KitchenAid Industrial Mixers: What You Need to Know
The iconic KitchenAid stand mixer has been a standard on countertops in home kitchens across America since 1919, and now, the KitchenAid commercial mixer makes it possible to bring that experience and reliability into foodservice kitchens. KitchenAid offers three main commercial pieces in this category, along with replacement parts and accessories.
- KitchenAid commercial mixers enable chefs to mix, beat, whip, and stir large quantities of ingredients or dough.
- KitchenAid countertop blenders bring the quality and consistency of the residential units into a commercial kitchen with improved durability and strength.
- KitchenAid immersion blenders provide blending power that can be used with large stock pots or mixing bowls, with a blade on the end of a long metal wand.
Common Questions About KitchenAid Commercial Mixers
Why choose KitchenAid commercial blenders?
KitchenAid is one of the most widely recognized and trusted brands in food preparation, both at home and in commercial settings. Founded in 1919, KitchenAid has more than 100 years of experience in creating the best food preparation equipment, with stand mixers being the most recognizable product. KitchenAid industrial mixers and blenders are remarkably durable, taking the resilience of its residential line and beefing it up. KitchenAid commercial products are incredibly versatile, with many available attachments to increase their capabilities.
What are the differences between commercial and residential KitchenAid equipment?
KitchenAid Commercial lines are made to improve upon the durability of the brand's residential line, handling higher volumes and meeting industry standards for food safety. The classic 8-quart mixer is one of KitchenAid's most popular commercial pieces, sporting a 1.3-horsepower motor and a bowl large enough to handle 8 pounds of bread dough (which most home chefs don't need). The motor on this model is protected from overheating by its PowerCore® technology, while its housing and gears are built to endure use a residential unit would never see.
Is KitchenAid Commercial NSF certified?
Most KitchenAid commercial products are NSF certified, which is important in restaurant kitchens. NSF-certified products meet the foundation's stringent food safety requirements, meaning you can slot them into your professional kitchen rotation without worry. NSF requires foodservice equipment to be easy to clean, made of materials that don't harbor bacteria, and to meet a host of other requirements that reduce the chance of health issues.
How are KitchenAid commercial blenders rated?
The first measurement applied to blenders is the capacity – how much the container will hold at a given time – so you can determine the volume of product you'll be able to mix at one time. Horsepower also is an important consideration, especially if you'll blend thick or dense mixtures. Horsepower measures the motor's strength, but not necessarily its speed. A higher-horsepower motor doesn't mean your food will blend faster, but the motor will have more muscle to chew through heavy or thick items.
