Stand mixers, and more specifically planetary models, are extremely versatile machines. This is why they are undoubtedly the most widely used mixer in catering today. Not only can they mix dry ingredients and batter, but, with the proper agitator, they can prepare a variety of pastry mixes for delicious pastries. Our flat beater attachment is ideal for making most pastries, like buttery and light shortcrust pastry. For mixing heavier, denser pastry dough, we recommend using the dough hook tool.

Making Pastry in a Stand Mixer
Have a think about what you intend to use your mixer for. If it is mainly dough based products, such as traditional bakeries, then we advise a spiral mixer for large daily batches. But, if your culinary output is varied, covering main meals to deserts, then the versatility of a planetary stand mixer is for you! Why not utilize the same machine as you use to slice vegetables, chop meat and make sauces, to also prep pastry dough? For general purpose kitchens, a planetary pastry mixer is ideal. Use the correct paddle attachment, and make pastry on an industrial scale, as well as complete a selection of other tasks.
