Thank you all. I have only ever kneaded by hand, so perhaps I'll stick to the old fashioned way, at least for the final kneading. I have only ever used tilt head mixers; what is the benefit/reason for the bowl lift type?

I have read a number of threads here about stand mixers, from recent to back to 2004. I admit I'm leaning towards a KA, partially as that is all I remember growing up, but it seems they may not be what they used to be :rolleyes:. I am...

I have a fondue pot that my grandma gave me, a-hand-me-down, that has been sitting forgotten in a kitchen cupboard for.....years. I have never used it, but sort of always meant to..... I pulled it out, and realized that the bottom part...

8 weeks...8 months......oops. Sounds like remodeling is a lot like touring on vacation- it will always cost more and take more time than you thought. I'll be happy as long as I'm done before it is too cold to do all my cooking on the...

That is a good way to look at it! I also worry that when they remodel (discussed forever, never done), they may wish they kept it. :) Only other consideration: my range will be 30" (Already purchased) and the hood is 36". I...

I dont even know if there is an answer to this question, but here it goes.... My dad has a mid to late 80's 36" Thermador hood ventilator. I think the model # is H65, but that no longer exists of course. It has been sitting storage...

I have no hard opinions for you, but I have recently been researching the HECK out of ranges, and I came very close to buying that very one. It looked pretty good on all the reviews, came recommended by salespeople (for what that is...
