yes and thank you

no worries!

yes, use the paddle.... you might bend up your wisk attachment with that method!!!

we even make biscuits for 200 ppl in our 30qt mixer. its easy to over mix that way, but it beats doing it by hand!

I love my KA appliances. It makes short work of many things I have to do using just my paws...
