Tips for Best Results
- Add the dough liquid first, even when using dry yeast, then the yeast, then the flour together with any seasoning.
- Keep the dough knife in place with either the dough hook or the dough roller; Ankarsrum advises using it every time.
- Choose the dough hook for large, heavy doughs, and the dough roller for smaller doughs, bun doughs, and doughs with butter.

When We Recommend the Black Diamond Ankarsrum Assistent Original
Who it Fits Best
Passionate home bakers, and anyone producing bread at volume, who want a mixer that stays steady when the dough is dense, wet, or simply heavy.
Where it Excels
Demanding doughs like sourdough, rye, and big yeasted batches, where a rotating bowl and a motor set low in the base keep the machine from creeping.
Professional Comparisons
America’s Test Kitchen selected the Ankarsrum Assistent Original as the winner of its stand mixer review, ranking it above the KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl-Lift, Bosch Universal Plus, Breville the Bakery Chef, Cuisinart Precision Master, and others. A key factor was kneading speed: KitchenAid advises staying at or below speed 2 when kneading dough with the dough hook, and the review reports no such restriction for the Ankarsrum. Its testing used the previous Basic Package.
Chef Feedback
“This is the mixer Chef David uses in his own kitchen. The ingredients need to be added in a different order than is typical, so there’s an adjustment period when learning to use the machine, but the improved performance is well worth the extra effort.”
Trade-offs & Considerations
The sequence for adding ingredients is unlike most mixers, so plan on a learning curve during the first few bakes. Helpful videos are widely available to smooth it out. The machine is also big, and its accessories need storage room.
