My Cooking Life is COMPLETE !

.  We remodeled our kitchen a couple years ago....with everything we thought we wanted...built in coffee machine...tons of storage., huge walk in pantry with outlets..monster island with cooktop, pull out sheves, warming drawer.... later added a beverage refrigerator with Bamboo Kitchencutting board top....ahhh....life is good...we LOVE to cook.  We are not the collectors of all things appliance and prefer to keep that simple...kitchen aid standing mixer and blender...hand cutting, shaping, carving accessories. Life is good...But....could it be better...one more thing.... Kitchen Aid makes a more than durable standing mixer... people have been known to pass them on for generations with no repairs...we have all the attachments and it is invaluable in our kitchen. The only issue is that while it has its place in the pantry...there are plugs in the pantry...I don't want to cook ...make that mix in the pantry.! this dead weight hasorsometimes meantmixer in cabinettrips to the chiropractor, acupuncturist  massage just not bending/lifting correctly. SOoooo since I use it frequently and David is not always home to move it...we had to find a solution....and Hanson Claus and his Elf Engineer did just that. The final bamboo wood mounting shelf is on order from our millwork supplier.

     Life is GOOD...Better ...Now BEST ...here is my valuable mixer tucked away under the island on it's temporary board. Happily awaiting the next assignment of soup...or dessert confection.

     With "gentle prodding" the hinge allows the mixer to swing up to counter top height without injury to body parts !  Yaaah !!!!!

Mixer counter height Easy to use....love, lovel, love it...who would think a piece of hardware could be soooo wonderful !

If you aren't using your mixer because it is too heavy...takes up too much room...we encourage you to investigate the installation of this ohhhh soooo wonderful hinge/slide that delights my heart and makes our kitchen so much easier to mix things up !

So what are we making next??? I have to admit, everytime I lift my mixer up on to the countertop, I wish I had that thing you built.

Morning Sally.

I remember my mother having one of those.  Don't know what happened to it, but I wish I had kept it

I like the swing-out mixer!  Almost as smart as a dumbwaiter, which, if you ever saw the one at Jefferson's Monticello you'd be impressed!  Maybe you could call yours a dumbmixer!

That is funnier than you know Jay Markanich . When we were designing our house which has our office and rec room,  another kitchen,bed and bath on the lower level,we were going to put in a dumb waiter ....then it occured to me...I would be the dumb waitress...didn't happen !

Now that is one smart idea.  I wish I had the room in my kitchen to make one for my wife.

Our island has storage underneath it and between the pantry and cabinetry, we had more than enough to "sacrifice" this space for the mixer....and my back !  I was soooo set on this...I would have re-done the kitchen (again) Shhhh...to get it to happen Gabe Sanders

Mr. Jefferson's dumbwaiter is most impressive!  He called it that because it delivered wine and he didn't have to speak to a servant.  The bottle magically showed up from the wine cellar below.

You would only be a dumbwaitress if you didn't speak!
