Like THIS one.
The Hobart 5-qt commercial mixer. It sells for over $2,000, yet people with that kind of money have no problem forking it up for this machine!!

A kitchen aid is a rebadged Hobart and they do come in various capacities
With both units my grudge is they can only be repaired at source and the courier costs far more than the repair

I have been more budget oriented so Ive been really watching how much I spend on cookware while still trying to go for quality and Ive had some pretty good success!

• Favorite cookware is the Rachael Ray Hard Anodized II Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 10-Piece Cookware Set
• Favorite steamer is this one BELLA 7.4 Quart Healthy Food Steamer, Dual Basket
• Favorite spatula is hard but probably the Victorinox Chef’s Slotted Fish Turner.

My bad habit is the thrift stores. Though I have gotten some very good deals there. Higher end stuff too.

Thrift stores are the devil's work - once you enter, you cannot leave without picking up a bargain or two (or more!)

It helps to have a cooking mallet you can use to tenderize steak and have a set of small tablespoon/teaspoon measuring cups made of stainless steel.

To purchase a mixer the size of this 80-qt Hobart monster, you'd have to fork up just under
$25,000!! The price of a mid-size sedan, such as a Toyota Camry LE with a 4-cylinder engine!!

Plus you'd have to have the room for it, and you'd also have to have wiring put in to be able to use it! About another $3,500! Not to mention making sure that your floor is sturdy enough to support its massive weight! No, thank you!
This one is strictly for restaurant / bakery use!

....... and have a set of small tablespoon/teaspoon measuring cups made of stainless steel.

I've had these forever but cannot remember the last time that I used them. I now just use a teaspoon and guess.

It's too hard to use a teaspoon for liquids.

It's too hard to use a teaspoon for liquids.

It is if you have a shaky hand! I do use measuring spoons sometimes but TBH most recipes don't require such exact measures. Cakes are probably the exception.

I have a set of measuring shot glasses. They are a big help.

So what are you cooking in it? You tell us so much about your cookware but not enough about your recipes... We love to know what you are cooking up!
