Meet Cherry. She just got here from eBay and though I didn’t want a red mixer w my vintage pink appliances, she’s doing her best to fit right in. She comes with the added bonus of three pasta rollers, one for spaghetti, one for fettuccine, and one for flat like lasagna. So I guess I’m going to need a good recipe for that.

She is the incredibly difficult to find proline 7 qt that’s been discontinued, but it has the big commercial 8qt dc motor in it. So these are scarce to find and since I needed a bigger bowl because I can’t make Swiss meringue buttercream in the smaller bowl without it fighting me, and Marilyn confirmed my 5 qt size was the issue, I’ve had my eye out for one of these for quite a while. Her official ka color is candy apple red.

While, she came with the three KitchenAid pasta attachments, which I must say are quite pretty and have the name of the pasta engraved in script on them, it only came with the stainless steel wire whip. So I’ve ordered the stainless steel nsf certified flat beater, and dough hook direct from ka as they were on sale for 20% off and everyone was selling the actual ka brand at the same price.

I really want to use her right away, but can’t really think what I could make with just the wire whip. I was going to come in here and ask you to help me name her but as soon as I thought, what should I name you Cherry immediately popped into my mind so, I guess she told me her name. I’m super excited to get her!

Those rollers are beauties! Is that by any chance, a stainless whip? I hope the two of you enjoy and long and happy relationship. Her presence will not be easy to overlook.

Yes, the whip is stainless 👏 so can go in the dishwasher! I don’t know why the pro line didn’t come with a stainless beater and dough hook, so I would’ve upgraded it anyway, because those ceramic coated ones end up chipping.

I managed to find a flex beater in stock that will arrive tomorrow. The stainless beater and hook won’t get here till Thursday and I couldn’t wait! The rollers are really beautiful, marked made in Italy and look unused. Now you can get all 3 cutters in one unit. I saw it at Costco yesterday, but it wasn’t all stainless like these. I didn’t open the box, but the color looked gray in the photo.

(I could’ve drove 30 miles each way to get the flex beater today, I didn’t bc I just paid $6! a gallon for gas at Costco - cheapest in town and up .50 from a week and 1/2 ago. This is also how I found out apparently the 2 sur la table stores near me have apparently closed 😢.)
