I do work for Hobart, so let me get that out of the way. I just thought that people might think this is cool. We're giving this one-of-a-kind mixer away at the Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. I wish I had a mixer that looked like this when I was making 70-pound batches of dough every day.

The International Pizza Expo is in Las Vegas next week, March 20-22. All you have to do is attend the show, fill out an entry form at the Hobart booth, and be present at the end of the show to win. It has a $17,000 list price, so it is a nice prize for a pizza operator. It is a 60 Quart mixer model P662.

It reminds me a lot of Alton Brown's flaming Kitchenaid.

Here's another flaming KA:

Flame On!

 

“Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'

Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.”

– From Fox TV’s “Family Guy”

No amount of "flame-age" will make up for having to deal with that STINKING safety cage!

For me, "serious pimping" involves modifications like removing the cage and giving me a nice

pouring shield. Oh yeah, and make mine a pink "Hello Kitty" mixer. THEN I'll buy a raffle ticket....

FYI

No new floor mixer sold after 1995 has been sold without a cage. Nobody really likes working with them, but it is the law. However, the Hobart is the easiest to work with, and does have a nice pourning shield. :smile:

SB (wonders why a creature with no mouth would need kitchen appliances?)

One should be glad she has no mouth, otherwise there's the issue of Hello Kitty Hairballs. :raz:

And also why there's no Hello Kitty Litter Box!

I've worked with them, and I've worked without them. I'm more comfortable using a mixer with the shield, because I'm just enough of a klutz to catch my apron in it while it's running, or some damned thing...

I also favour steel-toed boots for working in. Call me paranoid.

Once it is sold, can you remove it?

I know, I know, probably not.

But can you at least make it easier to work with from the perspective of adding ingredients (without it running along the cage edge and out?) with the mixer running?

There is an accessory that clips onto the bowl guard that makes it easy to add ingredients. It is kind of spout that allows the user to add any ingredients while the mixer is running.

Did you know you can customize your own KA mixer?

Hot Rod Flames, get 'em here!

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

i realize this is an old post but...

i used wire cutters and removed a couple of the wires on the cage to make my own hole to add ingredients. the cage can be removed for cleaning, but there are magnets or some other contacts that will keep the machine from turning on if the cage is removed.

well, the moral of the story is that if you jam a pen into the side where the cage "locks", eventually you will get some sugar stuck in there and it will stay that way. :biggrin: For how long I don't know but for now I'm grateful :wink:

When that stops, I'm definitely going to clip some of the wires, thanks for the suggestion.
