Food processor KITCHENAID Artisan 5KSM185PS, 4.8 L stainless-steel bowl, 300 W, 10 speeds, red

The KitchenAid 4.8L stand mixer is a versatile and durable kitchen appliance designed for mixing, kneading, whipping and more. It includes stainless steel accessories — whisk, flat beater and dough hook — and comes with both 4.8L and 3L stainless steel bowls. The mixer features a zinc metal construction, enamel-coated body, metal knobs, lever speed control from 1 to 10 and a direct-drive motor. A 5-year warranty is included and the mixer supports a range of optional KitchenAid attachments. Personalisation options are available, including an extra bowl and engraving.

Advantages

The mixer combines robust build quality with flexible functionality: strong zinc construction and stainless steel accessories ensure longevity, while the original planetary action and 10-speed lever control deliver consistent results for a variety of recipes. Two bowls (4.8L and 3L) reduce the need for immediate washing between mixtures. The enamel finish and metal knobs give a premium look and easy cleaning; bowls and accessories are dishwasher-safe. Optional attachments and personalisation increase adaptability for different culinary tasks.

How to use

Fit the desired accessory (whisk, flat beater or dough hook) to the attachment hub and lower the tilt-head. Select the appropriate speed using the lever from 1 to 10 and start mixing; use lower speeds for gentle folding and higher speeds for whipping or vigorous mixing. Use the pouring shield when adding ingredients to avoid splashes. After use, remove bowls and accessories and wash them in the dishwasher or by hand; wipe the enamel body with a damp cloth.

Recommendations

For best results, begin mixing on a low speed to combine ingredients, then increase speed as needed. Use the 3L bowl for smaller batches or when preparing a second mixture to avoid interruptions. Choose the appropriate attachment: dough hook for bread and pizza dough, whisk for meringues and aerated mixtures, flat beater for batters, mashed potatoes and frostings. Refer to the instruction manual for attachment fitting, maintenance and safety guidelines.
