[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I do love this bread hook- it seems a little wider than the hook that comes with my kitchen aid so it grabs the flour and incorporates it a bit faster than the original. I dont know that its a necessity. But it is a very nice extra!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It keeps dough from climbing up the hook (and making a mess in the spring)! I have a 5 quart tilt-head and this fit securely with no issues. It is very specific on model compatability, so double check beforehand! It did great in the dishwasher and is easy to use. The hook kneaded pizza dough quickly and without leaving a ton of unmixed flour sticking to the bowl. It's very sturdy, and I didn't have any issues with bending even with a stiffer dough. It's a bit heavy, which is good for a stainless steel dough hook. It's a great addition to my mixer accessories!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dough hook attachment is very transformative in my day to day use of kneading dough for multiple things I make. it handles heavy dough and a large quantity with ease, as I make bread sometimes and naan. it definitely saves me time and effort of kneading it by hand.  with the way it moves it around. It provides soft and elastic door as I require. I like that it’s stainless steel and not coated.  it fits perfectly and it’s very easy to clean and dishwasher. I would definitely recommend it a few have the mixer and need to make dough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes my life so much easier!! It is simple to attach and mix my bead dough so smoothly. No more having to hand mix on my counter and have a sticky mess. It is easy to clean and a great addition to my kitchen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received KitchenAid stainless steel dough hook, and I'm very impressed with the difference between the plastic hook I had already been using for kneading dough. The stainless steel hook feels much more durable and sturdy, especially when kneading heavier bread and pizza doughs. It handles large batches with ease and gives me confidence that it will hold up well over time. One of my favorite features is that it's dishwasher safe and doesn't have a coating that can chip or peel. The plastic hook worked fine for lighter doughs, but it felt less robust and showed wear more quickly. The stainless steel version is easier to clean, looks great, and feels like a premium upgrade. The only drawbacks are that it's a bit heavier and more expensive than the standard hook, but the improved durability and performance make it well worth the investment. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone whobakes regularly and wants a long-lasting, high-quality dough hook. This product was sent to me by Influenster for my honest review.
