Product design engineer Vincent Valderrama returns to Epicurious to pit a $49 Nurxiovo stand mixer against an upscale $1,000 model from Wolf Gourmet in a series of common tasks. From combining pizza dough and whipping meringue to making frosting and grinding meat, Vincent breaks down which tasks the high-priced model outperforms the budget option on, and which ones it doesn’t.

There's one thing that still bothers me about these stand mixers, and many others just like them. While the meat grinder is running, the spindle underneath is also whirling around, creating a potential hazard. Why haven't the manufacturers either figured out a system to disengage the spindle or some kind of clip on guard to cover the area to minimise the risks. I've seen it happen in a commercial setting, I shudder to think of something like that happening in the home.

With this model Cuisinart, there’s no whisk attachment available. The design us very poor. The mixing paddles never reach all of the ingredients. Made a triple batch of buttercream, a few days ago. It was impossible to get all of the butter mixed. Had to remove and try to whip by hand.

For everyone claiming "I never heard of Wolf"; it's a "No name brand." Wolf is the newish line of countertop appliances from Sub-Zero, hardly a "no name" brand. And Consumer Reports rated Wolf their top choice, over top-of-the-line KitchenAid, which came in fourth. Take that for whatever it's worth.

All fine, but knowledge about how good pizza is made seems to be completely missing from this video. When kneading, you don’t have to break up the dough. You need to work tot, all around, inside out, and so on, but keeping it in one piece. The wolf instead kept breaking up the dough in many parts, which destroys the stretchy gluten bonds that make pizza soft but slightly bouncy, chewy (as the host said), as it should be. So, the wolf definitely didn’t do a good job. It’s a definite no from me.
