Kitchen Appliances Buying Guide
Your kitchen is much more than a sink. You now need a
refrigerator, an
Mandolin.
Large Appliances
It can be a huge investment to purchase any large appliance. Hopefully these buying guides will make your buying process a little easier!
The Stand vs. The Hand
If you are in the market for a new mixer, you should have an idea of how you want to use your mixer before you buy. If you are leaning more towards an everyday whipping and stirring machine then a handheld mixer is probably a better and cheaper choice. If you are looking for a machine to mix cookies, mashed potatoes, and viscous foods, the stand mixer is probably the better option for you. The winner of the debate is really decided by you and your mixing needs.
