My Kitchenaid Mixer Is Dead

I was mixing bread the other day and the bowl popped off in the back. The beater got stuck and stopped. NOw it isn't working right. And of course the warranty had expired. No one in my area fixes them, and the company will take at least 3 wks to get it back to me. Plus, we are of course broke (as usual) and we can't afford to send it into the company and get it fixed. What do I do now??? Can I mix bread by hand? I don't think my little hand mixer will be strong enough to make bread. And the recipe I use requires 15 minutes of beating in the stand mixer! How the heck can i do that w/out my stand mixer?

Sorry, just had to vent. I am just in tears here cuz I don't know what to do.

I just wanted to say I'm so sorry :( I know how much we come to depend on our kitchen equipment.

While you're waiting to be able to get your machine fixed, maybe consider using a different recipe or a mix for bread? I use GFP, and I think it could be successfully mixed up with a hand mixer--it only gets mixed for 2 minutes.

:angry: Oh, my! I'm so sorry!! Can you call and get a loaner?! :D I've never heard of a KA doing that! My bread recipe only requires 3 minutes of mixing.

I feel your pain. I love my KA. Do you know any old gents that love to tinker? Sometimes they are the best at fixing what seems like an unfixable problem.

There's no sense in mixing that long for gluten-free stuff. There is no gluten to develop by kneading. You don't even need much power, since the batters are pretty wet, compared to gluten bread dough. The main problem with hand mixers or stand mixers like my Sunbeam Heritage Mixmaster, is they simply don't have a paddle. With the two regular beaters, the batter gets stuck on the beaters and goes up to where the beaters attach to the mixer. With the paddle attachment (which only Kichenaid has) that doesn't happen.

I loved my Sunbeam, but I love my Kitchenaid Artisan even more.

best regards, lm

ITA Larry! I had a Sunbeam Mixmaster and couldn't believe the difference when I got a KA. It really improved my breads!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum! It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary. You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day. Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances...

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower! You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because...

      I was just diagnosed with celiac disease after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get all the information you have, it just seems so overwhelming. I am still trying to figure it all out and don't know if the information I'm getting is correct. I have been eating only white rice and chicken breast, pork, or steak and fresh vegetables....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum!  It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary.   You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day.  Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances are temporary. I was temporarily dairy intolerant following diagnosis, and my gastroenterologist advised I should come off dairy for 3 weeks to see if it helped with painful lower abdominal bloating, and it did.  As I have healed I have been able to consume it again. If you get symptoms consuming 'pure oats' (gluten free oats, i.e. oats grown apart from and processed separately to gluten containing crops, andthe only oats we as coeliacs should be eating), the advice here in the UK is to stop eating them, then try them again in about six months.   Not to discourage you but it too me some years to be able to eat them without getting a sore stomach, but now so long as I don't overdo things, I can eat them every day.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower!  You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because of the beta carotene. Do you have issues with eggs and dairy? How about fresh fish? What about fresh fruit? There are also non gluten alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat (not related to wheat) groats and sorghum that are sold by companies like Bob's Red Mill that can be used for hot breakfast cereals. Gluten free oats is also an option, though some celiacs can't do oats because the protein in them (avenin) is similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction. Gluten is found only in wheat, barley and rye.

      I was just diagnosed with celiac disease after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what all you had to do to get all the information you have, it just seems so overwhelming. I am still trying to figure it all out and don't know if the information I'm getting is correct. I have been eating only white rice and chicken breast, pork, or steak and fresh vegetables.  Gluten free pretzels and rice cakes to snack on. But that's about it cause I don't know what I can eat it's to overwhelming.  I don't even know what symptom to look for for possible cross contamination cause I also have microscopic Colitis which has the same symptoms as celiac disease. I'm hoping at least being on this forum I can get information that will help me figure it all out. Sorry I am not able to help you and hope you get the relief you are looking for.
