Could the mixer be used to actually mix ingredients for her easy bake oven? And could we for example put yoghurt in the blender to simulate "real cooking"?

Correction! Actually I got curious last night and played with this for a while. The coffe maker does circulate water. The blender is water proof and twirls water. Looks pretty cool. Yet I'd be concerned about water getting into the motor. Not sure if it would be strong enough for joghurt, but definitely not for baking ingredients. The mixer might be strong enough to mix joghurt. I'd be more concerned how to clean the little cracks and spaces making sure the toys stay sanitary for your kids. I won't tell my daughter to use anything else but toy food for now;) Overall this is one of the best and most used toys for the past year! Correction!

I'm not sure! this blender is amazing but don't know if you can make something like that with it

Yes! I used my hand mixer with no problem. I made a specialty cake, very thick and rich so the batter was almost like bread dough. Both the bowl and the mixer had a workout. Feel free to go for it the bowl will handle it~

The mixer will work for lower volume dough but not as well because it is designed for large batches. I used it to make pizza dough, only using a total of 4 c. My experience is it just takes a bit more time to get the dough thoroughly mixed before it really starts kneading it. Hope this helps.

It is not a blender or mixer in the same respect as the kitchen appliances. This mixer is only for liquids. You can scramble raw eggs in it, protein drinks, lemonaid etc. Lighter liquids; for instance you cant make an Ice cream shake in it; the ice cream is too thick, or you cant put in fresh fruit and expect it to blend or chop it up. Keep to the lighter liquids and its just great.The

This mixer is not designed for kneading dough, however, it can be used for easy mixing of dough, eggs, cream, mayonnaise and formixing or stirring sauces and pudding powders.

That's an excellent question. I had no prior experience with a stand mixer, so was surprised how fast the slow/low speed was . . . however, it serves great. There are some cakes I still choose to mix by hand, because overmixing will 'toughen' the end result. But for bread, this is unbeatable!!

It says you can. I have never tried using it for baking. For roasting and slow cooking it is terrific.

In looking at the instruction book...you apparently can mix bread but need the optioinal DOUGH HOOKS "with this the Hand Mixer can also knead yeast bread doughs". I don't have this part.

You can try. The temp control is very unstable and ended up baking or under heating 2 batches before we have up on this unit. Total waste of $$$!

Salsa, soup, and green drinks should not be a problem. Nut butter would be a challenge without adding a lot of oil to smooth out the mixture and working in small batches. A food processor would probably be a better choice. I have not tried to make dough, but it doesn't seem realistic. The blades would not be an appropriate tool. A stand mixer with a dough attachment would be a better choice.

Absolutely! I use mine all the time. I love to bake so it really gets a workout. Enjoy.

This mixer is basically used for various baking products. Bread, cakes, cookies etc

Why not? Its just a blender top that uses the motor of the mixer instead of having a separate motor. It is much sturdier than the Oster Kitchen Center I replaced it with. I chop nuts in a food processor. They work better than a blender I think for nuts chopping nuts.

yes. There are two discs that come with the machine, one for foam and one for mixing. You would use the mixing disc, and put all the ingredients in, and turn it on.

This is a pasta maker atachment, that snaps into the kitchen aid mixing head.You might be able to use it for pie dough, but the mixer itself does such a good job mixing any kind of dough you put into it,I dont know why you want to use anything else.

No not unless they've improved the model. Honestly my daughter hated hers. The recipe's make like 8 cookies the size of a quarter! I suggest buying a real MINI muffin pan and let her make them that way. You have to help either way. Might as well save yourself tons of money and get a product that makes food for humans. Its been a couple years since we got her one but this year she even wrote on her list "not an easy bake oven" :(
