Milchig Mixer

Posted: Mon, May 26 2008, 8:55 pm Post subject: Milchig Mixer

I have a Bosch machine which I use for challahs and pareve cakes; I have both the kneading bowl and the mixer bowl, with appropriate attachments.

I would love to try out some milchig recipes which call for milchig doughs. Up until now I have only been using my handblender for cheese pies and other such dairy recipes.

How do I handle the mixer need? Do I get an entirely new mixer for the once-in-a-blue moon that I wish to make a milchig dough? What do YOU do?

We asked a Sheila and I was told that I can use my regular mixer since it is parve and the milchig stuff is cold - so it wont make it Milchig unless it sits in there for over 24 hours or something like that. You just have to be careful to wash it out really really well in the end to make sure no milchig remenents stay behind.
Just double check with your LOR - but this is what we were told.

get a hand mixer ... but of course that depends on what and how often you're making it ...

I started buying whipped cream cheese when I make cheesecake ... instead of the blocks ... it mixes w/o mixer and I have a wisk that I love ... I use it for pancake batters as well ...

if its just once in a blue moon, do it by hand. Or ask your rav if it is ok to use the pareve one if it is cold. I have milchig beaters (because I like them for whipping cream) but thats it. (actually I don't have any mixer, though I would like to get one)

Greenfire and Raisin -
You didn't understand me; I don't need the purpose of a mixer for whipping, I.e. cheeses, cream cheeses, etc. That's what I wrote I use my handblender for. I now need a way to make a milchig DOUGH.

I have a hand mixer. Even if you make milchig things a lot, a hand mixer will last. I had one for the first 5 years or so that I was married.

my mother has one kitchen aid & two sets of bowls and blades. she didn't buy a second machine. not that the parts didn't cost the earth though. she keeps a separate food processor for milchig, but not a mixer.

I use my mixer for both milchik recipes and dough for parve/challahs. Since it's all cold and I make sure I clean it well every time, there is no problem. I think it does make the machine milchik but AFAIK there is no problem to use that for parve things afterwards.
Ideally I would buy separate mixer parts for milchik/parve/meat.
