KitchenAid Sifter + Scale Makes Baking Easier
The KitchenAid® Sifter + Scale stand mixer attachment will help passionate home bakers elevate their baking skills, just in time for the holiday season. The all-in-one attachment accurately measures, thoroughly sifts and automatically adds ingredients directly into the mixer bowl in just one step.
A critical part of baking success is reliant on accuracy. An easy-to-use digital scale measures ingredients by weight so baked goods turn out the way they should.
Quickly and easily achieve fluffy, consistent results with the revolutionary Sifter + Scale attachment that accurately measures, thoroughly sifts and automatically adds ingredients directly to the mixer bowl in just one step.
Simply attach the Sifter + Scale Attachment to the power hub of any KitchenAid Stand Mixer to experience hands-free sifting as the sifter gradually incorporates ingredients into the mixer bowl.
The new Sifter + Scale attachment from KitchenAid® precisely measures and weighs your baking ingredients.
The digital scale can also be used separately on your countertop with the included scale plate.
“The new Sifter + Scale will be an essential must-have attachment for people who love to bake,” said Nikki Lockett, U.S. Marketing Leader for KitchenAid Small Appliances. “This will allow people to perfect their favorite baked goods and achieve consistent, delicious results every time.”
Properly sifted and accurately measured ingredients are the first step to professional-quality baked goods. If you don’t prep your ingredients correctly, things turn out wrong. A cup of flour varies when measured for volume rather than weight and failing to sift ingredients can result in flat cakes and breads. Powered by the stand mixer, the new Sifter + Scale attachment makes it easy to eliminate the guesswork and bake with precise amounts of ingredients.
The Sifter + Scale is an all-in-one attachment that allows users to:
Measure dry ingredients before placing them into the hopper to be sifted. The scale can also be used separately on a countertop to weigh ingredients that don’t need to be sifted, such as chocolate chips.
Enjoy the ease of hands-free sifting, leaving more time to take care of other tasks. Not only more efficient, hands-free sifting provides more consistent mixing to produce fluffy baked goods.
Use the chute to incorporate ingredients slowly into the bowl while the mixer is running for optimal results. The chute can also swivel to funnel ingredients into a separate container without spilling.
Easy to clean and store, the Sifter + Scale is a necessary attachment for holiday baking and an ideal holiday gift for those looking to improve their skills in the kitchen. From fluffy cakes to delicious bread, passionate bakers will love what the attachment can do to perfect their favorite baked goods.
The MSRP for the Sifter + Scale is $169.99 and is available on KitchenAid.com and at select retailers nationwide.
