Kitchenaid has been building mixers since 1919 for professionals but after a while the home chefs demanded them as well. The durable design and simple to use features allowed anyone to make a wealth of great breads, cookies, cakes, pastries, and savory dishes as well just like the pros do. Over the years the Kitchenaid 5 quart mixer has become the standard counter top stand mixer for the restaurant industry. Certainly restaurants and bakeries in particular use very large mixers also but for smooth deserts, small batches of pastas and fresh whipped cream a restaurant relies on the white Kitchenaid mixer sitting on the counter.
