My favorite “stand mixer” is a Kenwood Chef – I don’t know if you can find them in the US but they are a very popular brand here in the UK. I first saw one in use when my mother bought one, probably 50 or so years ago. In those days, she used to have someone come to the house every year to service the machine, cleaning out the workings and putting in fresh grease to keep it running smoothly. Her first machine worked for years and years, so although it was an expensive purchase, it really earned its keep.

She would make cup cakes for our evening meal – great idea, although she had to hide them before Dad came home or he would eat them hot out of the oven!

Anyway, like I say, thanks for the toothbrush tip – it will help me deal with some areas in my own Kenwood Chef machine.
