Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

A 500-watt motor drives the beater in a planetary motion, orbiting the bowl while spinning, so ingredients along the sides get mixed without constant scraping. Ten speeds cover everything from gently stirring in flour to whipping cream into stiff peaks. The head tilts back and locks, which makes adding ingredients and swapping attachments straightforward.

Included: a 5-quart stainless bowl with a handle, a flat beater, a dough hook, a wire whip, and a clear pouring shield. The bowl, beater, and hook go in the dishwasher; wash the whip by hand to keep it bright. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth, never water.
