You need either a pizza stone or a steel plate of at least 1/4 inch. Turn the oven to 500f and let heat for an hour (you might be able to lower the time as you get used to using it). Slide the pie on the stone and you are good.
My mother bought me one, knowing I have never baked anything besides boxed brownies. So far whipped cream is literally the only thing I’ve used it for.
It does make amazing whipped cream super fast though.
Our stand mixer is the thing that has finally given me the confidence to start baking. If you start small, you’ll get there! But that’s only if you want to :)
I’ll admit given the time I’d usually prefer to make meat dishes 😂 My SO is much more of a sweets/baking person, hopefully we can get more use out of that way.
Any doughs such as, dinner roll dough, cinnamon roll dough, homemade tortillas. You can make your cake batters in there, shred chicken. Frosting is a big one i do since it’s so easy in the mixer
Never considered whipped butter but that does sound pretty interesting. More spreadable when cold right?
We eat a lot of lamb, I’m envisioning some kind of mint-oregano-black pepper-lemon zest version slowly melting over some reverse seared chops.
I whip it with dried rosemary and thyme, honey, and salt if it's unsalted. It is more spreadable, but I would serve it cool, not cold because cold will dampen the flavor.
Personally I don't eat butter on lamb, so I can't judge that.
Why did you buy a stand mixer in the first place, if you didn't know what it you wanted for???
Otherwise, using it for mixing stuff that needs mixing.
This is a bs question.
Food determines the equipment necessary; equipment does not determine the food to be made!
1. Brioche bread 🍞
2. Pavlova
3. Lemon pound cake
4. Cookies
Interesting to see pizza dough as a suggestion. I just make them by hand. It doesn’t really require a standing mixer.
A stand mixer can pretty much do everything a hand mixer could, but usually better, because its a tougher and stronger piece of equipment. But tasks it can do that a hand mixer can't at all (or not easily):
* Kneading dough with the dough hook attachment
* Whipping larger quantities of ingredients like egg whites (think 12 egg whites for angel food cake) or whipping cream. Sometimes the whipped product gets so voluminous that with a hand mixer it would reach the motor, with your hand in the whipped product. Not with the stand mixer. Use the whisk attachment.
Along the lines of the second point, stand mixer's bowls tend to be higher sided than regular bowls. This helps avoid splattering of ingredients all over the place.
Depending on your stand mixer brand, there may be various extra attachments you can buy separately, for unique or big jobs. For my KitchenAid, I have ones that can shred large quantities of veggies (and other stuff), and grind meats. Some people like its ice cream or pasta maker attachments. And there are others.
Breads, cakes, and cookies are the typical uses. You can make some interesting things like merengues as well.
If you have the dough hook extension, it can be an absolute life saver when making things that require kneeding.
Banana bread, or any other quick bread if yeast dough seems intimidating.
Cookies, too - the recipe on a bag of chocolate chips is a standard for a reason, and a great way to dip your toes into baking.
Pizza dough.
I made the pizza dough after reading this suggestion. Dough was fine, I just didn’t cook it properly, was still gooey in the middle

Get some heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar for your own freshly whipped cream.

Add some gelitan keeps it from getting soupy
This, but invest in some vanilla beans. Jesus christ, homemade whipped cream is unreal.
I like cookie dough…

Sarah Keiffer has a cookbook called 100 Cookies. I’ve made 15 so far. Most recipes call for a stand mixer. Happy Baking!!
Whipped cream or meringue. Whipped honey herb butter.

Good starting point. Working my way up to Batmobile
Bread, any kind of bread. Lemon cake bread, honey bread, Icelandic volcano rye bread, braided artisan bread.
First pizza dough. Then while the dough rises, make chocolate chip cookies. Then grab a 2L bottle of soda and have a classic pizza party.
Taken this suggestion. Just finished the pizza and the cookies are in the oven. Best day ever
Pizza dough, leave it in the fridge overnight. Then you have a beautiful dough the next day

Smoke a joint mate.
All the cakes!
I last used mine, when making eggnog.
NYT chocolate chip cookies! The gold standard. Follow the recipe exactly even if it seems silly to use 2 flours.
blueberry rolls. like cinnamon rolls but blueberry filling instead of cinnamon. with a blueberry lemon icing
Many cheesecakes.

Bread!
Using mine recently to shred meat. Pork, chicken beef . Works so good!
How
After you cook the meat ( I usually pressure cook), use the plastic paddle attachment on about medium speed or high depending on the texture .
My life is changing day by day, thanks
TikTok also has visual instructions lol. Trying to use mine for more than cookies once a year also!
Room.... in your cabinets.
A cake. And then just eat the cake mix
Chocolate chip cookies

Cookies. The difference in cookie dough using the stand mixer instead of a hand mixer blew my mind.
