You just gave me premission to trash that stupid attachment which I've
been stowing for umpteen years. I have never used it, not once, since
every past effort has resulted it in falling off. I feel better
already.

As an aside, I find my KA sort of awkward when I need to add
ingredients in intervals while I'm preparing a recipe. It always
seems a chore to get the cream cheese, butter, honey, you name the
ingredient into the center part of the bowl without taking the bowl
out of it's cradle. All gooey ingredients seem to stick to the sides.
Using a spatula to scrape it down is also difficult as the space is
limited.. In many/most cases, I prefer a hand held electric mixer.
I've had the KA a very long time and don't know it's exact capacity.
It's probably just too small for my needs.
