat beater cannot achieve.
Can I use the dough hook for frosting?
No, the dough hook is not suitable for making frosting. It is specifically designed for kneading heavy, dense yeast doughs and will not properly combine the delicate ingredients needed for frosting, potentially damaging your mixer in the process.
How do I choose between a standard flat beater and a flex-edge beater?
A flex-edge beater has a silicone spatula edge that scrapes the sides of the bowl as it mixes, saving you from having to stop and scrape by hand. While more expensive, it’s a great value for frequent bakers as it ensures ingredients are fully incorporated and saves time.
Are stand mixer attachments universal across different brands?
No, stand mixer attachments are not universal and are typically designed to fit the specific power hub and bowl design of a particular brand (like KitchenAid, Cuisinart, etc.). Always check that an attachment is compatible with your specific mixer model before purchasing.
What is the most versatile attachment to have?
The flat beater is the most versatile attachment for any home baker. It’s essential for making frostings, cookie dough, cake batters, and mashed potatoes, making it the workhorse for a wide variety of common mixing tasks.
How do I prevent my frosting from becoming grainy?
To avoid grainy frosting, start by creaming softened butter and sugar together for several minutes until the mixture is very light and pale. This process dissolves the sugar crystals. Using a flat beater and ensuring your ingredients are at room temperature will also help create a smooth, non-grainy final product.
