KitchenAid 4.5QT & 5QT Stainless Steel Spiral Dough Hook Replacement for Bowl Tilt Head Stand Mixer, Rust Proof & Easy to Clean, Efficient Kneading of Bread, Pizza, Pasta, Cookies

The dough hook that comes with the stand mixer is a safety hazard since the coating can peel and chip after repeated use. This attachment is a major upgrade. You can use with peace of mind due to the stainless steel construction. Very durable. I make dough multiple times a week and it still looks like it did the day I received it.

Amazing

I have an enamel coated dough hook that was beginning to chip, and had concerns about the coating ending up in food. Lots of nasty stuff can happen. This one is a very solid feeling piece of steel. I can't tell if it's just one piece, or if there's welds. I think it's just one piece, which I think is good for longevity and strength. It does weigh SIGNIFICANTLY more than the original dough hook. The enamel one is 142g. This steel one is a double at a whopping 281g. I have to think that amount of weight is going to mean more wear on the motor, and also it'll be significantly scarier if something drops into the mixing bowl while it's going (stainless WHACK!).

Der Knethaken vermischt alle Zutaten gründlich und fix, was der Original Knethaken von KitchenAid nicht tut, da er keine Spiralwindung hat. Ich habe ihn sogar ein zweites Mal gekauft und verschenkt.

I did my first batch of Artisan dough weighing 600g. Unlike the original KitchenAid dough hook, this stainless steel dough hook performed exceptionally and the dough did not creep up the hook. I have a 4.8 Litre Tilt head KitchenAid. Works better than the original. I have read that some experienced the dough sticking into the cavity where the hook attaches to the machine spindle. I did not experience that. Perhaps because I worked with a smaller batch of dough.

Great for dough, the lack of a painted finish means no concern about chipping. Fits onto the KitchenAid perfectly and easily. Unlike the standard dough hook, this doesn’t cause the dough to climb up the attachment, so everything mixes better and stays in the bottom of the mixer. Functions far better than the standard dough hook.

Beautiful attachment, great functionality. This is superior to the KitchenAid C-hook from what I've seen so far, which is admittedly only making tortilla dough, but I just got this yesterday. What I make the most is potato bread, a decidedly stickier dough, and I will update this if the spiral hook does any less than awesome on that. Was really impressed with the hook's action though, which pushed the dough into the bottom of the mixing bowl rather than flinging it all around the sides. Seemed much more efficient. No dough crept up the hook, and there was nothing to scrape down the sides. The bowl came out almost perfectly clean. The polished stainless looks great, and matches the new attachment hub cover I got for my KA. Planning to get the matching pastry paddle.
