  KNEADING WHISK

  <p>The whisk is the attachment for whipping and blending in air (cream, eggs, light batters) on planetary mixers and kneaders, as an alternative to the hook used for denser doughs.</p> <p><strong>Sirman Plutone range</strong>: whisk for <strong>7lt</strong>, <strong>7lt Plus</strong> (stainless steel), <strong>10lt</strong> and <strong>20lt</strong> — sized to the exact bowl capacity. The range also includes the whisk for the <strong>Kenwood Km Major</strong>.</p> <p>For the dough hook see <a href="/en/kneading-hook.html">Kneading Hook</a>; for other kneader spare parts go back to <a href="/en/kneaders.html">Kneader Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>When do I use the whisk instead of the hook?</strong><br>For whipping cream and eggs or blending light batters, where air needs to be incorporated; the hook remains the correct choice for dense doughs like bread and pizza.</p> <p><strong>Is the whisk interchangeable between the 7, 10 and 20-litre capacities?</strong><br>No, each bowl capacity has its own sized whisk: always check the litres of your planetary mixer.</p>

  KNEADING HOOK

  <p>The hook (or spiral) is the tool that kneads by rotating inside the bowl of the mixer or planetary mixer, reproducing manual kneading movement without overheating the dough.</p> <p><strong>A hook for every machine</strong>: each model has a spiral sized to its own bowl and capacity — Sirman Plutone and Plutone Plus 7lt, Plutone 10lt, Hercules 20/30/40, Fama BM10N 10lt, Domino Smart 7 Jolly (stainless steel).</p> <p><strong>Sign of wear</strong>: if the dough comes out kneaded unevenly, or the hook is visibly deformed/worn at the points of greatest friction, it's time to replace it.</p> <p>For general mixer spare parts see <a href="/en/kneaders.html">Mixer Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>Can a hook from another brand fit my mixer?</strong><br>Only if it has the same bowl capacity and the same fitting: it's always best to start from the exact model of your machine.</p> <p><strong>Why does my dough come out uneven?</strong><br>A worn or deformed hook no longer works the whole mass evenly: replacing it solves the problem.</p>

  GEAR FOR KITCHEN MIXER

  <p>Gears transmit motion from the motor to the tools (hook, whisk, spiral) of kneaders and planetary mixers, inside the gearbox unit.</p> <p><strong>KitchenAid</strong>: gearbox gear set (ref. 58, mod. K5), double and small gear kit (Z 19-62 and 23, outer diameter 70-37 and 38mm).</p> <p><strong>Sirman</strong>: gear for Plutone 10 and Plutone 20, accessory drive shaft (Plutone 7 Plus).</p> <p><strong>Other brands</strong>: &Oslash;42 plastic gear (BE5 planetary mixer), set of 3 plastic gears (mod. MR220), kneader pulley (mod. Smart 7 Domino).</p> <p><strong>Plastic material</strong>: many gears are made of plastic, a cheaper material often designed to wear out before more expensive gearbox components.</p> <p>For other kneader spare parts go back to <a href="/en/kneaders.html">Spare Parts for Kneaders</a> or <a href="/en/planetary-dough-mixers.html">Sirman Planetary Mixer Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I choose the right gear?</strong><br>Check the exact model of your planetary mixer and, if possible, the tooth count (Z) and diameter of the original gear.</p> <p><strong>Why are so many gears made of plastic?</strong><br>They're often designed to wear out before more expensive metal components, making maintenance simpler.</p>
