I'm so excited I got my new KitchenAid stand mixer and the model I chose to buy
was the ultra power plus if you guys are looking to invest in one you should
definitely check out this model so stick with me while I test it out and show you
its features
so the ultra power plus comes with a 300 watt motor and sliding this lever over
lets you tilt the head up and tilt it down and then lock it into place
the accessories include a beater for your cakes and pastries a dough hook for
kneading your dough and a wire whip for doing fast whipping and they're all
really easy to just slide on and off and if you're lucky you'll even get a
pouring shield included with your set so mine came with a four and a half quarter
steel bowl with a handle and it's really easy to just clamp it into the base here
you just pop it in and give it a twist it comes with a 10 speed control
starting from stirring all the way to 10 stir being the lowest and 10 being the
highest
comes with an attachment hub and it comes with a whole bunch of accessories
that you can buy separately and I can show you that in my next video so please

test out the beater first pop in the bowl and lower the head down very carefully
because this is actually quite heavy lock it into place and put it on stir
fast oh and look at that I'm gonna increase the speed here a little bit to
2 and then to 4 which is a medium setting
and there you have it beautifully beaten I'm just gonna show
you the bottom of the bowl here there's nothing left at the bottom it scraped
the whole thing off so next I want to try my dough hook so I'm gonna tilt the
head back and pop on my dough hook so on our first attempt we have some flour
with some butter mixed in and we were so excited to try the dough hook and we
popped it on stir first to mix the butter into the flour and we just
started adding water to it and we were so excited about trying it out and
watching the dough hook go round and round and try and make the dough that we
just kept on adding the water and we kind of ended up with a sticky mess so
we had to add some more flour in there to try and get it back to a normal
consistency
so you can see here it's quite sticky so whatever you do don't make that same
mistake so on my second attempt I measured two cups of flour and this is
what I mean when I say it's heavy so you have to lower it down very gently and
here I have one cup of water I'm going to use the pouring shield here switch it
on to stir
and then gradually add the water
it's not really splashing anywhere so I'm just gonna remove this shield so you
guys can see properly and what you're gonna want to do is gradually add the
water and you can see it forming into a nice dough once it's all mixed together
I'm just gonna increase the speed to 2 and then I'm gonna increase it to 4
and that will be the maximum you don't want to use a very high speed because it
was damage the motor when you're making dough when you put the speed above four
you'll notice the machine start to shake and vibrate so you really want to keep
it on speed level 4 so you can see it's done a really good job of making the
dough it's taken it all from the bottom as well and it hasn't left any powder
residue at the bottom
and the consistency is really good I just used one cup of water with two cups
of chapati flour depending on the type of flour that you're using you'll need
to adjust the water what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cover this for ten minutes to
let it set and after ten minutes I'm just gonna knead the dough again for one
or two minutes and now you can see that the texture is much better after letting
it rest for at least 10 minutes
okay guys so that's all for now please be sure to watch out for more videos
