Ankarsrum Assistent Original Mixer - Nordic Sage (Matte Finish)

The Ankarsrum Assistent Original in Nordic Sage (Matte) is a masterclass in Swedish mechanical engineering, designed for high-volume bread production and heavy dough applications. Unlike traditional planetary mixers where the attachment moves around a stationary bowl, the Ankarsrum utilizes a rotating bowl and a stationary arm. This design—derived from industrial spiral mixers—allows the 600-watt motor to provide massive torque directly to the dough, eliminating the gear-strain and overheating common in overhead-drive machines.

The unique combination of the dough roller and scraper replicates the tactile motion of hand-kneading, ensuring superior gluten development in high-hydration sourdoughs and heavy rye doughs. The open-bowl design provides unobstructed access for monitoring hydration and adding inclusions like seeds or fruit without stopping the motor. Finished in a sophisticated matte Nordic Sage, this mixer handles up to 11 lbs (5 kg) of dough in the 7L stainless steel bowl, while the secondary 3.5L Tritan® bowl and dual balloon whisks provide precision for delicate meringues and high-speed aerating.
