Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — the value of a planetary mixer is mainly determined by the range and quality of its accessories; the same mixer with different attachments can work with both the heaviest yeast dough and the lightest sponge cake batter; properly selected accessories reduce the risk of dough overheating, improve the quality of the finished product and extend the service life of the mixer in HoReCa businesses.
Dough hook, whisk and beater — basic accessories
Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — the three basic accessories for every planetary mixer enable the processing of products of different consistencies. Dough hook — a spiral-shaped hook for mixing heavy dough: bread, pizza, yeast dough; the hook imitates the hand-kneading motion; stainless steel construction ensures hygiene. Whisk — a balloon whisk for incorporating air: egg white foams, cream, sponge cake batter; the wire structure maximises air inclusion; see Electromechanical Equipment. Beater — a flat-edged paddle for mixing lighter batters: cake batter, mashed potatoes, butter; reduces air intake. BHS provides dough mixer accessories.
Bowls and additional accessories for planetary mixers
Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — additional accessories improve the mixer’s convenience and production efficiency. Bowls of various capacities — a standard bowl is included with the mixer; additional bowls of different sizes (5, 10, 20, 30 litres) allow working with different batch quantities; stainless steel bowls are durable and hygienic. Bowl cover and dough guard — the guard prevents dough splashing during intensive mixing; the cover ensures dough fermentation in the bowl. Specialised attachments — specialised attachments are available for certain models: bread slicer, meat grinder, vegetable slicer, pasta maker; see Hand Mixer.
HACCP and hygiene when working with mixer accessories
Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — mixer accessories come into direct contact with food products; their cleaning and disinfection are HACCP required. Cleaning after each use — the hook, whisk and beater should be washed immediately after use; dried dough residues are harder to clean; the bowl should be cleared of dough residues before washing. Dishwasher — most stainless steel accessories are dishwasher-safe; check the manufacturer’s instructions; aluminium accessories may oxidise in the dishwasher. Storage — accessories should be stored in a dry place, separately or attached to the mixer; BHS provides dough mixer accessories.
Mixer accessory usage scenarios in HoReCa
Patisserie — in a patisserie, the planetary mixer with a whisk works for preparing airy batters; the hook for dough mixing; bowls of different capacities for parallel work; BHS provides accessories. Bakery or pizzeria — for mixing pizza or bread dough, the dough hook is the main accessory; larger bowl capacity ensures larger batches. Restaurant with a patisserie section — in a restaurant patisserie, the planetary mixer with all three basic accessories is standard equipment; BHS provides the project. BHS offers dough mixer accessories for HoReCa businesses across Europe.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if accessories are compatible with my mixer model? Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — accessory compatibility depends on the mixer manufacturer and model; almost all manufacturers (Hobart, KitchenAid, Kenwood, Electrolux Professional, etc.) have their own specific accessory connections; contact BHS, specifying the mixer model; see Electromechanical Equipment.
Can the same accessories be used for both dough and butter? Dough Mixer and Whisk Accessories — technically yes, if cleaned between products, but in practice it is better to have separate accessories for different types of products; the dough hook is not optimal for whipping and vice versa; see Hand Mixer.
