Grand Prize – Bosch Universal Plus Mixer with Baker's Attachment Set

Uniquely designed with the motor beneath the bowl and suction feet to keep it stable while mixing, this powerhouse appliance features four speed options and a pulse option for mixing, blending, and combining ingredients to your recipe’s exact preference. This mixer comes with dual wire whips that allow you to whip hefty batches of cream and as little as one egg white at a time, a stainless steel heavy-duty dough hook that’s designed to mimic the motions of hand-kneading to stretch, tuck, & fold the dough for maximum gluten development, and a bowl cover that can be used while the mixer is running to keep dry & wet ingredients from splashing out of the bowl. $600 value
