Get the “Coated” hook. The “Burnished” is just cheap aluminum.
5 stars for being a great spiral design; 1 star for not being made out of a more durable and healthier stainless steel.
This hook fits my 6 quart KitchenAid Mixer. Unfortunately, these reviews are not all distinguishing between the “burnished” steel and the “coated” hooks. There is a big difference. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, I would also like to see a stainless steel alternative!
Having been a professional baker for many years (I owned an natural cookie company that I have since sold) I use both the Kitchen Aid 6QT and 4.5QT mixers for small-batch product development and home use. I LOVE MY KITCHEN AID MIXERS, but not the attachments.
I do not recommend the burnished steel because it is really just cheap, toxic, aluminum.

New Spiral dough hook,
I love making different kinds of breads, wet doughs and stiff doughs. My old kitchen aid had the “C” style hook and I did not like the way it kneaded bread dough. I purchased the new 5qt spiral and the dough does not climb up the hook!! Chaazam! I think it’s meant for the newer 5qt “profesional” mixer but it works quite well on the old one. I did notice the mixer does get HOT because it’s working the dough so well. I dont put as much dough in the bowl anymore. So far I’ve saved from buying a new mixer, so let’s see how much longer this 10yo one lasts! Good Luck.

Dough doesn’t climb up on the mixing tool and it actually kneads the dough much better giving you a smoother dough (you can feel this difference). When I added ingredients I noticed they get more thoroughly mixed and do not sit on the side of the bowl. The older device was more of a mixing tool than a kneader but it did the job. This does it better.
