Kraftsman KM50 Stand Mixer (5.3 Quart)

Important Note on Stand Mixers

When I’m choosing a stand mixer, I focus on the components that actually touch the food during mixing. My priority is a stainless steel bowl and stainless steel attachments that are uncoated. I try to avoid aluminum and any coatings or treated finishes on parts that come into direct contact with doughs and batters.

Product Description

The Kraftsman KM50 is a 5.3-quart tilt-head stand mixer designed for everyday baking tasks like batters, cookie dough, and bread dough. The listing states it includes a stainless steel mixing bowl and stainless steel attachments with no coatings.

It’s a practical mid-size option for home kitchens that want a stand mixer without moving into large commercial capacity.

What I Like

I like that the food-contact setup is positioned as stainless steel without coatings, including the bowl and the main attachments. If you’re trying to avoid coated beaters that can wear over time, this is the kind of detail I look for.

The size feels well-suited for regular home baking while still offering enough capacity for dough and larger mixes.

Things to Keep in Mind

The body of the mixer is made from a die-cast aluminum alloy. This is not a food-contact surface, but it’s worth noting if you’re trying to keep all kitchen equipment materials consistent.

The splash guard included with this mixer is typically a plastic component. If that matters to you, it can be treated as optional.
