YES! I love my kitchenaid!\

@MrsBrewer: You use the paddle attachment! You just thrown the chicken in and it will shred it beautifully.

@Ash: @zippylef: How have I never done this before?! I'm going to do this for sure when I need to shred chicken next! Thanks for passing on the knowledge!

we have a red kitchenaid mixer that we got from our wedding. love it!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: You used a mixer for tomato soup? I'm confused - was it to take out lumps or to mix up whole tomatoes? If it was, you should try an immersion blender. Most beloved appliance I've got.

@Ash: That is freakin' BRILLIANT!! I would never have thought to shred chicken like that!

I have a beautiful bluey-purple Kitchen Aid stand mixer. It was the number 1 most important thing to get off my wedding registry. It is indispensable for Christmas baking alone.

I have a kitchen aid and I use at least once a week. I love it!

nope, i'm not a huge baker so the handheld one i already had works well for me.

i haven't even touched my food processor from wedding shower...

@Dagret - He CUT your shower curtain? wth?

I also have a hand mixer that I got from Target for cheap. Under $20 and it comes with a case to hold it's attachments. I highly recommend it if you want a replacement or someone wants a space-saver!

Yes, a kitchenaid stand mixer. I use it all the time. They last forever, too, so I think they've worth the investment even for fairly casual use.
