They just don't go together!!! Instead of me reading the directions all the way through, I used my handmixer for the MMF. If I would have read ALL of the directions, I would have seen that if you only have a hand mixer, USE YOUR HANDS instead of the hand mixer!!!

Well, needless to say, my handmixer is dead!!!

aww i'm so sorry to hear about your mixer. I guess its kinda like royal and a hand mixer. i do the easy mmf recipe and i start out mixing with a spoon and when i cant do that any longer i get in there with my clean hands. always works.

The good thing about the mixer breaking is that I have an excuse to get me the KA!!!!

(Going to be hard to convince my husband, though!!)

I feel for you!!!
I did the same thing with an old mixer I had.
The MMF is strong stuff!!!!!
I made some MMF yesterday and the KA did a fine job handeling the task!

Audron: Make sure you check out Ebay for the KA mixer too! Sometimes they have some awesome deals on them. Make sure you are getting a brand new one though, and not a refurbished one. Unless you are okay with purchasing a refurb one.

I just get my hands in there to do the work. It makes you feel like you're in Kindergarten all over again!

I use my hand mixer all the time for MMF and it works perfectly........I use the dough hook attatchments though...but it's a cheap GE hand mixer with a hard plastic case and wisks, dough hooks, and the regular beaters.......I got it for like 15 bucks at Wal-Mart.......I've made MMF at least 20 times with it and it's going strong!!
