This morning I used the heavy-duty, coated with something very durable (YES, not plastic!) beater attachment to make egg salad. You know, the 5Qt bowl just doesn't look that big straight out of the package, but it is huge when you put it into use. My 4 eggs, mayo, horseradish sauce and mustard barely covered the bottom of the bowl. But, to its credit, the Artisan mixed the ingredients smoothly with only 1 scrape of the bowl with the rubber spatula, mostly done to prove to myself that I AM still a vital part of the cooking process, not because I needed to. Impressive how the "Planetary" movement of the mixer really does get to all the stuff on the sides of the bowl. This machine is so cool! Why didn't I get one sooner? The salad, by the way, was so hot when I added a tsp of fresh minced jalapenos, that I quickly boiled 4 more eggs to dilute the heat. Then I remembered my Mom loves to add cream cheese, so I put in a third of a chunk of that. It's to die for! Want to come over for lunch?

Making Firecracker Egg Salad with the Artisan
