Picked it up brand new for $300, was wondering if anyone here has any testimonials about these things.
Maybe what they can be ideal for in southern cooking, etc. and what to maybe not use with them?
Not too up to date on kitchen appliances, was just told $300 for a brand new one was a decent deal, and was just wondering how they can bring some convenience to food preparations.

Well, I have the Kitchenaid amateur 600 and I find it suits my purposes just fine.
Subtle brag much?

It is my go to wedding gift. That's about all i know.
One day maybe i will be lucky enough to have one. Seems expensive for mashed potatoes.

makes great mashed potatoes. follow instructions in the book. bought the juicer attachment for oranges, works as expected. got the grinder attachment, and made quick work of some deer roasts for sausage. gonna get the dough hook and make some of the rolls that were just posted on here this weekend.
sorry, i can't offer much else. not much of a baker, and have really only used for mashed potatoes to date. looking forward to other ideas.

Make your own pizza dough

We have a lot of the attachments. I've made ice cream and pasta with it. Wife uses it for all her baking tasks and loves it, it's a really solid kitchen device to have in the house.

I use mine for every sort of standard mixer task, from cookie dough to bread dough, meringues, etc. It's a real baker's friend if you don't like hand kneading dough. Super wet doughs like ciabatta are easy peasy using a KA.
I regularly use the pasta roller & cutter attachments (they work great, but ironically I find it easier/quicker to make the dough itself in the food processor), as well as the citrus juicer (works well but can be splashy/messy).
Have the meat grinder; it's so-so, things must be at least partially frozen or the grinder plates quickly gum up.
If it broke tomorrow, I'd replace it within a week.

Thanks, was wondering some of the things I could tell about it. Picked it up for my mom and step father to use and I feel it would make their kitchen a lot easier on them. She's into making breads and cakes etc and he is an avid hunter who uses a lot of wild game.

try storing the grinder, grinder plates, blade, & auger (pretty much anything metal) in a ziplock in the freezer. Keeps the fat from melting & the protiens from "gumming" up.

I make pizza and pasta dough in it and use the pasta attachments to roll and cut pasta. My wife makes millions of cookies and cupcakes. Grater attachment works well. Solid machine

Solid machines 875 watt motor, compared the the 350 watt in the artisan and other flip top models. A lot more torque. A simpler motor and speed control that isn't messed up by dust.
It does have a sacrificial gear in the drive that is designed to fail before the gear attached to the motor, so that is a plus.
They have more power for attachments and are the next best thing to the 1.25 HP Commercial model.
Other than that, all kitchen aids are great machines, that can do a lot of things. Look into attachments.
Make your own bread. make your own butter. Make your own whipped cream. A lot you can do.
