Kitchen Aid Flex Edge Beater

Hey everyone-I got a new kitchen toy! I've always liked the idea of these silicone edge beaters but wanted to wait until Kitchen Aid came out with their own version, well they have.
 
My review: This beater makes creaming sugar and butter/shortening a dream! And it does scrape down the sides of the bowl nicely. If you need a gift idea for the baker in your life (or for the person that has everything), I think this is a great idea!

They come in two sizes, one for tilt head mixers and one for lift bowl mixers and can be found everywhere from Amazon to Macy's to Williams-Sonoma.

This beater has been Lynn tested and Earl approved!

    Whoot-whoot! I've been wanting one of these Lynn. I'm so glad you had such terrific results with this new beater. I'm asking Santa for one!

    PS, my napkin ring/flower vases came and they are adorable. Thanks for the heads up!

    Happy Creaming to YOU!

    I saw this used on QVC with the new glass bowl model...Yippy, can't wait for them to come out with one for the larger bowl! - Cute tablecloth with Santa riding the pig...a relative of Earl perhaps? xo

    Lynn,
    This is so nifty! But I don't have a Kitchen Aid. Just a really cool Sunbeam.
    Love it!

    I bought one, but had to bring it back. I bought the wrong one!And they didn't have the one I needed.
    DH uses my KA, I use the bigger Delongi, so maybe Santa should bring him one. :)

    Thanks for this review! I need a new blade for my Kitchen Aide mixer as the plastic coating on mine is wearing away. Now I'll look for this style!

    Hi Lynn,
    that looks gorgeous. And I like the Santa Claus riding on a pig!
    Season greetings to you and Earl

    I have the non Kitchen Aid version and LOVE IT! No more pouring out batter and realizing some is stuck to the bottom of the bowl. I never use the original one any more. Hope you're enjoying the season!

    I have one of those, too, Lynn, and I love it!! I wanted to tell you that I made some spritz cookies from a recipe in my old Mirro pamphlet...the "Snowflakes" one. I posted them recently. Merry Christmas to you & Earl.

    Cool! One day I might have to pick one of those up. BTW, I broke down and bought a KitchenAid mixer for myself for Christmas! Love it! No more mixing dough by hand - yay!

    I so need one of these! I hate scraping down the sides of my KitchenAid. Thanks for the heads up!

    The only thing I don't like about my KA mixer is having to constantly scrape the sides of the bowl. It looks like this will take care of the problem.

    I want one for myself, and I really wish that I hadn't already purchased my niece's gift. This would be perfect for her.

    Amazing idea. Beater and scraper in one!

    I don't have a counter mixer...someday, I would like to get one, tho. Then, maybe I can get this awesome beater.

    I bought myself this exact same beater just last week! It works pretty well except I found that it really puffed out the flour from the bowl when I was making cookies, no matter how slowly I started it. Guess I'll have to mix the dry with the wet ingredients a bit more before I turn it on.
    It really did a good job of mixing the ingredients away from the sides of the bowl, though.

    I think I'll buy one for DD, as well.

    Merry Christmas to you, Lynn!
    Hugs,
    Rett
