REALLY OT..Info on Sunbeam MixMster
"Gillian Murray" wrote in message
... OK, guys, we are in the midst of the big annual yardsale. I have unearthed the EMIL's Sunbeam MixMaster. #100-86659. It has the two bowls, and various mixing tools. Is this something I stick $2 on, or is it really more of a collector pieces. Haven't a clue, have never used it, but she made banana bread forever, at least up to a couple of years before she died in 2005. We have a Kenwood Chef which was purchased about 25 year ago. Maureen uses the dough hook to make bread and another gadget to make Yorkshire Pudding. There are two large boxes in the attic with umpteen gadgets to make sausages, ice-cream, seperate egg yolks etc etc but the effort of using them then cleaning them just isn't worth the effort! -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK http://claremont.island-blogging.co.uk "Never ask a man if he is from Yorkshire.

I thought it was just last year! Pat NO, Pat..I had to check and it was Aug 2 2005. Time flies with us elder (never old) citizens. I find it hard to believe I am in my 70s, but the way my knee is killing me and the damn CPAP breathing machine at night....well it isn't for sissies LOL LOve Gill BTW, remember the nice things you sent me to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee?? Well, I have a special shelf in the bookcase in MY stitchy/computer room for such items, and they are there. Also a beermat I found on Ebay from the small local brewery; and I was best friends with the brewer's daughters/. |

I don't keep the Kenwood stuck away anywhere, it is right there on the counter ready to go, likewise the Cuisinart food processor. They have both been well used over the years. I do have a hand mixer too but that mainly stays in the drawer except for perhaps whipping cream, maybe egg whites. Trying to think here - this past week I used the food processor to make pastry and grate some spud, onion and white turnip (to make a tiddy oggy) would never have bothered if I had to do it by hand and I creamed some spuds in the Kenwood. Considering I only cook for me most of the time, I would think they are still earning their keep. In my kitchen, the KitchenAid, the Cuisinart, the electric can opener and the Cuisinart Mini-Prep are all lined up on one counter. On a shelf above them are all the attachments, plus the mortar and pestle (for tender dried herbs and spices). All of these bowls and attachments go in the dishwasher after use, except for the mortar and pestle. They are marble, so I simply wipe them off. I doubt if I would cook half as much if I had to haul the wretched things out from a hiding place every time I needed them. However, I figure my kitchen is my factory floor, not a showroom.

That's a young 'un - my Kenwood is more than forty years old. I notice it is somewhat noisier than it was but otherwise, still has all the power. I didn't buy any attachments. We bought the attachments at a junk store, I think they cost less than GBP 5 -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK http://claremont.island-blogging.co.uk "Never ask a man if he is from Yorkshire.

My DM had a Sunbeam, and I cannot remember the last time she used it - I'm sure it was given away when they moved from house in the 'burbs to the cool condo downtown. I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer, and a hand-held one - also a Kitchenaid. My Sunbeam handheld died after about 20 years, and I replaced it with the Kitchenaid - which came with really interesting dough hooks, whisk/beaters, and a 3rd attachment that I haven't used yet. The relevant thing - I used to use the hand-held all the time. I also have an immersion blender, a.k.a. The motorboat - which gets used a lot for soups and sauces. In the unpacking process, finally some months ago DH hauled in the stand mixer box, and out it came. There is enough counter space here that it can stay out, and there are drawers below so the bowl & attachment stay in the double deep drawer. Now I use it A LOT - having it out makes all the difference. Which means that I'm baking bread frequently, and whipping up cookies, etc - that we don't nee. Sorry about the yelling, but haven't got used to the new super computer, new keyboard, and the slide-out keyboard holder thingy! Gill Uh-huh. Just picturing a big yell coming out from you -well, not really. But I did wonder as I was reading - wow, Gill's pretty excited about this mixer conversation ;^) Ellice |

Gill\\ I don't keep the Kenwood stuck away anywhere, it is right there on the counter ready to go, likewise the Cuisinart food processor. They have both been well used over the years. I do have a hand mixer too but that mainly stays in the drawer except for perhaps whipping cream, maybe egg whites. Trying to think here - this past week I used the food processor to make pastry and grate some spud, onion and white turnip (to make a tiddy oggy) would never have bothered if I had to do it by hand and I creamed some spuds in the Kenwood. Considering I only cook for me most of the time, I would think they are still earning their keep. Same here. The Cuisinart came with an extra work bowl, and has 2 lids - the one with the big chute, and another flat one with just a small opening in the center - like a blender. It stays out with that lid on it, and is on the cook island - so I can turn from the sink to the island, and use it. Gets used a lot. The only hefty thing that doesn't stay out is the pasta maker. It goes in a cabinet with a rolling shelf - so that it's pretty easy to lift out. Don't use it enough to warrant counter space. Just the 2 of us, well, and Puckster, so I've ended up making a lot of things with half going to the freezer. Works out just fine. Ellice |
