- Which mixers does the K45WW fit?
- It fits KitchenAid tilt-head stand mixers with 4.5- and 5-quart bowls. It does not fit bowl-lift mixers or the 6-quart and larger models.
- Is it the same whip that comes with the mixer?
- Yes. It is the standard wire whip supplied with most 4.5- and 5-quart tilt-head models, so it works as a spare or replacement.
- Can I use it for cookie dough or bread?
- No. Use the flat beater for cookie dough and the dough hook for bread. The wire whip is for cream, egg whites and thin batters.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes. KitchenAid rates the stainless-steel whip for the dishwasher, though hand washing keeps the wires straight longer.
- How is it different from the flat beater?
- The whip adds air, which is what you want for cream and egg whites. The flat beater creams butter and sugar and mixes denser batters.
