I use a kitchen aid at work all the time and occassionally at home. At work I never use the pouring shield and the clean up is very easy, I tend to make a mess on the machine itself rather than every where else. At home I do. use the ppouring shield and I find flour all over as well. But I think the problem is trying to be too careful. I make more of a mess at home just measuring the flour and sifting than I do adding it to the machine. When making pie dough and the butter is ice cold I do get a fine mist of flour all over the place but that doesn't happen with a cake or cookie batter. I also work on a large flexible silpat so that makes cleanup very easy. I hope that helps you somewhat. |
