Commercial stand mixers are larger versions of home mixers used to produce large quantities of dough for baking. They can hold hundreds of gallons of ingredients and cost thousands of dollars, but save time for bakers. Attachments are available for various uses.
A commercial stand mixer is a piece of baking equipment that allows bakers to produce dough for baking in large quantities. These mixers are similar to the smaller mixers that are readily available for home kitchens, except they are much larger. The commercial food processor is an important part of any commercial oven, as it allows the baker or bakers to add large quantities of ingredients such as flour, eggs and water to make a large amount of dough in one batch. This dough is usually used to make fresh donuts, breads and pastries.
The smallest mixers available for home kitchens usually sit on a counter, table or cabinet and allow a home baker to achieve results similar to a commercial mixer. These home blenders typically have a much lower bowl capacity, with higher-end models typically capable of holding about 6 quarts (5.67 L) in the bowl. Commercial mixers are typically found on the ground and are easily 6 feet (1.82 meters) to over 8 feet (2.43 meters) tall. A commercial mixer can hold hundreds of gallons (hundreds of litres) in its bowl.
Even the biggest commercial stand mixers cost a lot more than the cutest home stand mixer. High-end home mixers usually cost around $400-$500 US Dollars (USD) with more moderate home models available for as little as $100-$200 USD. A commercial mixer, however, can typically cost thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. While this may seem like a large amount of money, the investment is offset by the time it saves a bakery to have such a dough-making machine while the bakers can work on other tasks at the same time. While a baker still has to form the worked dough into loaves or other shapes, this process can be automated and made faster in any situation by a baker who doesn’t have to mix the dough by hand.
A commercial stand mixer typically also has a number of attachments available for use with the stand mixer. These can be dough hooks that help mimic the motion of pulling and rolling out yeast dough, which is especially useful for making pizza dough, or meat grinders that allow you to use a mixer to grind up large chunks of meat for other uses. Such accessories are particularly useful in a bakery that may wish to serve savory desserts such as meat-filled potato chips.
