The familiar sight of a KitchenAid stand mixer on any kitchen countertop in America is bound to bring some tasty memories for many. Turns out, this stand mixer is still the brand chefs rely on most, and many a grandmother, too. If it wasn't top of the list already on your wedding registry, consider the functionality of this piece of equipment: it blows way past baking cakes and whipping egg whites and into realms where there is literally something for everybody. KitchenAid mixer attachments are the secret. The basic 3-pack of accessories will give you attachments that can be used to shred firm vegetables, cheese and nuts, as well as grind meat and strain fruits and vegetables. If that doesn't grab you, check out the pasta rolling attachment, the ice cream maker attachment, the grain meal or the citrus juicer! And don't forget the luscious selection of colors to match any kitchen décor.

Beyond the extraordinary powers of the stand mixer, other KitchenAid appliances are also due their day in the sun. There's a sleek countertop convection oven that can double your holiday baking space (and time). 3-Speed Immersion Blenders are great for those soup recipes that need pureeing, without messing up another pot, or for small chopping needs. And you can trust their coffee grinders are up to the AM task. The KitchenAid universe expands further into cutlery sets, a wide array of cookware-from grill pans to teakettles-and even to toasters and basic kitchen utensils.

Although there are other stand mixers on the market, only one mixer carries the KitchenAid name that expert chefs trust. Originally debuting with the Model H-5 stand mixer in 1919, KitchenAid has become synonymous with stand mixers. The high-quality motor ensures that your ingredients are blended smoothly. The diverse array of available mixer attachments can turn your KitchenAid mixer into a flexible kitchen tool for any job. You can turn your KitchenAid mixer into a pasta roller, pasta cutter, ravioli maker, meat grinder, vegetable slicer or an ice cream maker just by changing the attachment. Best of all, KitchenAid has designed their attachments to work with KitchenAid stand mixers; even the original Model H-5 from 1919 can take advantage of the modern attachments.

KitchenAid's mixers are crafted from the finest materials and built with an eye for craftsmanship. Your mixer isn't just a practical tool for your kitchen; KitchenAid mixers have been built with style in mind for decades. In 1936, KitchenAid started a trend when they hired award-winning industrial designer Egmont Arens to design their new mixers; even now, decades later, his influence can still be felt in the retro-chic design of KitchenAid's stand mixers. You're sure to find the perfect mixer to fit in with your kitchen's style, whether you have a stainless-steel kitchen or a whimsical pink kitchen. It's no wonder that so many wedding registries feature a KitchenAid mixer prominently.

While stand mixers are KitchenAid's most well-known products, the brand isn't limited to mixers. In 1955, KitchenAid entered the cooking market with their purchase of the Chambers Range Company. Since then, KitchenAid has continued to innovate in this market; the company offers toasters, toaster ovens, countertop convection ovens and more.

KitchenAid also offers a versatile line of other small appliances, from coffee grinders to hand blenders. These small appliances feature powerful motors and elegant styling, and each appliance is specialized for one of the many tasks in your kitchen. KitchenAid's hand mixers and hand blenders work great for small mixing jobs, and their food processors will take the drudge work out of food preparation.

Rounding out their offerings, KitchenAid also produces elegant cookware. KitchenAid's devotion to quality and design is apparent in all of their cookware, from nonstick pots and pans to tea kettles. From the first mix to the final bake, your KitchenAid cooking experience will be a delight.
