KitchenAid Attachments and Accessories

KitchenAid Accessories and Attachments

Thanks to the attachment hub on their front, KitchenAid stand mixers can be used not only for mixing and kneading dough but for many different kitchen tasks. With the right attachment, the same mixer turns into a pasta maker, food grinder, slicer, juicer or ice cream maker. This design reduces the need to keep a separate appliance for every task in the kitchen.

Mutbex offers pasta and dough attachments, food preparation accessories, fruit and vegetable juicing attachments, an ice cream maker attachment, a sifter and scale accessory, as well as spare whisks, dough hooks and bowls for KitchenAid stand mixers. Compatible accessories are listed separately according to stand mixer model and bowl capacity.

Turn Your Mixer into a Multi-Purpose Kitchen Station

KitchenAid accessories work using the mixer's motor power. The attachment is fitted to the hub on the front of the mixer and performs its function without requiring an additional motor. This way, different preparation tasks can be carried out one after another with a single appliance.

In Mutbex's KitchenAid accessories video, the ice cream maker attachment, food grinder attachment, pasta maker attachment, slow juicer attachment and slicer and shredder attachment are introduced hands-on. The video explains how each accessory makes a difference in the kitchen.

KitchenAid Accessory Groups

Pasta and Dough Attachments

Fresh pasta is among the most preferred preparations in boutique restaurants and home kitchens. The KitchenAid 3-Piece Pasta Roller and Cutter Set rolls out dough sheets 15 cm wide in 8 different thicknesses with its stainless steel roller. Spaghetti and fettuccine can be prepared with the cutter attachments.

The KitchenAid Pasta Maker Attachment in the same series allows varieties such as spaghetti, bucatini, rigatoni and fusilli to be prepared with a single attachment thanks to its 6 interchangeable plates. For those who only want to roll out dough sheets, the KitchenAid Pasta Sheet Roller Attachment is also available.

Food Preparation Attachments

Preparing ingredients such as vegetables, cheese, fruit, nuts and chocolate becomes faster with slicer and shredder attachments. The KitchenAid Slicer and Shredder Attachment comes with medium and coarse shredding drums and a slicing drum. The drums are easy to change, and the attachment is kept in its own storage box.

The KitchenAid Food Grinder Attachment can be preferred for grinding meat, fish and vegetables, and the KitchenAid Spiralizer Attachment for cutting firm fruits and vegetables into spirals. The 5KSM2FPPC accessory set, which combines grinding, chopping and purée preparation, is also among the options. The KitchenAid Food Tray Attachment can be used to keep more ingredients ready while grinding.

Fruit and Vegetable Juicing Attachments

The KitchenAid Slow Juicer Attachment works with a two-stage system. First, the stainless steel blade cuts the ingredients, and then the produce is pressed against one of 3 strainer options to extract the juice. The pre-cutting process shortens juicing time and limits foam formation.

The KitchenAid Citrus Juicer Attachment is available for citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits and lemons, and the KitchenAid Fruit and Vegetable Strainer Attachment for preparing sauces and purées.

Ice Cream Maker Attachment

Homemade ice cream and sorbet are a practical way to enrich dessert menus. According to the product page, the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment in the series prepares up to 1.9 liters of soft-serve ice cream, fruit purée and frozen desserts within 20-30 minutes.

The liquid inside the attachment's double-walled bowl ensures that the freezing process runs smoothly during mixing. The bowl is prepared by keeping it in the freezer before use. You can watch how the accessories transform the mixer in the Mutbex video.

Sifter and Scale Accessory

In pastry making, measuring and sifting flour and dry ingredients accurately directly affects the consistency of the dough. The KitchenAid Sifter and Scale Accessory sifts ingredients and measures them by weight with its integrated digital scale, adding them directly into the mixer bowl.

Carrying out sifting and weighing in a single step shortens preparation time and helps use the same amount of ingredients in every recipe. For information on pastry equipment, you can read our article Pastry and Patisserie Equipment.

Whisks, Dough Hooks and Bowls

In heavily used mixers, keeping spare parts such as whisks and hooks makes it easier to prepare different mixtures one after another. Thanks to its silicone edge, the KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater scrapes the sides of the bowl, reducing the need for a spatula, and is used for heavy mixtures such as cakes and purées.

Wire whips, dough hooks and stainless steel bowls are offered in different models according to the mixer's bowl capacity. With a second bowl such as the 4.3 L and 4.8 L stainless steel bowl in the series, preparations can continue without waiting. Alongside dough hooks, the KitchenAid 5KSMPB5W Pastry Beater for cake and cookie doughs and the KitchenAid 5KSMTHPS Pouring Shield to prevent spills when adding ingredients are also in this group.

Compatible Accessories by Mixer Model

Whisks, hooks and bowls differ according to the mixer's bowl capacity and body type. The table below summarizes the mixer groups compatible with the accessories available for sale at Mutbex. It is recommended to check the compatibility information on the product page before purchase.

Locally Produced Compatible Wire Whips

In addition to original accessories, locally produced stainless steel wire whips compatible with KitchenAid stand mixers are also available at Mutbex. The 5K452WW-compatible wire whip is used in 4.3 L and 4.8 L tilt-head mixers to incorporate air into eggs, cream and desserts.

According to the product page, the wire whip is compatible with the 5K45SS, 5KSM45, 5KSM95, 5KSM125, 5KSM150, 5KSM175, 5KSM180 and 5KSM185 models. For 6.9 L mixers, the original KitchenAid 5K7EW Stainless Steel Wire Whip is available.

KitchenAid Stand Mixers

All accessories run on the motor power of the KitchenAid stand mixer. For example, the KitchenAid Artisan 5.6 L Stand Mixer was designed for medium and large batches with its all-metal body, 11 speed settings and bowl-lift design.

Having the mixer's motor located in the head ensures there is no loss of power between the motor and the accessories. The Artisan 5.6 L stand mixer is introduced in detail in Mutbex's review video. All models are listed in the stand mixers category.

Benefits of KitchenAid Accessories for Your Business

Choosing Accessories by Business Type

What to Consider When Choosing the Right Accessory

• For whisks, hooks and bowls, the mixer's bowl capacity and body type (tilt-head or bowl-lift) should be checked.
• For attachments fitted to the hub, the compatible model information on the product page should be checked.
• Whether the accessory is dishwasher safe should be checked on the product page. For example, the pasta roller is not dishwasher safe.
• The ice cream maker bowl must be kept in the freezer before use, so there should be enough space in the freezer.
