Description
The Ankarsrum Original Kitchen Machine (formerly known as
Verona, Magic Mill, Electrolux Assistent, DLX), a favorite mixer of Swedish
cooks since 1940, is now available for North American homeowners. Fashioned
from sturdy chrome and steel, this 600 watt professional quality kitchen tool
is a durable all-purpose mixer that produces superior baking results. A
variety of optional attachments transforms the Ankarsrum Original into a
complete kitchen center, eliminating the need for a separate food processor,
meat grinder, or slicer. The Ankarsrum Original offers professional
functionality and versatility in one convenient countertop tool. THE
CENTERPIECE OF THE KITCHEN TODAY & TOMORROW Mix and knead your bread dough,
cookie dough, cake batter and just about any other baked good, with the
Ankarsrum Original stand mixer. This one of a kind mixer features a stainless
steel bowl and carbon steel base with a Matte finish in Royal Blue. Machine
includes a 7 liter Stainless Steel mixing bowl, dough roller, dough knife,
dough scraper, dough hook and dust cover lid (perfect for allowing dough to
rise in the bowl). The large stainless steel mixing bowl has an astounding
capacity of 21 cups of flour and a unique revolving design. As the bowl turns,
the deeply fluted roller acts as your fingers, with the scraper mimicking the
palm of your hand. The scraper folds the dough with a rhythmic motion while
the roller provides a powerful massaging action. These mixing attachments are
gentle enough for gluten free batters and perfect for higher hydration dough.
The sturdy dough hook is designed for dryer, heavier doughs and kneads by
stretching, pulling, and folding the dough around the hook as the bowl turns.
The unit also includes a 3.5 liter Double Beater Bowl made from BPA/BPS FREE
Tritan plastic, a durable plastic that is safe to use with boiling sugar syrup
and will not leave a fatty residue after whipping cream. Includes a set of
multi-wire balloon whisks, perfect for cream, egg whites, meringue,
marshmallows and any other light batter you wish to whip and aerate. Also
included, is a set of single-wire whips, designed for light batters and soft
cookie dough. Room temperature butter or cream cheese should always be used
with the beater assemblies. The speed control knob allows for a seamless
transition from 45 to 130 RPM, and the electronic speed sensor automatically
adjusts motor torque to the load. The On/Off knob is also a 12 minute timer,
so it will do its work while you do other tasks, stopping when you want it to.
The control panel is angled for comfortable use, and the large timer and speed
controls are attractive and easy to read. SWEDISH QUALITY SINCE 1940 The gold

About Ankarsrum In 1940, the Assistent was launched by Swedish white goods
manufacturer Electrolux. The Second World War meant that Swedish households
were forced to review their expenses, with families baking, cooking food,
making jams and syrups and preserving food much more than they had previously.
All that needed a robust, reliable kitchen assistant. A striking sign of the
spirit of those times is the collection of "crisis recipes" that accompanied
each machine during the first few years. The streamlined design, typical of
its time, came from the mind of industrial designer Alvar Lenning. The motor
was 250 W at that time, and the machine was beige in color. Sales went well,
and over time this kitchen assistant became a common sight in Swedish
kitchens. In 1969, production moved from the Electrolux factory in Motala to
Ankarsrum, where all the aluminum components, such as the arm, the arm
attachment, the upper stand and the mincer and its parts, as well as the
electrical motor, are all still cast, processed and assembled today. Since its
initial launch, the Ankarsrum Original has been developed and improved in a
number of areas, and the number of accessories has been expanded, although the
basic construction and the original concept of a robust, dependable and easy-
to-use kitchen assistant for private and professional use remains. The
Ankarsrum Original has been voted "Best in test" in various tests on numerous
occasions. That spurs us on to be even better. Proof that we have succeeded
can be seen in the positive reception we have received for our latest colorful
model from the mass media, retailers and users.
