Why did I wait so long? MORE CAKES – nom nom nom
I have an older model KitchenAid Lift Stand mixer K5SS that I have used consistantly for 15+ years now. It did not come with a shield. Any of the retail outlets that carried KitchenAid claimed that this shield would not fit my mixer. Instead of buying one and trying it, I just regularly ended up redecorating the kitchen “Jackson Pollack Style” (from his “cake batter period”.) Well, thanks to amazon.com’s easy return policy, I became fearless and decided to try this shield. YES it fits the older K5SS series perfectly! wOOt! More cakes! Why did I wait?!? Washing up one extra piece with your bowl really beats scrubbing down the walls. And the cabinets. And the floors. And innocent bystanders. This is well worth it. If you don’t have this shield, you should buy one now. When you get it you should immediately go find a recipe for a nummy Guinness chocolate cake to bake as your reward for purchasing this item. (second favorite tres leches cake!)
Pour Shield
Highly recommended for easily and “neatly” pouring ingredients into the running lift style mixer. Without the shield, I often end up making a mess of the mixer, bowl, and counter.
Although I originally bought the pour shield with the thought of containing “floating flour dust clouds” before using my new KA stand mixer, I have found upon use that the KA KG25H3X lift mixer’s design already prevents this issue, rendering the shield unnecessary for escaping flour puffs.
But I love it for allowing the extra room to pour in ingredients. It seems to make the process much easier and less awkward for me. It lifts and expands the receiving area to a much more generous size. I’m very glad I bought it and found this unexpected benefit.
not what I expected
My original shield had two pieces which covered the whole bowl.The kitchenaid knips 1 does not cover the whole bowl. It leaves about a six inch opening which allows escape of dry products during the mixing process
