SMF03CRUK Stand Mixer in Cream

A stand mixer is a specific type of food mixer that can be used for a variety of cooking tasks such as mixing, whipping, and kneading. A stand mixer is bigger and more powerful than a hand mixer, allowing you to churn through thicker doughs or mixes.

A stand mixer typically comes with a range of attachments such as a dough hook or whisk; each used for different purposes and recipes. Additionally, Smeg offers a range of stand mixer accessories, including food grinders, ice cream makers, pasta rollers and more.

Food mixer is often used as a catch-all term for kitchen mixers, including stand mixers and hand mixers. A stand mixer is a specific type of food mixer, that is powerful and can be left to mix for longer periods of time, leaving you free to carry on with other cooking tasks.

A hand mixer is another type of food mixer. It is often less powerful than a stand mixer but has the advantage of being manoeuvrable, easier to store, and cheaper. If a hand mixer sounds more like what you need for your kitchen, you can browse

A stand mixer can help with a wide variety of cooking tasks for you, such as:

• Doughs: bread, pizza dough, pasta dough.
• Cakes and Cookies: Batter for cakes, cookies, and cupcakes.
• Whipped Cream: Whip cream, egg whites, or meringues.
• Mashed Potatoes: Smooth mashed potatoes or other mashed vegetables.
• Frosting and Buttercream: Perfect for smooth cake frostings and icings.
• Pastry Dough: Pie crusts, tarts, and puff pastry.

And with the stand mixer accessories we have available, you can use your Smeg stand mixer to make:

• Vegetable preparation: Easily prep vegetables for a salad or slaw, with a slice and grater attachment.
• Meat Mixtures: Mix ingredients for meatballs, burgers, or sausages with a food grinder attachment.
• Homemade Pasta: With a pasta cutter attachment, you can use your stand mixer
  to make fresh pasta tagliolini.
• Ice Cream: Make delicious homemade ice cream with a Smeg stand mixer ice cream maker.

How long a stand mixer takes to knead your dough depends on the dough you’re making, and the speed of your stand mixer. Some light doughs such as white bread can take around 4 - 6 minutes, while firmer doughs such as pizza can take up to 10 minutes in a stand mixer.
A stand mixer is, however, significantly quicker than kneading dough by hand, significantly easier, and gives more consistent dough: Once you learn what speed to set your stand mixer to and how long to leave it to knead, you’ll get consistent results every time.

Our Smeg stand mixers come with a standard 2-year warranty, covering any manufacturing defects or issues under normal use.
