New Metro Design Beater Blade for 5-Quart KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers, White Grey Blades

Shazam! These two chefs know why Kitchenaid wishes they’d thought of this patented new beater blade!

First, I’ll start by saying we are two gourmet nuts in this household.

Okay, so that self-disclosure said, I read about these blades before they ever came out in one of my gourmet magazines. I found it interesting that Kitchenaid wasn’t the one to come up with it and get the patent. It’s brilliant! But only if it really works…

I love the Kitchenaid mixers and think they are among the best out there. They have just been improved, but, oddly not by Kitchenaid!

You are supposed to match the first 3-4 digits of the model with the blade (basically, you don’t need the last part of the model number that includes the color of your mixer). On my KitchenAid mixer, the model number was on the base. I can’t say for sure if every model has…
