Kitchen Aid Beater Blade Attachment

This is my favorite Christmas present. The New Metro Beater Blade. I now have one that attaches to my 5 quart mixer and another one that attaches to my 6 quart mixer. I love them! They really do eliminate the need to scrape the bowl as you are mixing or adding ingredients. The blade just scrapes the bowl completely clean on the sides and the very bottom of the bowl. I highly recommend these blades. Mine are from Amazon.com and I attached a little description below that was found on Amazon. The blades are about $23.00 each on Amazon but I have seen them at City Kitchens (in Seattle) for about $32.

Cut your mixing time by up to 50 percent with the New Metro Design BeaterBlade. There's no more troubling "scraping the bowl," because the BeaterBlade mixes the batter so thoroughly that it eliminates build-up on the blade and bowl. It's one of the most efficient kitchen tools you'll ever own. Engineered for use with top-brand electric stand mixers, such as those offered by KitchenAid, the BeaterBlade will work with any tilt-head mixer, no matter its size, age, or power level.

The high-quality blade includes flexible rubber wings down both sides, which simulates the action of a power spatula to continuously scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, much like your car's windshield wiper blades. By continuously scraping the batter while beating, folding, and mixing the ingredients, the BeaterBlade not only speeds up the process by as much as 50 percent, but it also saves wear and tear on your mixer's motor by eliminating the need to turn the mixer off and on to scrape the bowl manually.

Made in the U.S.A., the BeaterBlade is perfect for cakes, cookies, frostings, quick breads, compound butters, meatloaf, pie fillings, mashed potatoes, gum paste and other tasty foods. It washes easily and safely on the top rack of your dishwasher; just place it upside down on the rung, and use a bottle brush to clean the inside of the neck. It measures 10 x 6 x 0.8 inches.
