@@ChocolateBoxCottage have you made any pirogi dough in the ankarsrum. Our family gets together to make them. We tend to make a huge batches enough to last the year and give out to other family, and we are all getting to the point we need electrical help in doing so. The kitchen aid I have barely lets me do quarter bag of AP flour. I love the openness look and the movable arm on the ank, not the pricetag. I made the big mistake on the kitchenaid.

@@deebee533 Hi, yes the Ankarsrum Assistent does a wonderful job with pirogi. My mother's side is German-from-Russia (Ukraine) and I use mine to make kaseknepfla, knoephla, schupfnudla, strudla / strudel (savory dumpling-style, not dessert), kuchen, kechla, etc. Your pirogi would be similar to our family's kaseknepfla. What a blessing to make these special dishes together as a family! Having a freezer stocked with an annual supply of heritage comfort food is a tremendous blessing - you should be proud. Many people love their KitchenAid mixers, but if it does not serve your purpose due to not enough capacity, have you considered selling it? I see used KitchenAids selling for quite a good price on Craigslist and FB Marketplace. Whatever you are able to get back for it could be put towards a savings fund for the one you really want . It is worth saving up for, believe me. Blessings to you! 🌼Michele

I think the Bosch is the most versatile and I have one since the 70’s that works beautifully! I may add I love white appliances. They match everything! As a professional chef, I use it the most and actually gave my professional Kitchen Aid mixers to another family who loves it and could not afford one. I love the Assistant in the commercial setting and loved mine very much. When I retired, I kept my Bosch. It will last my life time. Thank you so much for your video. All these machines are quality. Mixers are like perfume; very subjective.

Hi Michele...just got my Ankarsrum today!!!! An incredible machine....I truly love how intuitive it makes one as a baker..ie....you really watch how the flour absorbs into the liquid before you keep adding the flour...also how sometimes u don't even use the ammount the recipe calls for..it is so thorough...keep on

Congratulations, Joyce! I am excited for you. The Ankarsrum is a wonderful machine and it sounds like you already have a good grasp of its magic: adding the flour gradually and watching it absorb into the dough. You are right, most times you will use less flour in the Ankarsrum, which results in softer bread.

I've only had a Bosch for 4 years after 35+ years using KitchenAid. My old KitchenAid was great for making cakes and some cookies but too small to make anything but small batches. My newer Artisan KitchenAid is bigger but in 5 yrs I had to change out the inside mechanisms because they break. And it's still not strong enough to make anything but cakes. The Bosch is a workhorse that bakes big batches of cookies and bread. KitchenAid isn't even in the same category as far as I'm concerned.

I have had all three of the mixers in this video and concur with your findings. The Ankarsrum is by far the best one, aptly named "the assistant," because it will knead while you do other things. I love it. So far it has been a foolproof appliance that does what it says it does. I went thought five KA's (one, with a glass bowl, bounced off the counter and three burned out the motor and/or gears.). The KA was a pain for adding ingredients and handling lots of bread dough. The Bosch didn't last long because it is flimsy plastic - it felt and looked like a toy and did not handle large amounts of bread dough. The steel Ankarsrum has been a staple in many other countries and will last a lifetime because of its construction.

What an excellent video!!! Wish I had this a few months ago. My 1993 bowl lift KA is getting tired from all my bread baking. It's been a work horse and I love it. Called customer service for advice on repairs and or replacement. I'm not kidding when I tell you I was on the phone with them over a period of 4 days for over 4 hours ! They kept putting me on hold checking with a supervisor etc. They finally convinced me(against my better judgement) to order a reconditioned artisan series. It came and was defective plus it's less strong than my old K A. So I immediately returned it. It took over 5 weeks for them to refund my credit card because they "have to be checked in and they're stuck on the loading dock" My customer experience was so poor i will Never purchase from then again. They do not empower or train their customer service reps. After being a 30 year customer very disappointed. I will keep using it for the meantime. They dont support repair, just want you to spend $$. Been researching Kenwood ( England) or Anskarum (Sweden) My advice: you as a serious baker know what u need and purchase accordingly!!

I have had the Bosch Universal Plus, and now have an older Bosch. What I would say, is that for bread dough, the steel bowl without the center pole and with a bottom mounted dough hook is the best. By far the best! Why? The dough can not climb up and make a mess to clean. It has more room for larger doughs. It can also knead smaller doughs. The dough hook is machine washable. And when you tip out the dough onto the table, the dough hook will sit on top of the dough instead of underneath it, and can easily be removed without a mess. The dough hook has a scraper that scrapes the sides and bottom of the bowl. I bought an older Bosch that originally had that bowl with the bottom mounted dough hook, because I did not know that I could just buy that bowl from Bosch and use it on a modern Universal Plus. And that is what I highly will recommend for people that bake bread, get that bowl without the center console and every issue and annoying things will disappear. Plus you can make a really huge batch in that bowl, if you wish. It is a fantastic bowl that will make bread baking so much easier for you Bosch users.

I have both Kitchen and Bosch. I treasure both. I have had my Kitchen Aid for close to35 years and it still works great. The Bosch is about 15 years old and is awesome for making large batches of dough. I have made as many as 10 Loaves. My older model came with two sizes of bowls. One for about 5 loaves, the other for 10. Mixing beaters are different for each bowl.

I have a Bosch. It's amazing how much dough it will handle. Before they made the scraper, it left stuff on the center pillar, but the scraper fixed that. It's wonderful for pizza. You can make dough for lots of pizzas in one batch. You can get a Bosch with a steel bowl. It does a good job with sausage, too. Kitchenaid is warning people that its mixers burn out if dough kneading exceeds two minutes.

Lovely video, thank you. One correction though. I have a Bosch mixer that looks just like the one in your video and it is 800 watts--not 325 as stated. The KitchenAid next to it is probably the 325 watt mixer. I've been using Bosch mixers for about 25 years and have had excellent results with baking 4 large loaves of Khorasan wheat bread on a regular basis. I can mix triple and quadruple batches of cookies, etc. The Bosch is highly recommended. Would love to see the Ankasrum in action as it appears to be a high quality machine. Wishing you many blessings!

30 yr old universal Bosch mixer has probably made 1000 loaves over its lifetime, the blender is very seldom used. The bowl bulges,but doesnt break. Pros lightweight, splatter shield,secondary cover. Cons center hub isn't easy to clean. 4.5 qt Kitchenade 15 years for general mixing ,but occasionally for bread. Pros open bowl easy to clean,splatter shield, more than 10 accessories like ice cream maker can be added to front of the head. Cons heavy,weaker motor,tall and can hit upper cabinets while tilting. For large batches of bread get the Bosch,for everything else get the larger 6qt Kitchenade in my opinion. Have not tried the Assistant. Nice comparison!

@@abbystaggs2794 I understand, I'd rather spend time in the garden than in the kitchen right now myself. It is difficult to give a precise answer about subbing sourdough for yeast packets because it's more than just the yeast. There is the flour and water in the sourdough that need to be taken into consideration. And of course the timetable changes a lot between the two types. If you are reading the dough the way Carolyn teaches those skills carry over and yet look a little different. it's one of those things that you learn by feel. You've already got much of the basics so you will simply build on that foundation. There is no substitute for hands-on experience in baking. So...keep baking! It will fall into place. 🤗Michele
