The next one broke too, but it was after the warranty expired (which was for another year). I had it fixed for a pretty penny, and so far so good, but the new machines are not like the old one. I no longer use the kitchen aid for challah, I got a magic mill that I use only for challah. I know it is pricey but much much cheaper than buying challah every week (not to mention the taste).Female life actuarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-45287395653153188122011-03-13T11:56:09.126-04:002011-03-13T11:56:09.126-04:00The appliance that has paid dividends for me is th...The appliance that has paid dividends for me is the $20 Belgian waffle iron from Target. It (along with Krusteaz pancake mix)has transformed breakfasts in my house. Homemade waffles are the fall back breakfast to the point where I tell my kids, "I don't have time for you to have cereal for breakfast; I'll make you a waffle." It is honestly easier to make mix up the batter and make waffles than to deal with finding the four bowls and spoons necessary to give the kids cereal.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-37348154390101228742011-03-13T10:08:50.080-04:002011-03-13T10:08:50.080-04:00And don't forget a good food processor!

I don't have a mixer yet so I bake my challah by hand, but the Cuisinart FP fills in nicely for cakes and cookies and of course grating veggies etc. For Pesach I have a Braun FP it's a great machine as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-73443519060721510022011-03-12T22:30:15.006-05:002011-03-12T22:30:15.006-05:00tesyaa-There is a first for everything.

We even had to shorten the first rise because we were tight on time.<br /><br />Interestingly, I love my Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer, and my mother in laws is going strong after several decades, but they are NOT the same as the "old" ones, the manufacturing division was sold off a number of years ago.<br /><br />They might still last 30 years, but I wouldn't necessarily expect it.Miami Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977503720972852329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-11322326292446108632011-03-12T21:25:01.866-05:002011-03-12T21:25:01.866-05:00My dividend-paying appliances include:

My regular Kitchenaid is now 35 years old and still going strong. You get what you pay for, and Kitchenaid is a true bargain when you look at years of use.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-9329034364149767962011-03-12T19:39:55.977-05:002011-03-12T19:39:55.977-05:00My KitchenAid mixer is 22+ years old and is like b...My KitchenAid mixer is 22+ years old and is like brand new.<br /><br />Great photo, I think this is the first photo I've seen on this blog!tesyaanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-87192316210664955422011-03-12T13:00:50.584-05:002011-03-12T13:00:50.584-05:00I'm new to blogging and therefore I'm new ...I'm new to blogging and therefore I'm new to your blog, so I didn't see them last time.<br /><br />Wow 15 minutes!<br />Now I don't really have any excuse not to try to make them!<br />Thanks<br />---<br />Daniela<br />http://isreview1.blogspot.comIsreviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880293007709039212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-86614086403987197472011-03-11T17:40:21.366-05:002011-03-11T17:40:21.366-05:0010 years sounds way too conservative.
