Used by amateur and professional bakers for more than 70 years, the classic stand mixer is a staple of the kitchen appliance world, and much of its staying power has to do with the consistency of the product, which has changed remarkably little in all that time. Most notably, the mixer\u2019s bowl-hugging form factor has defined it since the start.<\/p>\n<p>So when the company decided to integrate some new features and functions into an updated version of the mixer\u2014the Artisan Plus Stand Mixer, now on sale from $599\u2014the design team knew that any change must not affect that signature look.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Photo: KitchenAid]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a unique spot here because we are really attached to the silhouette. We really don\u2019t want to change the outside, which is a challenging engineering function when you say no, the package is fixed,\u201d says Joseph Snyder, a system architect at KitchenAid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"content-chunk\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit,w_1024\/wp-cms-2\/2026\/03\/07-91517997-kitchen-aid-update.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91518382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit,w_150\/wp-cms-2\/2026\/03\/07-91517997-kitchen-aid-update.jpg 150w, https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit,w_300\/wp-cms-2\/2026\/03\/07-91517997-kitchen-aid-update.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.fastcompany.com\/image\/upload\/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit,w_1024\/wp-cms-2\/2026\/03\/07-91517997-kitchen-aid-update.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 160px), 600px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Photo: KitchenAid]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-new-about-kitchenaid-s-stand-mixer\">What\u2019s new about KitchenAid\u2019s stand mixer<\/h2>\n<p>The changes included in the new Artisan Plus are the biggest improvements to KitchenAid\u2019s stand mixer in its 70-year history, according to the company. Features include a new, slower ingredient folding speed, continuous speed control for smooth transitions between speeds, an automatic light focused into the mixing area, and a special mixing wand that simultaneously stirs and wipes the inside of the bowl. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow you\u2019ve got to put all this functionality in there. So we had to do a lot of work to fit this new control in here because we really couldn\u2019t make any changes to the outside,\u201d Snyder says. \u201cWe had to do this all inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding these new features required the equivalent of industrial surgery. Snyder says the designers and engineers realized they had to make a major change to the internal workings of the mixer, replacing what Snyder calls \u201ctried-and-true\u201d analog electromechanical controls with a computer-like microcontroller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/91517997\/kitchenaid-upgraded-legendary-stand-mixer\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The silhouette could not change.
