Planetary mixers

A stand mixer is a type of kitchen appliance characterized by the "planetary" rotary motion of its attachments, reminiscent of the motion of the planets around the sun, which allows for effective kneading, mixing, and blending. This motion, combined with the rotation of the bowl, ensures excellent dough homogeneity, making it ideal for a variety of preparations, from desserts to pizza.

• Planetary motion: The attachment (whisk, hook, or leaf) rotates both on itself and around the center of the bowl, reaching every corner of the dough.
• Versatility: Thanks to its interchangeable attachments, it can be used for whipping creams, kneading bread and pizza dough, mixing ingredients, etc.
• Use: It is suitable for both home and professional use, especially for preparations that require long kneading times or large doughs.
• Difference from a traditional mixer: While a traditional mixer primarily handles heavy dough, a stand mixer offers greater versatility and can also handle lighter dough and whip ingredients.

• Accessories: Typically, stand mixers include a wire whisk, dough hook, and paddle attachment.
