Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer | Light Crème 7-Liter Kitchen Machine | Essential Package

Ankarsrum Assistent Original Stand Mixer in Light Crème

Light Crème is the classic, understated choice in the Assistent Original range, a soft neutral that fits almost any kitchen. The machine inside is anything but ordinary. Its bowl rotates against stationary tools, its motor is mounted in the base, and the result is a mixer built to handle loads of up to 11 pounds (5 kilograms) with the composure of a professional machine. This listing is for the Essential Package.

Designed Around Real Bread Dough

• Turning Bowl, Fixed Tools: Instead of beating dough from above, the Assistent presses and stretches it against stationary tools while the bowl turns. This approach mirrors hand kneading and develops gluten superbly, and it spares the motor the strain of an overhead drive.


• Low and Steady: Housing the motor in the base gives the machine a low center of gravity, so it stays put when the dough gets heavy. A full 11-pound (5-kilogram) batch is no cause for concern.


• Open From the Top: The tools are mounted on an arm to one side, which leaves the bowl open. Look in on the dough, push it toward the center, or add a splash of water at any point in the cycle.


• Quiet by Design: Ankarsrum draws attention to the quiet running of its motor, so you can knead for long stretches without the racket common to heavy mixers.


• Power That Responds: A high-torque, 600-watt motor works with a variable speed sensor that reacts to the load, while the 12-minute timer lets you repeat a favorite kneading time exactly.


• A Bowl for Every Batch: The 7-liter bowl handles up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of dough, yet it is equally ready for a lone egg white. Whipping that egg white requires the Premium Beater Set, available separately, since beaters and whisks do not come with the Essential Package.


• Made in Sweden, Since 1940: Each Assistent is put together by hand. A die-cast aluminum housing and zinc dials with a chrome finish are meant for years of daily baking.

Whipping, Beating, and Creaming

Aerated mixtures such as meringue, whipped cream, and cake batter are not what this package is built for, though they can be added. The Premium Beater Set provides the tools and works together with the Ankarsrum Stainless Steel Beater Bowl, which has to be ordered on its own. For a one-step purchase, look to the Premium Beater Set & Bowl Complete. Anyone who bakes mostly bread will be well served by what is already in the box.
