Mixers

Mixers with metal or glass bowls and attachments that keep plastic away from dough and batter.

Beaters and dough hooks need the same attention as the bowl: all three touch your ingredients.  We favor uncoated metal attachments and exclude plastic and PFAS coatings from those surfaces.  Exterior housings and controls are assessed separately because they do not normally touch food.

KitchenAid Artisan Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer — Agave KitchenAid Artisan Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer — Agave STAINLESS STEELSILICONEUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The stainless-steel bowl, beaters, whisk and dough hook avoid coated mixing tools.  A silicone-edged beater helps scrape batter from the bowl, while slow-start mixing limits flour splashes.  Independent hands-on tests found it stable when kneading pizza dough.  Leave off the included plastic pouring shield shown in the photo.

Spiralmac Royal Queen SV5 Spiral Dough Mixer — White, 110V Spiralmac Royal Queen SV5 Spiral Dough Mixer — White, 110V STAINLESS STEEL Why we recommend it: The stainless-steel bowl, dough hook and breaker bar all lift out for washing, so cleanup does not depend on wiping around fixed mixing parts.  They also keep dough off plastic mixing surfaces.  This Italian-made 110V machine is a dedicated bread and pizza dough mixer, with variable speed and a fixed head.  Its steel cabinet has an exterior powder coating. Materials: stainless steel $1,750.00 View product
Sunmix EVO6 Spiral Dough Mixer — 110–120V Sunmix EVO6 Spiral Dough Mixer — 110–120V STAINLESS STEEL Why we recommend it: For frequent bread and pizza bakers, the EVO6 keeps dough against a stainless-steel bowl, kneading spiral and breaker bar instead of coated mixing tools.  Its temperature sensor can stop kneading at your chosen limit, while saved programs make repeat batches easier.  This Italian-made machine is a dough specialist, not an all-purpose cake mixer.  Currently available to preorder, with an estimated 30-day delivery time.
