My stand mixer isn't my most used appliance, but it might be the one I enjoy getting out of its storage place the most, especially if it means that cake is on the cards.
Despite that, I've had one long-running problem when using it for years: where and how to store my attachments when it's not in use.
I know that it's a small price to pay to own one of the best stand mixers, but it was a problem nonetheless. Until I discovered a cheap and cheerful hook system for under £10 that keeps everything as neat and tidy like I've always wanted. Here's how it works.
This simple-fix hook set can attach to underneath your kitchen cabinets or within a cupboard, providing sleek storage for your KitchenAid accessories.
Though I know there's a way to organise most things in a small kitchen like mine, my stand mixer attachments have been rattling around in a very unsatisfactory way for a long time now.
I've been storing them within the bowl of my KitchenAid which sits on open shelving, but this created a problem every time I wanted to use my mixer with just one of the attachments. It mostly led to me to emptying out the rest of them messily onto a nearby table.
Plus, as my KitchenAid attachments (which are the perfect present for Bake Off fans, by the way) are the polished aluminium type, I want to keep them in good nick for as long as possible as there's no layer underneath if they break.
So, when I came across this hook system on Amazon, the very positive user reviews gave me heart to give them a go – as one user said I hoped it would provide 'at last somewhere to put them when not in use'.
The thing I liked most about the hooks when they arrived is that they are renter-friendly too. You can drill them in, but they also come with a sticky backing, so that you're able to remove them when you move out easily.
A quick installation process (which took me about 2 minutes) later and my big KitchenAid quibble was solved!
My treasured stand mixer!
If you've had the same headache, I can't recommend this cheap and cheerful fix more.
