Could be due to the low center of gravity and the […]

KitchenAid “Ultra Power” 300W mixer review

February 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment

I love making pizza and bake in general. You can make doughs by hand, its not really that complicated, although with a mixer it’s much easy, and you can use the mixer for other stuff as well, for ex.: grinding vegetables or making minced meat. The KitchenAid gets a lot of good reviews by people, […]
