I broke down



and bought a mixer. A heavy duty kitchen mixer with a dough hook and a splatter guard.
But, instead of spending over $300 on a Kitchenaid mixer, I bought the JCPenney brand Cooks mixer for $169.

The reasons behind this choice:

- The Cooks' mixer was almost half the price
- It has the same 5 quart capacity as the Kitchenaid
- It has a lot more power at 700 Watts than the 325 Watts Kitchenaid gives you
- It has 12 speed levels versus 10 (though this one wasn't really that big of a consideration)

Overall, I bought this so I could get my dough kneaded so I can make Indian flat bread: chapatis.
