Pouring Chute Accessory for Stand Mixer Mixing Bowl Reviewed

I love my Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer! It was a gift many years ago from my daughter and her husband. Prior to that time, I had never owned a stand mixer and I was most grateful to receive the gift. It is a real workhorse. I've only had one issue with it and I suspect it is a common issue for any stand mixer. It is hard to slowly add flour, eggs, milk, etc to batter when the mixer is mixing.

Because the "planetary mixing action rotates the beaters" around the stainless steel bowl instead of only mixing in the center of the bowl, I found myself waiting for the beater to get to the back of the bowl before I added ingredients while mixing. It was perfect when my timing was right, but would splatter me if I missed that optimum moment.

I went in search of a solution and found a universal chute accessory that fits my standard size 3.5 quart stainless steel mixing bowl. It works like magic! I can easily add ingredients at any time during the mixer rotation without having flour, eggs, or milk tossed back at me.

Sometimes, the simplest things are just so cool and exactly what is needed!

Stand Mixer Mixing Bowl Chute

New Metro Design Pouring Chute Accessory, Fits Most Metal Stand Mixer Bowls, Baking is a Work of Heart

The chute that I found years ago was made of a hard plastic and works great, but I am always afraid it will break at the cut-out slot where it fits onto the bowl. That is the only reason I have not recommended it in the past. However, I recently discovered a stainless steel mixing bowl chute and was thrilled to get this inexpensive upgrade. Plus, I love the baking quote options engraved on the side.

I opted for the engraved quote: Baking is a work of Love. The word love is not there. It is replaced with two hearts as you can see in the photo. That slogan expresses what I have always believed. Baking and cooking for my family is definitely a work of love. I've even commented many times that my grandmother's or my mother's special ingredient in a recipe was love. Without the love, the food just doesn't taste as good.

I have noted that many of the newer stand mixer models include a pouring chute, but those don't have the sentimental slogan. Therefore, I think a new pouring chute would make a lovely gift for the baker in your life too.
