Hand Mixers?
Hi, I just want to inquire about using hand held mixers for kneading. Beforehand, I did a little research and most people strongly recommended against kneading with a hand mixer.
Apparently it's because the mixer is not equipped to handle such a stiff 'batter' (dough). However, I have a recipe that makes a slack dough. Would it work if I kneaded it with a hand mixer? Or do you advise against it?
BTW- in case you are wondering, I do have a stand mixer, but my mom broke the dough hook. Long story.

hand mixers attached to yer arms, If its not to much to hold a throbbing, screeching and otherwise super abrasive hand mixer it should be a breeze to get wrist deep in that dough with a mixing spoon and a scraper.
Gave it up, used my good old hands, and it was fine! It was not the end of the world :P
