I bake all the time and sifting dry ingredients is something I loathe doing. It’s time-consuming and messy. I’ve tried a gazillion types of sifters and wasn’t satisfied with any of them.
When I saw the announcement about this stand mixer attachment that also included a scale, I thought, “KitchenAid heard my cries and answered my call for help!” It took a while to arrive and I’ll admit I was concerned about some of the other reviews. They were mixed and some just all out discouraging.
When this puppy arrived, I created an excuse to bake something. I started with French Macarons, something one reviewer said shouldn’t be attempted with this attachment. I’m not sure what that person did compared to what I did, but I was overwhelmingly pleased with the finished results.
Yes, there are a lot of parts when you disassemble it for cleaning. However, I’m a bit of a neat freak with my kitchen equipment so the deep clean I get by taking it apart is right up my alley. Also, once you get it back together the first time, it’s a breeze each additional time.
I’ve used the attachment every chance I get, which is often. I wouldn’t hate having the cup capacity a bit larger for my bigger bakes, but that is a minor issue for me. I highly recommend it for serious bakers.
