KitchenAid 4.3L Tilt Head Black Stand Mixer

KitchenAid 4.3L Stand Mixer

The KitchenAid 4.3L Tilt Head Black Stand Mixer is a timeless kitchen appliance designed to make baking, bread making and everyday food preparation quicker and more consistent. With its iconic rounded shape, solid die-cast metal construction and classic black finish, it feels reassuringly sturdy on the worktop and is built for regular use.

KitchenAid’s planetary mixing action moves the attachment in one direction while it travels around the bowl in the other, reaching 59 touchpoints per rotation for thorough, even mixing. Combined with 10 speed settings, this gives you plenty of control for everything from gently combining cake batter and creaming butter and sugar to whipping meringue and kneading bread dough.

The 4.3 litre stainless steel mixing bowl is a practical size for everyday baking as well as bigger batches. It can handle up to 2.5kg of cake mixture, 1.7kg of bread dough, 1 litre of whipped cream or around 80 standard cookies. A wire whisk, dough hook and flat beater are included, so you can start making cakes, biscuits, pastry, pizza dough, brioche and plenty of savoury recipes straight away.

We particularly like the KitchenAid stand mixer at i4C because it is one of those pieces of kitchen equipment that quickly becomes part of your routine. Use it for a weekend sourdough project, a batch of chocolate chip cookies or simply beautifully smooth mashed potato for Sunday lunch. The front attachment hub also gives you plenty of scope to expand what your mixer can do over time.

The mixer measures 35.3cm high, 35.8cm wide and 22.1cm deep. Remember to allow some additional clearance above the mixer so that the tilt-head can be raised comfortably when changing accessories or removing the bowl.

Can you buy extra attachments for the KitchenAid 5K45SS?

Yes. The multipurpose attachment hub at the front can be used with a wide range of compatible KitchenAid stand mixer attachments sold separately. Depending on the attachment, you can use your mixer for jobs such as rolling and cutting fresh pasta, grinding meat, slicing vegetables, milling grain and making sausages.

What is the difference between the whisk, flat beater and dough hook?

Each KitchenAid mixer attachment is designed for a different job. The wire whisk incorporates air into ingredients such as egg whites and cream, the flat beater handles cake mixtures, cookie dough and many everyday mixing jobs, while the dough hook kneads yeast-based doughs such as bread, pizza and brioche.
