Can anyone comment on the performance of this C shaped dough hook versus the KitchenAid Spiral Dough Hooks?

If you are making breads, this dough hook is perfect for kneading dough. It is the only one I use. I have no comparison to a spiral hook.

I purchased this item pictured and received something different. I received a spiral kneader instead of the "C" hook pictured.

Never used the spiral hook. I have used this type to make a ton of bread dough and it always works great.

Ours came with the spiral dough hook and my wife bakes over 50 loaves a week for farmers markets and she has never complained and that is saying something. Although I have wondered the same thing and would like to know the pro's and con's of the spiral VS the C hook.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I learned the hard way...it will NOT fit. It's made for a lift-bowl model only. I have not found any spiral dough hooks to fit the KSM 150.

I found a hand mixer in the local store for which the dough hooks were listed as compatible, and I took the dough hooks from MY mixer and inserted them into the local store mixer to confirm that they would fit. That is how I determined that the dough hooks would fit my specific mixer, which was not listed as a compatible option.

It does not say that it would. I found this web site http://www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchen-aid-dough-hook.html and that one does fit your mixer.

I wouldn't recommend it for heavy doughs. I would use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer for that.

I want to second what R. Mercer said. You definitely want one of the longer rolling pins for these. The dough has to fit between the bands so if you have a short 12inch pin you'll be limited to rolling out a sheet of dough that's at best 11 inches wide and probably less. I use a 19 inch rolling pin and I still sometimes feel constrained by the bands.

Most definitely. It's an excellent product that's perfect for rolling out dough, etc. Love it!

I have not had any trouble with this mixer in any kind of dough. I find the thin blades makes it easier to use in thicker dough.Have made lots of cookies with this blender, does anything I have used it for, simple love it.

Hello! Is your rolling pin about the same circumference as a regular-sized pin? If so, then the bands will fit the pin fine. Keep in mind that with the bands on each end of the rolling pin, the actual work area of the dough will now be under that 4 inches. (Because the bands take up space on either side of the pin.) Hope this helps. I have really liked mine in keeping the dough an even thickness.

I generally do not use this paddle for anything stiffer than the standard "Creaming Method." It works well for that, but I can't speak about a tough dough. Just make sure the paddle, like any KitchenAid accessory, has been properly adjusted for bowl height (See your KitchenAid manual for procedure or the online manual you can print out.)

I've used the Bosch twice for single cake batches, both came out well using the wire whip mix attachment. Mostly use the mixer for small and large bread recipes. One nice thing about this mixer regardless of the recipe is the weight...it's so much easier to handle than than the KA mixers.

Correction to my last remark .It does not come with a dough hook .also I sent it back because the top cover is hard to remove .I bought a kitchenaid it is better than the black and decker

I have made pizza dough and bread with great results. I suppose it all depends on the receipe you use. My suggestion would be to visit their website or better yet call and ask them specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.
