A New Kitchen Aid Attachment for 2015

If you are a Kitchen Aid mixer owner, you may be wondering what new attachments there are for 2015!  The newest attachment on my list is the KitchenAid KSM1APC Spiralizer Attachment with Peel, Core and Slice which makes vegetable noodles for a healthier meal option.  Making zucchini or squash noodles is very popular today with lots of recipes that can be found on recipe sites.  I substitute my vegetable noodles for flour pasta noodles in recipes since I am always needing to watch my diet to loose weight and it is a better choice for my diabetic partner.



I recommend experimenting with the types of vegetables and fruit when you get your attachment. Some such as the zucchini are easy to slice but other harder vegetables such as butternut squash are a bit of a challenge.  As with all things I found, not everything works well in the attachments.  There are however, many items that work well and many different types of recipes to use this spiralizer for.


There are 3 sizes of blades that come with this attachment feature for your Kitchen Aid.  Having the handy peeling tool with the slicer blades is a nice added feature.  There is no need to peel
 before using the spiralizer tools.  Many hand crank spiralizers require you to peel the vegetable or fruit first.

This new attachment is dishwasher safe and has a one year warranty just like all other Kitchen Aid attachments and appliances.  Owning a Kitchen Aid stand mixer becomes many different appliances in one!  That is one of my favorite things about the Kitchen Aid brand!

What is the Most Popular Kitchen Aid Mixer Color?

With the fifteen (15) or more colors of the Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer, I was sitting here wondering what color was the favorite of customers?  I see the Candy Apple Red color quite in the stores lately.  I noticed that this red mixer has many attachments that are also available in this lovely red shade.  I have to be honest, this is my favorite color in the kitchen.  I have a mix of apple red, black and soft yellow in my kitchen.

My mixer is a charcoal grey, but if I was to purchase a new one, I would select the Kitchen Aid stand mixer in candy apple red.  It is so attractive with black and silver appliances.  The next popular color of stand mixers that I see today is silver and black.  I think that these mixers blend with most decor and match the new appliances we see in new or remodeled homes.  White was a popular stand mixer in the past but think it is just a retro choice today.  If you see a white stand mixer in a home, it is usually an older mixer that they have had for years.

A new color of Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer for 2015 is Champagne Gold.  It has speck of glitter in the color that adds to its sparkle.  Kitchen Aid puts out a new colors each year to keep up with trends in decor in your home.  I do not find this new color attractive to me, but I will watch to see how it is received by the reviews once it is one the market for awhile.  What is your favorite stand mixer color?
