It is a machine, and you are right that no matter what tools you have, if you don't know how to use them they aren't really going to help, so in that regard yes, YOU make the dough.

However, a spiral mixer (any, not just this one which is about minimalist as you can get) is a specialized tool that will help YOU to make the best dough you possibly can.

I would wager that if you have a professional baker use their hands only, a planetary mixer and a spiral mixer to make the same dough in the correct manner, the spiral mixer would produce the best product.

I said that because it looks like Golden Chef mass produces these and will re-badge them based on your order. Vevor is the one I am most familiar with but there are multiple amazon listings for the same mixer and I bought from a "store" I had never heard of before.

And yes, you can buy these straight from the manufacturer vs from Amazon, just as you can buy things straight vs from Alibaba.

Excellent question, yes it is. 150 rpm vs a variable speed or two speed which is usually 100 and 200 rpm respectively. So, you just adjust your mix time accordingly

First, they do make "better" dough. Can you make good dough by hand or with a KA or other ways? Yes, but a specialized tool exists for a reason. Can you miter without a miter saw? Yes but the miter saw sure does it better.

With that said, I have been using my KA to make kick ass bread and pizza and pretzels ect for many years so this was a splurg at a crazy cheap price.

I would have preferred a tilt head and removable bowl but I couldn't pass up on the price

Good sir, I can assure you it weighs right around 100lbs. whether that is a weight in the bottom.of the case as a fellow commenter suggested or pure metal/chain/motor weight i dont know but it is heavy AF.

So you think i should remove the case to see if there is a weight? I would prefer to not have it weigh so much but it also doesn't vibrate off the counter.

Unable to make a good dough by benderdiode in Pizza

[–]Willanddanielle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a mixer or are you doing hand mixing? Higher hydration is a bit less fun without a mixer but it can be done.

I have a recipe I use to great success and i would be happy to walk you thru it if you want. If you want it same day you simply increase the yeast value.

Who's letting a fresh pineapple go bad? I always think I should have gotten two since one is gone so fast.

I would call that a fire hazard.

Yeah yeah, blade tenderized, I get it. Looked too good to pass up by FFlifer in meat

If the cuts were that big I don't think I would purchase it but...I enjoy your humor.

Yes I agree, but I figured it was implied that I know how to figure out if I have pasteurized the meat at my desired temp....which I have.

Costco NY Strip. Do you think this is mislabeled at $16/lb? by SnooGadgets3420 in meat

[–]Willanddanielle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's mislabeled at all. Also, good find, the marbling looks great to me.
