After watching it a
Since I'm that kind of mom, I went out and bought him one on sale for $299.95 right away.
Uh, yeah, right. Actually, I tried very hard to convince him that he couldn't have one of those until he was much older, but we would see what we could do. Well, my mom, being the awesome grandma that she is, went searching for just the right mixer. This is what she found:
You have to admit, it looks pretty close to a Kitchen Aid, or at least to a real mixer. The mixer promises to even be able to mix pancakes, eggs, or pudding. Today we decided to try it out for "real." Jackson decided he wanted to make scrambled eggs for breakfast (one of his favorites). Five eggs in the mixer seemed to overwork it a bit, and the whisk and the paddle both just seemed to push the eggs around without scrambling them because the mixture was too thick. This tells me that next time we need to either scramble one egg at a time or use the hand-crank, OR that the option needs to be changed from "eggs, pancakes, or pudding?", to "egg?"
Despite trying very hard to look mean, menacing, and annoyed, the chef really is very cute (in my very unbiased, motherly opinion):
What a cool looking Mixer! Yeah, I'd guess it only handles one or two eggs at the most. But still, that is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI like picture number 2 and number 4! Hurray for cooks of any age!!
That is fantastic!!! I love to cook and cherish the memories I have of "helping" my mom in the kitchen. I am a big proponent of kids learning about food it builds a lifelong appreciation for where food comes from (crops, farmers), the people who prepare it (chefs, grandma, dad), and to be grateful for it! Plus he looks ridiculously handsome with that hat on :)
