Dough Hook Replacement for kitchenaid stand mixer, Aikeec Stainless Steel K45DH Dough Hook for Kitchen Aid K45 K45SS KSM75 KSM90 KSM95 KSM100 KSM103 KSM110 KSM150 Stand Mixers

I wish I had found out about this product sooner. A normal dough hook on a KitchenAid is practically useless. The dough wants to ride up into the bottom of the mixer and you have to be holding a Implement of some sort to force the dough down. With this dough hook the dough is forced to the bottom of the bowl and it makes it much easier to knead dough.

Excellent product .. don’t waste your time buying ceramic ones they crack. Steel is more expensive but you only have to buy it once.

Perfect item work really well

When kneading a smaller amount in my KitchenAid mixer, I like to use this spiral dough hook, especially with the 4.5 qt bowl. Because it tends to use the bowl's bottom to knead, rather than exclusively the side. It works especially well for 1-1.5 lbs of dough (454g-680g). With more dough, and the 5 qt bowl, I still prefer the conventional hook, depending upon the dough characteristics.When it rotates, it splits a section off to the side and rolls and slaps it, then, ultimately, re-incorporates it into the mass. This is different than the conventional hook which rolls dough mostly against the side until it balls up on the hook upon finish. I still use both, but this one has its niche for less dough.I originally disliked the paddle thingy at the bottom, but realized it assists with mixing when dry flour/meal rests at the bottom of the bowl, so long as water is added, it assists in picking it up. The stainless steel is also robust and more easy to clean. I'm happy with the hook in general.

My aunt was very happy exactly what she wanted.
