  • BeaterBlade... yes! I'll have to get myself one *before* holiday baking. And while I was momentarily giddy over the idea of the spiral dough hook, I realized that I probably wouldn't use it too often. I get dough started in the mixer but like to smash on it manually afterward. That part makes me almost as happy as tearing into a loaf of goodness warm from the oven.
  • Good point about the holiday baking. I'll have to fast track my order of the BeaterBlade.

    Although I appreciate the idea behind hand-kneading, whenever I've done it the "kneading endorphins" failed to materialize.
  • BeaterBlade arrived today! Guess where I'm off to now? That's right! For more butter! Holiday treat-making starts NOW! Woohoo! Maybe I should lay off the sugar....
  • That's great! I expect a full report.
  • I made two batches of triple gingersnap dough last night. This handy little device effortlessly beat a stiff dough into submission with no problem. I didn't scrape once, and everything was evenly and quickly incorporated, down to the dimple in the bottom of the bowl. I wish I had this thing sooner. Actually, I wish I had thought of it first. I also give it extra bonus points because it's made from a textured clear plastic that the dough didn't want to stick to, and it looks like it was chipped out of the side of a crystal palace...
  • Excellent! Can't really ask for more than that.
