Stainless Steel Spiral Dough Hook Replacement for KitchenAid 4.5QT & 5QT Bowl Tilt-Head Stand Mixers, Rustproof & Easy Clean, Efficient Kneading for Bread, Pizza, Pasta, Cookies

Beautiful attachment, great functionality. This is superior to the KitchenAid C-hook from what I've seen so far, which is admittedly only making tortilla dough, but I just got this yesterday. What I make the most is potato bread, a decidedly stickier dough, and I will update this if the spiral hook does any less than awesome on that. Was really impressed with the hook's action though, which pushed the dough into the bottom of the mixing bowl rather than flinging it all around the sides. Seemed much more efficient. No dough crept up the hook, and there was nothing to scrape down the sides. The bowl came out almost perfectly clean. The polished stainless looks great, and matches the new attachment hub cover I got for my KA. Planning to get the matching pastry paddle.

This spiral hook is even better in person than it looked on line. It is highly polished, heavy, and most importantly to me, SOLID steel... not welded. Highly polished or chrome plated so it cleans extremely easily. And it fit my K5SS model so perfectly I didn't have to adjust the mixer head... it just swirls around near the bottom of the bowl while the dough is cleaning the sides of the bowl instead of riding up the dough hook. You have to watch it to see how much better it mixes than the original dough hook. It's mesmerizing. One final note; because it seems to engage entire mass of dough instead of whiffing past it like the OEM dough hook, I think the mixer is working harder. It seemed to heat up more than usual. But the dough was awesome.

I purchased this stainless steel dough hook for my KitchenAid stand mixer mini and it fits and performs exceptionally well. I struggle to find attachments for my precious 3.5 QT mini and I’m glad I was able to find this affordable dough hook. It’s very easy to attach and use. Right out of the box, it felt solid—definitely not flimsy or coated like some original accessories. I appreciate the all stainless steel construction, especially since it’s rustproof and there’s no risk of chipping like enamel-coated hooks. I’ve used it for bread dough, pizza crust, and even some heavier pasta dough—this spiral hook handled it all without strain. Cleanup is effortless: dishwasher safe and easy to rinse if you’re hand washing. If you’re replacing a worn-out dough hook or want to avoid the chipping issues of coated versions, this is an excellent upgrade. Just double-check your model compatibility. Pros: • Heavy-duty stainless steel • No chipping or coating to worry about • Easy to clean • Kneads evenly and efficiently Cons: • Haven’t found any Overall, I’m very pleased and would definitely repurchase.

Perfect for replacing the C hook on my recently inherited vintage Kitchenaid. I was getting ready to throw in the towel and purchase a Nutrimill mixer, but decided to take a flyer on this. This spiral hook doesn't allow the bread dough to climb up to the top of the drive. It also allowed for excellent gluten development on my sourdough, cutting down on the need to do additional stretch and folds. I had excellent results on my first loaf mixed with this hook.

Fantastic addition for my KitchenAid mixer. Works perfectly.

Bought for my KA Artisan Mini. Works fine for small batches.

How is this not the default dough hook? No coating to chip off, and the design is so much better. The C-hook that comes with the mixer would simply roll dough that was on the drier side around the edge after it crawled up the hook. This design prevents that and is much closer to a true kneading (but without the work... which is the point of the mixer). Seems solid, it's dishwasher safe, and basically perfect.

I love this thing! It actually kneads the dough (and does it quickly) rather than just spin it around like the C hook style that came with my mixer. It fit my mixer perfectly, but be aware that there are several different versions of this hook as Kitchen Aid mixers vary from model to model. Make sure you order the right one for your model of mixer. It’s heavy and made of quality stainless steel. Not all stainless steels are magnetic—it depends on the amount of nickel and chromium in the alloy, so don’t be bothered by negative reviews about that. It works so well at kneading that you have to be careful that you don’t overload the mixer. I have a KSM90 which is under powered for this. I tried to make a double recipe of pizza dough and the mixer bogged down and had a hard time. I just finished a single loaf recipe and it had no issues at all. I highly recommend this if you bake and struggle with using a C hook.

There is nothing much to write here, but that it works as expected. I feel it works better than the one provided with the stand mixer.

I did my first batch of Artisan dough weighing 600g. Unlike the original KitchenAid dough hook, this stainless steel dough hook performed exceptionally and the dough did not creep up the hook. I have a 4.8 Litre Tilt head KitchenAid. Works better than the original. I have read that some experienced the dough sticking into the cavity where the hook attaches to the machine spindle. I did not experience that. Perhaps because I worked with a smaller batch of dough.

Ich habe diesen Edelstahl-Spiral-Teighaken als Ersatz für meine KitchenAid gekauft. Der Haken ist baugleich zum Original, aber der große Vorteil: Er ist komplett aus Edelstahl ohne Beschichtung, die sich beim Originalteil mit der Zeit ablöst. Der Teighaken passt perfekt in den Mixer, sitzt stabil und verarbeitet den Teig sehr gleichmäßig. Besonders bei schweren Teigen (Brot, Pizza, Hefeteig) merkt man, dass er sauberer arbeitet und nichts anhaftet. Durch den Edelstahl ist er außerdem deutlich langlebiger und leichter zu reinigen. Für mich ist dieser Ersatz ein echtes Upgrade – gleiche Form, gleiche Funktion, aber bessere Qualität und keine abblätternde Beschichtung mehr. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle KitchenAid‑Besitzer, die eine hochwertige und langlebige Alternative zum original beschichteten Teighaken suchen!

Great for dough, the lack of a painted finish means no concern about chipping. Fits onto the KitchenAid perfectly and easily. Unlike the standard dough hook, this doesn’t cause the dough to climb up the attachment, so everything mixes better and stays in the bottom of the mixer. Functions far better than the standard dough hook.

Excelente opción para amasar masas pesadas en la kitchen aid. A mi parecer es mejor que el gancho que viene de fabrica.
