<p>In modern kitchens, the <a href="https://www.murenking.com/product" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stand food mixer</a> is simply the right arm of the chefs, and it has an unshakable position for the roaster. Among the large-scale equipment most commonly used by bakers, in addition to the oven, it should be the cook machine. These two equipment complement each other and have achieved the creative dream of generations of bakers. In short, a stand food mixer is a machine that can help chefs complete various kitchen tasks. It has a variety of processing ingredients in one.</p><p><br></p><p>The following will help you choose the right machine by analyzing the motor, gear, mixing head, mixing bowl, body, control, and time attributes of kneading and filming of the cook machine.</p><p><br></p><p>Motor</p><p>The coil material of the cook machine motor can be divided into copper wire and aluminum wire. The pure copper motor can kill the aluminum wire motor in terms of conductivity and heat dissipation. Of course, the cost of metal copper is higher than that of aluminum, so the price of a cook machine with a pure copper motor will be slightly higher, but from a long-term perspective, this cost is actually very cost-effective.</p><p>According to the current working mode, the motors can be divided into AC motors and DC motors. In the past, AC motors had a higher market share due to their low cost. Now the technical cost of manufacturing DC motors is declining, so there are more and more cook machines using DC motors. Compared with AC motors, DC motors have the advantages of low heat generation, power saving, quietness, and smooth speed change, but its disadvantages are that the cost and maintenance cost are slightly higher. However, the service life of a cook machine using a DC motor can usually reach more than 3 years, and the cost evenly distributed over time is not too high. In addition, the efficiency of DC motors and AC motors with the same power is more than twice that of AC motors.</p><p>The power of the current household cook machine using AC motor is usually more than 800 watts, while the DC motor needs more than 400 watts to efficiently knead dough. The greater the power of the cook machine, the greater the amount of dough that can be kneaded and beaten, and the higher the efficiency. Therefore, choose the motor power according to your use position.</p><p><br></p><p>Gear</p><p>There are usually 6-10 gears for home cooking machines. The speed of different gears is different, ranging from 80 rpm to 300 rpm. Everyone who has driven a car knows that the lower the gear, the slower the speed and the greater the torque that can be generated. Therefore, a lower gear is required for kneading and a higher gear is required for stirring, mainly depending on the viscosity of the ingredients.</p><p>During the kneading process, the speed can be changed from low speed to medium speed. Many chef’s official recommendations do not knead the dough with a gear higher than XX. In fact, if the rotation speed does not reach a certain speed, it is difficult to knead the glove film. Theoretically, the speed of dispersing liquid ingredients can be adjusted to the highest, but in the actual dispersing of egg whites and cream, pay attention to the problem of excessive dispersing at high speed. It may be safer to use high speed at the beginning and switch to medium speed later.</p><p><br></p><p>Mixing head</p><p> There are three main types of mixing heads in the chef's machine, namely, dough hook, mixing paste, and egg cage. The dough hook is the most frequently used for making bread, and the egg cage is the most used for making cakes.</p><p>There are two main materials for the mixing head, one is stainless steel, and the other is aluminum alloy with non-stick coating. If you consider food safety, stainless steel may be more popular. However, if you use a better non-stick coating, you don't have to worry about safety issues, but the non-stick coating may not be really non-stick, otherwise the dough hook will not be able to bring the dough when kneading.</p><p>In commercial kneading machines and some high-end chefs, the kneading hook also functions as a temperature sensor, allowing the chef to detect the temperature of the dough. This design is very practical, it is convenient for us to observe the temperature changes of the dough and do a good job of temperature control in time.</p><p><br></p><p>Mixing bowl</p><p>When the motor power allows, the capacity of the mixing bowl determines how much material the chef can mix. Since the raw materials can be expanded several times by sending, the mixing bowl should of course be as large as possible so that you can send more materials. However, the greater the capacity of the mixing bowl, the greater the minimum weight required for mixing raw materials. The capacity of the mixing bowl of a household cooker is usually about 4-8 liters, while the capacity of the mixing bowl of a commercial mixer is 10-50 liters.</p><p>The most common mixing bowl material is 304 stainless steel, usually printed with the words "sus304", this material is light and strong, and easy to clean, very suitable for use as a food container. There are also some stand food mixers that take the small and fresh route with tempered glass mixing bowls, but their capacity is small and heavy. Except for it looks slightly higher, other advantages are lacking.</p><p><br></p><p>body</p><p>The main body of the mainstream cook machine uses two materials, namely ABS engineering plastic and cast aluminum alloy. The quality of cast aluminum alloy is heavier than plastic, so the metal body is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is also better in terms of texture and durability. It's just that the overall weight of the metal body of the cook machine is relatively large, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult for girls to move it, except of course for female men. If it is a lightweight body made of engineering plastics or other materials, the bottom of the body will be equipped with powerful suction cup feet, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of high-speed kneading.</p><p><br></p><p>Control</p><p>The control mentioned here refers to the control system of the cook machine, which is mainly composed of buttons and display. In the early entry-level cook machines, mechanical knobs were generally used for control, and there was no display screen. Instead, indicator lights were used to display power and gear.</p><p>The current mid-to-high-end stand food mixer can realize the functions of stepless speed regulation, timing and temperature display of the stand food mixer through the combination of buttons and LCD display. Don't underestimate the timing function, it can more accurately control the degree of kneading and blowing. The temperature display function has been mentioned before, it is a good helper to help you control the temperature of the dough.</p><p><br></p><p>Kneading and filming time</p><p>The time of kneading and filming is not static, it will be affected by many factors, such as flour protein content, dough weight, water content, temperature, humidity, rotation speed, etc. Therefore, the chef cannot be simply judged by the time of kneading and filming. The quality of the machine.</p><p>If you want to make the cooking machine take a shorter time, you must master some kneading know-how. Choose flour with higher protein content, add appropriate amount of water according to the water absorption of the flour, reduce the temperature of the dough by refrigerating the raw materials, and add fat to the later stage. These methods can shorten the kneading time. And the most important point is to change the kneading gear, first mix the dispersed materials at a low speed, and then turn to a medium speed to vigorously beat the dough, so that the glove film can be kneaded faster.</p>
