10 Most Underrated Hobart Mixer Attachments

Everyone knows that owning a Hobart mixer will make your life easier when it comes to working in the kitchen, whether that is in your home or in your business. You can go beyond the traditional mixer attachments to get the best use, value, and support from your Hobart mixer. Here are 10 Hobart mixer attachments you should add to your kitchen arsenal.

For Every-Day Mixing Needs

 Flat Beater

This beater is perfect for ensuring your ingredients are mixed well. This will mix your ingredients better than a mixer attachment that does not have the beater components, without giving your batter the overly-airy feel that would compare it to a whipped cream or meringue.

Wire Whip

Now, maybe you do want to make a whipped cream or meringue. For this, you will need your traditional wire whip attachment. It is great for adding fluff into what you are mixing, and it is a basic necessity in any baker’s kitchen.

Stainless Steel Wire Whip

Okay, so you might be wondering why there is another wire whip on this list. Well, if you are serious about baking, it might be time for you to make the upgrade to this stainless steel wire whip. This upgrade is sturdier and can even be put in the dishwasher without fear of rusting. It is sure to hold up to the heavy-duty baking that goes on in your restaurant.

Pastry Knife

No, this is not just a knife. It is, in fact, a mixer attachment. This is made for cutting butter into flour while you are making pastries. It will help you keep your pastries light, flaky, and perfect.

Spiral Dough Hook

  This dough hook is a great alternative to the traditional C-hook. It provides you with more of a kneading motion while you are mixing your ingredients together, thus saving you time and preventing you from having to spend extra time and effort kneading by hand. This is a definite must-have if you love making bread, pizza, or cookies that require kneading.

Special Attachments and Commercial Baking Help

Complete Chopper Attachment

This attachment is extremely cool and not what typically comes to mind when you think about what you can do with your stand mixer. Gone are the days of having to buy ground meat that has been sitting out in the grocery store all day. Now, you can impress friends and family by grinding your own meat to make into hamburgers, meatballs, tacos, or anything else you can imagine. Additionally, this will enable you to buy meat at a lower price without having to put in much work yourself.

Pelican Head with 3 Shredder Disks

The name is not very self-explanatory for this attachment. Essentially, it is a grater attachment that can be used to shred your own cheese. No need to spend extra money on buying pre-shredded cheese when you can use this attachment to do it easily on your own. This is key when you are trying to cut costs in your restaurant.

Vegetable Slicer Attachment

Do you have a lot of vegetable chopping that creeps up into your prep work? Cut down on that time drastically with this vegetable slicer attachment. Let this heavy-duty slicer do the work while you get to focus on other prep work in your kitchen.

S-Knife Assembly Piece

If you do not want to spend the money on purchasing both the Pelican Head cheese grater and the Vegetable Slicer, then this piece is for you. With this S-Knife assembly piece, you can turn the Pelican Head cheese grater into a vegetable slicer as well. This way, you can have two commercial kitchen essentials—a cheese grater and a vegetable slicer, and get all of the perks of both at a fraction of the cost!

Automatic Bowl Lifter

This piece is not exactly an attachment; however, it is an extremely important accessory. It is an essential piece in any commercial kitchen. It makes for a more efficient kitchen and decreases the risk of drops or spills. It can easily lift and tilt bowls to pour batter into your pans so you do not have to. Additionally, since it is battery operated, you will not need to worry about tripping over cords or being restricted to a specific area so the lifter can stay plugged in.

Final Thoughts

Every baker or chef knows that a Hobart mixer can make life in the kitchen much easier. However, the attachment you choose can be just as important to creating the perfect dish.
