KitchenAid Artisan Plus: Hvad er forskellen?

New features on Artisan Plus Stand Mixer

If you’ve spent any time in the kitchen, chances are you’ve met the Artisan Stand Mixer. Sitting on the counter, ready to knead a bread dough one day and whip a meringue the next. It has been doing that job for years, and doing it well.

The Artisan Plus does all of that too, but comes with a few extra features. From Precision Speed Control and a ½ Fold Speed for delicate preparations, to an integrated Bowl Light and the Double Flex Edge Beater, it gives you the tools to handle recipes where precision and a lighter touch can make a difference.

Control your speed with even more precision

If you’ve ever felt like speed 4 was just a bit too slow and speed 5 was a bit too fast, this is where the Artisan Plus makes the difference. Its biggest plus? Precision Speed Mode - a new level of control that lets you slow things down or speed things up. Just a touch, when the recipe calls for it, or when your gut tells you to. And when it doesn’t? You rely on the Preset Mode. With its defined speeds it’s your go-to for consistent, everyday mixing.

Stay consistent with 11 speed choices on Preset Mode

This is your “get it done right” setting. Eleven preset speeds, including that brand new ½ Fold Speed, ready to handle the classic baking jobs. Pick your speed. Walk away. Come back to exactly what you had in mind. It kneads dough until it’s smooth and elastic, brings butter and sugar to that light, fluffy stage and whips cream or meringue until they hold their shape. No adjusting. No second-guessing.

Fine-tune with Precision Speed Mode

This is where you come in. Instead of moving from one fixed speed to the next, you glide between them. Smoothly. Gradually. Exactly how you want it. With a small twist of the knob. Some steps in a recipe just need a gentler hand. That’s where that little extra control pays off most. When you’re folding fresh blueberries into your muffin batter, take the speed down just a notch and they won’t get crushed. Or when you’re easing hot milk into a custard, whisk just a tad slower, so your eggs won’t scramble. Even emulsifying mayonnaise or hollandaise becomes easier, since you can build it up gently, letting it turn glossy and stable at its own pace. Small adjustments. Big difference.

Handle your delicate mixtures with even more care

Precise control over your mixing speed is one thing the Artisan Plus gets right. Keeping your textures intact and your counter clean? That’s part of the deal too.

Nail delicate mixtures with ½ Fold Speed

Working delicate or chunky ingredients into your batter or dough? This is where the ½ Fold Speed steps in. It moves more like a spatula than a mixer. Slow. Steady. Controlled. So when you fold whipped egg whites into a rich chocolate soufflé base or a soft Genoise sponge, you don’t lose that light, airy texture. Adding cornflour and vinegar to a glossy meringue at the end? It stays stiff. Smooth. Shiny.

The same goes for the bigger bits. The ones that make the whole thing worth eating. Like the chocolate chunks and nuts you stir through your chocolate chip cookie dough. Or the fresh rhubarb you scatter through the batter of this delicious summer fruit cake. Nothing gets crushed. Nothing gets lost in the mix.

Avoid the mess with Soft Start

You’ve added your flour. You’re pouring in milk and eggs. Then you switch on the mixer, cross your fingers and hope nothing flies out. Sounds familiar? Not anymore. With Soft Start you start slowly and build up to the speed you’ve chosen instead of jumping straight in. No batter splashing back at you. No flour going rogue. Everything comes together smoothly from the very first turn.

Designed to level up your everyday mixing

You’ve got the control. The precision. A gentler touch when your batter or dough asks for it. But those aren’t the only perks the Artisan Plus brings to the table. It also makes the everyday moments in the kitchen easier. With these features, you can keep a close eye on your mixture and skip the usual scraping pause mid-mix all.

Stay on top of your ingredients with the Bowl Light

Baking is as much about checking as it is about timing. Ever tried that in a dimly lit kitchen? Not ideal. The Bowl Light shines directly into the bowl while you mix, so you can see exactly what’s happening. Is the butter fully creamed? Has your dough come together? Are there still dry pockets at the bottom of the bowl? You’ll know without stopping mid-mix. And once you switch off your stand mixer, it stays on for 5 more minutes, so you can take one last look before moving on.

Mix and scrape at the same time with the Double Flex Edge Beater

Mixing a cake batter? Prepping cookie dough? Making frosting? This is where things usually stick to the sides of the bowl. But don’t let that slow you down. The Double Flex Edge Beater, an Artisan Plus exclusive, keeps things moving. It scrapes the bowl as it mixes, so everything gets picked up and worked through.

Count on the stainless steel accessories, batter after batter

Next to the Double Flex Edge Beater, the Artisan Plus also comes with a full set of stainless steel accessories. Flat Beater. Dough Hook. Wire Whip. They’re sturdy, easy to clean, and ready for whatever you’re making next. Straight into the dishwasher, then back in action.

Switch it up a notch with the attachments

Feeling adventurous? Go for it. Like all KitchenAid Stand Mixers, the Artisan Plus works with the full range of attachments. From a Pasta Roller and Cutter and Meat Grinder to the Ice Cream Maker, Bread Bowl and Food Processor.

Made to look as good as it works

You’ll be using it often. So the Artisan Plus might as well look the part too. The iconic Stand Mixer design you’ve come to know so well? It’s still there, but with a few sharp updates. New colours. Textured finishes. And a sleeker, more seamless bowl, right down to the details of the handle.

Next-level colours you won’t find anywhere else

From left to right: satin, crinkle, and metallic texture difference

Feeling bold? Or do you want your stand mixer to blend in a bit more? Either way, you’ve got options. Sun Dried Tomato for instance. An Artisan Plus in this warm, crinkle textured red livens up your counter without taking it over. Looking for something darker with a bit more edge?

Wild Blueberry is a deep, rich blue with a crinkle finish. Subtle, but unexpected. Oat on the other hand is a soft, neutral beige. Pick this understated, sandy textured shade for your Artisan Plus and it calms the whole kitchen down.

And if you’re drawn to stronger, more earthy tones, Iron Ore Bronze might do it for you. This mineral inspired smoky brown is confident, quiet and a tad luxurious. It comes with a textured metallic finish that catches the light.

A cleaner bowl design, down to the handle

Look closely and you’ll spot it. The handle doesn’t sit on the bowl anymore. It’s part of it. No seams. No sharp edges. It’s a small detail, but one that gives the Artisan Plus a cleaner, more refined look. And once you’re done using it? Into the dishwasher it goes.

Artisan Plus versus Artisan: what’s difference

So what sets the Artisan Plus apart from the original? At first glance, it’s the same iconic Stand Mixer you know. It has the same shape. It handles your everyday mixing, kneading and whisking in the same way. But once you start using it, the differences show up quickly. More control over your speed. Gentler movements for delicate mixes. A bowl that puts your ingredients in the spotlight. And a beater that scrapes the bowl for you. The overview below breaks it down for you.
