I got a good deal on a refurbished KitchenAid Artisan series stand
mixer. It arrived this morning. I figured that I should give it a test
drive as soon as possible, so I used it tonight to make pizza dough. It
saves a lot of work kneading. I suppose the down site is the weight. It
will be a workout to move that thing around, plus finding a place to
store it.

They are heavy, no doubt about that, and mine resides covered on top of
the refrigerator until needed.

If you like, you can make something scrumptious and send it to me and
I can tell you whether your mixer is doing a good job of mixing or not.

LOL
It's test drive was to make pizza dough tonight, and it worked very
well. The crust was the best I have made, and without all the time and
effort to knead.

That is why mine sits on the end of the counter. If you can afford the
space it saves lifting and will get more use.

Mine gets stuffed into the back corner of the counter where there's
dead space. It's on a wicker mat so I can slide it out easier, and
push it back out the way when done.

Good idea. Something else is going to have to find a new home. There is
already a drip coffee maker, burr grinder, kettle large toaster, air
fryer, espresso maker and microwave. Microwave would give up the most
space and it is the one that is used the least.

When I kept my mixer stored away, I didn't use it very often - it was a
big hassle to drag it out every time. So I reorganised my stuff, and
gave it a permanent place on the worktop, and did the same with the big
food processor. Now they both get a lot of use.

Yep. Mine, too.
There are also inserts for kitchen cabinets which store the mixer, can
be pulled out and up for use, then pushed back in when done, to save
counter space.

If you have wall space you could mount the microwave there. We've done
that with ours.

I stored my KitchenAid for thirty years on a high shelf. Now I store it on
the kitchen counter.

Our microwave is the small kitchen appliance that we use the most...
some days we reheat our coffee and tea half a dozen times. We don't
use it for actual cooking but gets used often for reheating; soups,
vegetables, and defrosting, tonight it will be used to defrost two of
my giant 12 oz burgers. Lately we are eating only half and reheat the
other half in its half bun for the next meal (we despise poofy burger
buns), we use hard rolls. The nuker is a great way for cooking fresh
corn on the cob in their husks... no point in boiling a large pot of
water.
When I had a stand mixer it lived on a small wheeled cart... the few
times it was in the way I rolled it into a different room... the cart
is actually a storage cabinet on wheels, the extra moveable storage
space is very useful, saves a lot of steps when already seated at the
table, the top drawer holds a set of eating utensils.

Then you really ought to get a much smaller microwave. The Toshiba we
recently bought is about half the size of the huge GE it replaced and
has many more usable features, and only cost $75 on Amazon. Its
defrost feature works beautifully. We never made use of that GE's
monsterous size, most times all we do is reheat a cup. The reheating
feature is terrific, press one button and it starts and runs for 30
seconds.

I don't use it for defrosting, but I'll use it at lunch to reheat some
vegetable soup that I made on Saturday.

We cook corn on the cob exclusively on the grill.

We eat not at the dining table, but at the coffee table in the living room.

You were asleep for thirty years... zzz)
That just proves you rarely used it.
Most people have a KA mixer as kitchen decor so people will think they
cook... same as people who hang all their cookware from the kitchen
ceiling to collect schmutz. My stove has four top burners, I've never
had more than two on at the same time, 95% of the time only one. I
have many pots and pans, the few I use often are in a kitchen closet,
all the rest are stored in cartons in the basement. Most I bought
years ago because they looked nice, thinking they'd be nice to have,
many I've never used. Long ago I bought a Hobart 18 qt stand mixer
from a pizza joint in Brooklyn that was going out of business. When
my daughter was young and would have friends over I baked a lot. Now
she's living in her own home in NJ so some 20 years ago I gave her
that mixer... I don't know for sure if she uses it much, probably the
Take Out Queen is using it for kitchen decor.

The grill is outdoors, not used in inclement weather. Actually the
nuker does a better job... and I'm not going to light the grill for a
couple ears.

Our grill is outdoors, too. We use it year-round except in the most
severe weather.

It's moot, anyhow, since good corn on the cob is available only in
the summer.

I'll light the grill for a single hotdog. Although for a single hotdog I'd
probably light only one burner. If I want one hotdog, I cook one hotdog.

I use a small microwave. Sunbeam, 700 watts with a turntable.
It's my most used appliance.

I don't "cook" too many things with it. Potatoes mostly, but I use it
daily to reheat food. Several times daily.

I want my...I want my... I want my microwave! (or MTV)
Followed by a killer electric guitar solo.

We don't have a tv in the bedroom. That room is for sex and sleeping.
The tv is in the living room.

I have no use for a TV in the bedroom. I wear bifocals so it is hard to
lie in bed and see the screen. I didn't like watching TV in bed even
before I wore glasses.

I prefer hotdogs simmered, leaches out much of the baddies.
I can't remember ever eating just one hotdog since childhood,
often two or three. When available I like dawgs simmered in kraut. I
don't care for commercial hotdog buns for the same reason I don't care
for commercial burger buns, too poofy. I like burgers on hard rolls,
Kaiser rolls are good. Actually I don't care about bread with dawgs,
I usually eat them with a knife and fork with a mound of hot
kraut with Guldens, or cooked into a dish, like cut into coins in
tomato soup like grade school cafeteria lunchroom style.

Hotdogs... talk about mystery meat. If all baddies leached out, there
wouldn't be a hotdog left.

I'm not afraid of hotdogs.

I used to eat two, I can't eat that much anymore. I typically have
some sort of vegetable side dish with a hotdog.

I often eat kielbasa that way, although I usually grill kielbasa
as well. Both kielbasa and hot dogs are improved by browning.

We didn't have a grade school cafeteria. Everybody who had a mother
at home walked home for lunch. The rest of us brown-bagged it.

When my daughter was young, we always ate in the living room too. Dining
room table only for special meals like Thanksgiving or Christmas and
classical music playing on the stereo.

Since she's been gone and it's only me, I'm a slob and eat in bed right
next to my tv. lol (No wife to yell at me for that)

What music goes well with killing the natives and then going for the
native bird? The Bolero maybe?

Hamburgers and hotdogs are always better with good buns.

My mother used to take temp positions once in a while to help out
neighbours and their businesses. She would pack lunches for us when she
was working. Most of the time we went home for lunch. It was a short walk.

There was no cafeteria in my elementary school. The lunch room was a
room in the basement. My first high school had a cafeteria, but I only
went there for three months. I don't remember whether or not there was a
cafeteria in my second highs school. It was old enough that it likely
did, but I only went there for one day. The third high school had a room
called a cafeteria, but it was just a large room with tables and a side
room with vending machines. That school closed at the end of the year
and a new one was built around the corner, and it had the same deal.

Adjustable beds. About six years ago my wife was in the hospital and
would not be able to take the stairs. Bought her an adjustable bed for
the first floor, got me one for the bedroom. When she got better I
moved hers up, side by side it was like a king size but independently
adjustable. Put the back up and it was like being in a recliner.

Many nights we'd be together watching TV, holding hands, in comfort and
she could go off to sleep whenever. Want your feet up? Push a button.
Best bed setup we ever had.

This is the one we ordered some two years ago, works great, no
complaints.

This one has a turntable, I'd prefer no turntable, limits the cookware
you can use, but these days they all seem to employ a turntable. Our
old GE had no turntable so it worked well with any rectangular
cookware, even the meat department rectangular styrofoam for
defrosting. Now the styrofoam corners upset the rotation... someone
didn't think this through... perhaps round styofoam trays would solve
the problem. I snip off the corners with scissors, helps some...I
assume meat department personel don't think in geometrical terms...
most butchers likely never graduated high school... however I'd think
microwave oven engineers have... most engineers are dumb ****s. I
worked with a lot of top engineers, NONE could tie their own shoe
laces, they wore flip flops, in the snow. Amazing how many couldn't
use battery operated devices, they used slide rules. If yoose ever
interacted with those types yoose would know the definition of 'common
sense'. Engineers have none, ZERO! And doesn't matter male or
female, most don't know socks first then shoes. I've heard long ago
that female engineers that tried to use tampons couldn't comprehend
where to insert, they have no knowledge of the difference between
vagina and anus... no wonder females can't do microwave ovens.

It's a mystery to me.
Ground/minced beef is 'mystery' meat to him, but hotdogs are consumed in
quantity. Strange.

Maybe he started eating hotdogs in Brooklyn, in the 20s, and is too
familiar with them to question them.

My KA mixer resides on the top of my refrigerator as I have a tiny kitchen
with three doorways. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

My cookware hangs from a pot rack above the kitchen sink. Did I mention
that I have a tiny kitchen? Besides this picture showing my pot rack it also
gives a small glimpse of how small my kitchen is. If the mixer resided on the
counter I'd have nowhere to cut and chop vegetables or prepare meats. I'll
not mention it would take up useable counter space for grocery bags to be
unloaded.

Cute kitchen. I see you have the dreaded blind corner. The three doors in my 9x9
kitchen are fortuitously located so that I have no corner cabinet.

I have thought about blocking up one of the doorways to get more counter
space, but instead we've colonized the adjacent dining room, mainly for
storage.

Popeye grinds his own hamburg, but anything shaped like a dik (
commercial hot dogs, sausages) are hunky dory.

Thank you. The lower cabinet on the left is a lazy Susan cabinet and I've appreciated
it ever since the day I had the kitchen remodeled 25 years ago. To the right, where the
dishtowel hangs is the chimney to exhaust the gas water heater and gas furnace in the
basement. If that were gone it would give much needed extra cabinets. But where would
I exhaust those appliances?

If I blocked a doorway it would just mean extra steps to get to the backdoor or the
dining room. My kitchen is ok, just ok, as long as no one expects 7-course meals. :o)
