Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Electrolux White Assistent Stand Mixer 8 Qt.Customer Review: 20 Cups of Home Milled Wheat Flour - No Problem Summary: 5 Stars
I am grateful for the previous reviews that listed various problems so maybe I was able to dodge a few bullets. I read the instructions carefully and also other whole wheat bread books and had two loaves of great - really great - rye bread on my very first try. I wanted to really test the Electrolux so on the very next attempt I tripled a whole wheat bread recipe and used 20 cups of dry ingredients including flour, bran, gluten, etc. It all came together beautifully. I think there are some recipes which are better than others. You should start with the dry ingredients first and add the wet (opposite of Laurel's Bread Book, and recipes for the Bosch which always seem to start with the liquids) but otherwise the ingredients are the same.
And here is the clincher: my comparison is my amazing Hobart 5 quart (priced at $1600). It's a great machine but it's just 5 quarts. The Electrolux has all the strength and 8 quart capacity, so perhaps it's not as expensive as it seems.
Description of Electrolux White Assistent Stand Mixer 8 Qt.Whip cream, crush berries, knead dough, mix batter, and more with what some call Sweden's greatest kitchen machine. It puts 450 watts to work, along with a variety of attachments to quickly process numerous foods. Its superior motor design automatically adjusts torque to the load and as a result strains less and is far less likely to "walk" across your counter too. The timer allows you to start the mixer, set a time, and move to a different task while the machine goes to work. The unique roller and scraper design produce smooth, silky, elastic dough quickly and easily, effectively mimicking hand kneading. As the stainless steel bowl rotates, the deeply fluted roller perform like "fingers" while the scraper acts as the palm of the hand, scraping and massaging in a rhythmic motion. The white stationary bowl can be used to beat up to 18 egg whites for a gorgeous meringue or to cream butter and sugar for baking. When this bowl is used the whisks drive from below via a center column in the bowl, and this arrangement permits unimpeded access to the top of the bowl, with no overhead motor drive to get in the way.
