The Professional 5 Plus has a powerful 450-watt motor that delivers enough power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mixes large batches easily. This special bowl lift model has brackets on the bowl that fit over support pins on the stand mixer, which is than lifted up by a handle on the right side of the mixer to lock the bowl in place while mixing (this design is made to handle heavy mixtures and large recipes). The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable. This mixer also features a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise, moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This distinctive mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl. 10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job, from very high to a very slow stir. The flat beater, dough hook, and professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. In addition, the Soft Start mixing feature helps prevent ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at startup, while "Overload Reset" helps eliminate overheating of the motor. A hinged hub cover flips up, allowing easy installation of attachments and never leaves the mixer. Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

How to Make the Best Homemade Lemon Meringue Pie

!±8± How to Make the Best Homemade Lemon Meringue Pie

Now who doesn't love lemon meringue pie - yes many of us might of had some if we went to the diner - but that is not necessarily the real deal. If you want to know how to make a great lemon meringue pie that is quick, affordable and always works - this is the recipe for you! So what are we waiting for, let me get typing!

I have seen a lot of versions out there, but a recipe that doesn't use lemon zest to me is really not a real lemon meringue pie - the added zest and fresh lemon juice with a little pulp really makes this pie truly tart and sweet simultaneously and after making few of these great pies you will see there really is no effort at all to making fantastic great authentic lemon meringue pie just like your grandmother used to bake for special occasions.

I used to sell these at a restaurant I used to work in - I would go through 2 pies a night - we would never sell the pre-made stuff we bought from commercial bakeries no matter how hard we tried...this pie really is that good.

Ingredients:

1 baked pie shell cooled

3 large eggs separated (easier when done while eggs are still cold)

6 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups water

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

4 teaspoons grated lemon rind

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice with some pulp

1 cup white sugar for lemon filling

1 teaspoon pure lemon extract

***for meringue:

6 tablespoons of Super Fine white sugar for meringue

dash of salt for meringue

1/4 teaspoon of cream of tarter - to stabilize egg whites

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for meringue

Equipment Needed:

Double boiler, mix master such as kitchen aid or hand mixer, whisk\

Directions:

To double boiler add all of the following: cornstarch, salt, 1/2 cup of the white sugar, mix till combined then add water and stir. Cook over boiling water until thick stirring constantly. Then cover with lid and let cook for ten minutes. Combine egg yolks and rest of sugar into a bowl - stir till combined and add a little of the hot mixture to the egg yolks to temper them. Then add egg yolks to hot mixture and stir. Turn off heat yet stir mixture for 2 minutes. Remove double boiler from hot water, and place on trivet or counter where it is safe. While still hot, stir in butter, lemon rind, lemon juice and pure lemon extract. Let cool to room temperature - without stirring and NEVER cool in fridge! Keep lid off so that steam can escape. Once cooled, pour into baked pie shell and cover with meringue. Make sure all lemon filling mixture is completely covered with the meringue - and place on the middle rack of your oven about 15 minutes at 325 degrees or until the meringue is lightly browned. You can keep the pie in a cool dry spot away from prying eyes, hands and paws until you are ready to serve it up that night.

To Make Meringue:
Make sure your bowl, beaters are super clean void of any grease from previous uses. Add egg whites to bowl and start to beat. Once eggs have started to be white and frothy, add sugar gradually. You might want to keep beating speed on medium or medium low so that your egg whites can dissolve the sugar. This is an imperative step that will help prevent your meringue from 'weeping' later on in the day as it sits for getting ready to be eaten. For those of us that have kitchen aids - note, this process can be quicker than we realize being that these sort of mixers are super quick. So it is ok to beat slowly at first, so that the sugar has had the time to dissolve in the egg whites. Continue beating until smooth and add vanilla extract. To ensure all sugar has been dissolved, put a little on your fingers and rub them (as if you were making a snap) if you feel any bits of sugar, you will need to keep beating until smooth - so be careful not to over beat your meringue - which is why I suggested to beat at a medium speed. Once meringue is shiny and peaks form, your ready to top your pie.

Now that you know how to make lemon meringue pie, be forewarned, you will wish you had made two pies instead of the just one. You can keep leftovers (should there be any) in the refrigerator. The real tricks are making sure the sugar has completely dissolved when making the mergingue as well as covering the filling completely with the meringue making to that you create a 'seal' with the meringue. Also it is very easy to cut the pie by using a knife you have rinsed under hot water. And let me know and tell me all about the oohs and ahs you receive when your friends and family taste your next perfect pie perfection!

Equipping the Homestead - Homesteading Supplies for the Kitchen

!±8± Equipping the Homestead - Homesteading Supplies for the Kitchen

If you're just getting started building a homestead, there are some homesteading supplies for the kitchen you may want to put on your list. Just like in any kitchen, plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery, a knife set et al are still going to be used. But there are some additional items that are used in the process of cooking and food storage that you will find valuable. Some of the items you may already have and use, and some you may not.

For cooking and baking, having non electric hand tools will be invaluable in the event of power outage. Some hand tools for your list are a can opener, hand beater (think egg beater), grain mill (useful for coffee as well as grains), manual meat grinder, juicer, rolling pin, grater, potato masher, strainer, wire whisk, non-electric yogurt maker, bread toaster, knife sharpener, potato peeler, nut chopper, garlic press, and a flour sifter. This is not an inclusive list, but will get you started.

Having the ability to prepare and cook your own food under any circumstances is invaluable. Containers for cooking that will last and be usable with or without electricity would include, but not be limited to, cast iron pots and pans, a dutch oven, a solar oven, a stock pot, crockery or enamel ware, stainless steel and ceramic bowls, a roasting pan, cooling racks, broiler pan, cast iron teapot, and a stove top coffee percolator.

Preserving the food you have, especially from your own garden, is a critical element to homesteading and one for which there are more homesteading supplies needed. One way to preserve food is to dehydrate it. A good electric dehydrator will help you preserve a lot of food fairly quickly, but it would also be wise to have a non electric dehydration method just in case. Canning is another excellent way to preserve the bounty of your garden. There are two basic method for canning, water bath and pressure. A pressure cooker/canner is an essential element to canning and is necessary for low acid foods and meats. If you had to only have one way to can, pressure canning would be it since you are able to can all kinds of food in a pressure canner.

A water bath canner is also good, it is inexpensive and useful, just cannot be used for all types of canning. Aside from a pressure canner and a water bath canner additional canning supplies include jars, lids, jar top funnels, cooling racks, jar tongs, and a pressure gauge.

As mentioned, it is entirely possible that you already have some of these items, but making yourself a shopping list would be a good step to fully equipping your homestead kitchen.
