Thank you Butter Yum for this additional information "KitchenAid, the company that makes the stand mixers, does NOT make or recommend this product, stating that your warranty will be void if you use it" You can wait till your warranty on your mixer ends then use it or take the risk as I did.
Since I have become a bit burned out on food blogging, although I am still creating and cooking up a storm, I decided I would share some of my favorite gadgets with you all on Thursdays.
I do have a thing for gadgets, and a huge drawer full of them, as well as stashed all over my kitchen. My most recent purchase was this little dreamboat of a gadget, the Kitchenaide Beater Blade. I have to say it has become one of my favorite gadgets. It gets into all of your bowl and scrapes the sides, no more doing that manually. It ranges in price from $22 to $28 dollars and it was money very well spent!
Here is what Kitchenaide says about it..........
"This is really a great idea, the best idea in mixing we've seen in years and years. The patented, new BeaterBlade + (plus) employes a "wing-system" design, much like the wiper blades on a car, to continuously scrape the sides and bottom of your mixer bowl while it's mixing. Amazingly enough, this design can cut mixing time by up to 50%!
A BeaterBlade + replaces your mixer's current blade to thoroughly incorporate ingredients, virtually eliminate hand-scraping of the bowl and do away with batter build-up on the blade.
It's the most revolutionary advance in stand mixers in years and years.The soft, flexible, silicone "wings" fully scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, even the "dimple" at the bottom, cutting mixing times for a cheesecake from 13 minutes to 7 minutes, and for banana bread from 12 minutes to 6 minutes. You get consistent, foolproof results in less time with less effort"

Ok, I heading to buy one right now. I hate when the bottom of the bowl does not mix.
I saw that on TV a few months ago. It looks like an awesome idea! I need to find one. Thanks for sharing about it. :-)
on my wish list
I need one of those. What a great find Cheryl.
I'm so glad to see you post about the BeaterBlade - I have one for each mixer and absolutely love them.
You should clarify your info above. I don't know who Kitchenaide is, but KitchenAid, the company that makes the stand mixers, does NOT make or recommend this product, stating that your warranty will be void if you use it.
With that being said, I love it and would suggest it for anyone who hates scraping the bowl of your stand mixer. If you're worried about voiding the warranty of your brand new stand mixer, just wait until your short warranty period expires. Then run to the store and treat yourself to a BeaterBlade. Honestly, I really, really love this product!

I bought this last year, and I absolutely love it! If you look at my photos, when I make batter, you can see I use it. I will never use that metal thingie again, that came with my Kitchen Aid. Just love it!
Its about time! So excited about this - putting on the must buy list!
I think Kitchen Aid revolutionary paddle is on my shopping list. Thanks for sharing this with all of your foodie friends.
I found this last year in Cook's catalog and my hubby bought it for me for Christmas last year. I absolutely love it. It does make a strange squeeky noise when you start it up due to the sugar crystal scraping against the metal bowl, but that only lasts about 2-3 seconds. My KitchenAid is 20 years old, so I'm pretty sure my warranty ran out years ago!
I'm a kitchen gadget junkie too. My hubby thinks I need a 12 step program. I say he needs to hire someone to build onto our kitchen :)
I have heard great things about the beater blade. I would love to have one. I like how "they" added an "e" to KitchenAid to avoid getting in trouble.
i want one of these so bad, it looks like it would save a lot of time and effort!
I need this! My only gripe with my KA mixer is that the attachments don't go anywhere near the bottom or sides to be able to scrape...
Void your warranty? How would they know you used it?
Sounds like a great idea to me!
I love it.. Ill have to look for it.. somehow the description almost sounds erotic;)
I hear you on the burned out issue..
A-freakin-mazing!
