The KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer in Black Matte is built to take on everything from thick bread doughs to heavy batters. Its beater reaches at least 59 touchpoints around the bowl for a thorough, even mix, and 11 preset speeds give you quick, repeatable settings. Twist the control knob to engage Precision Speed Control and glide smoothly between speeds. A ½ fold speed gently blends light, airy ingredients without knocking out their lift, while Soft Start ramps up gradually to keep flour, sugar, and cocoa in the bowl instead of on the counter.
An integrated light comes on automatically when the head is lowered or the mixer is running, and a twist of the knob switches it on manually whenever you want a clearer view of your mix. The included double flex edge beater has flexible silicone edges that scrape the sides of the bowl as it mixes, so you stop less often to scrape down by hand. Every Artisan Plus ships with a full set of stainless steel accessories: a rust-resistant, dishwasher-safe, precision-welded bowl, the double flex edge beater, a dough hook, a wire whisk, a flat beater, and a pouring shield. It is also compatible with optional KitchenAid attachments (sold separately) for making fresh pasta, churning ice cream, slicing vegetables, or grinding meat.
