stand mixer

Countertop dough kneader

A stand mixer is a kitchen appliance with a motor-driven mixing head mounted on a stand, freeing the cook's hands while it beats, whips, or kneads.

Unlike handheld mixers, stand mixers sit on the counter and handle heavy doughs without supervision: I let the stand mixer knead the bread while I prepped the vegetables.

Most accept attachments for grinding, slicing, or extruding pasta.
