Cooking is not easy. It depends on the talent and desire you put into it, but there are also more complex preparations than others. Baking, for example, requires something key: precision. And that is where technology has been contributing a lot in recent times.
Increasingly precise ovens, with precise technology controls, helped, for example, to make your biscuits ideal for assembling the perfect cake. But there is also something key shortly before taking that cake to the oven: the preparation in a blender.
As a professional, but at home
Stand mixers have become kitchen favorites of late. Formerly they were seen more in professional and/or industrial kitchens, today they are more present in the common home.
And that’s where Oster, has wanted to contribute with high quality technology so that you, me or anyone who wants to cook, can have professional precision in a simpler way and thanks to technology.
The importance of temperature in butters and toppings
They presented us for review a very particular blender, which has “Heatsoft” technology. In simple words, while whisking you can apply heat to your preparation. So that? If you know something about doughs or toppings, you will have it clear. If not, we’ll explain it to you.
For example, sheet doughs made with butter require this ingredient to be at a medium temperature. That is, moldable, but not melted or fresh from your refrigerator (cold). By using Heatsoft, you will be able to add that butter to your mixture without worrying about that detail, because by putting it at medium temperature, you will make it “ideal” for that type of dough.
It also has a slightly higher temperature mode. If you are looking to work with a chocolate coating, this function is ideal. You no longer run the risk of the microwave technique where if you go too far it can burn and you lose the flavor.
Beat, knead, prepare: whatever you want
The mixer, although it stands out for this differentiating technology, is of great quality and will serve as your ally when it comes to: beating, whipping egg whites, kneading and much more. No splashes, because it also comes with a very useful cover for your bowl. When we talk about mixers, one of the most frequently asked questions is if it is “too noisy”, we answer: no. Obviously it “makes noise”, but it is even less than what a conventional rod mixer could make.
This mixer model is ideal for those who like to make good pastries. Its power will ensure that your egg whites are so well assembled, that by following the step by step you will be able to achieve a perfect cake. Coupled with the ability to use Heatsoft for butters and toppings, get ready to cook like a pro. It is a product that we definitely recommend.
In short: a fairly complete machine
The Oster Planetary Stand Mixer with Heatsoft Technology uses warm heat to help bring butter or chocolate to room temperature quickly, giving you light, fluffy and creamy results.
Heatsoft technology has two temperatures. One is for is for softening butter up to 12 times faster, compared to leaving butter at room temperature for 30 minutes. And the second temperature selection is for melting the chocolate.
But this model brings several extras worthy of a professional kitchen, such as an LED light that provides better visibility of the mixture to ensure you have the desired consistency, its infinite knob that allows you to adjust the speed to perfect any recipe, and obviously its accessories for shake
These are: flat beater (for preparing normal or dense doughs, from rolls to meat rolls and cake batters), dough hook (for mixing and kneading yeasts, doughs and breads), and wire whisk (for whipping eggs, sponge cakes and creams).
It also features a flexible edge beater that reaches the sides of the bowl for a more even mix. Additionally, it comes with a splash guard designed to keep the heat in, which allows you to maximize the Heatsoft technology. This planetary mixer has a value of 349,990 CLP in Oster.cl.
Its bowl is 5.2 liters of stainless steel, ideal for large preparations and its powerful 1,000 watt motor will do all the work without any problem.
