Not good, and I don't know if it can be cleaned of the oxidized
aluminum to trust it, so I ordered a new beater.

Wish I could get it in stainless but I don't see that option.

At least it happened after the Buttermilk Spice Cake was in the
oven. New part will be in the house in time for Koko's pecan
cookies and my annual almond crescents.

Oh no. I'm guessing this is the beater for the the kitchen-aid stand
mixer? (I don't own one but seems to me the parts should be dishwasher
safe... yikes!) I hope everything turns out well for the other holiday
goodies.

my beaters are enameled? (they are all white) I just noticed
yesterday that the finish at the bottom is beginning to wear. Hope I
don't have to go to the aluminum.

Yes, it can. My flat beater does the same thing. I jes wash the
'white spots' off, and move on. I've used this same beater fer 20
yrs.

The oxidized layer only looks bad, it is harmless. You can use 0000 wet
sand paper to clean it. It will shine like a mirror. The manufacturer went
cheap and did not anodize the part.

Thank you. It would be nice if the parts would go into the dishwasher,
you'd think that would be a no brainer. But if you've done that in
your life to this kind of aluminum part you learn quickly to know
better.

Cauliflower gratin is in the oven. Asparagus, grilled. Cake, in the
dome. List made so we don't leave the cocktail sauce home again, so
annoying. Crackers and Boursin cheese.

I'm making the pineapple cream cheese spread at Christmas.

When I was looking around for a replacement, I saw white coated ones
and people commented that they chipped. I didn't know what they
were coated with but if I knew it was enamel I might have gone
for that.

Good luck with yours, if it lasted a long time I imagine it's
worth having to replace it occasionally. Did your beater get
a lot of use over years?

Try citric acid in hot water. I use it to remove the lime from our
"Bialetti" coffee-maker (boil the solution in it); it doesn't affect the
aluminium.

(Hi!) The reason I don't trust it is that I learned my lesson on
a meat grinder part. I never did manage to clean it enough to make
gray color from rubbing off onto the meat so I gave up.

Of course, that's different because you can't reach into that part
to clean it (which is why it went into the dishwasher!). I will
try cleaning this one, then I'll have a spare, but I wasn't going
to attempt the white icing using a beater that colors stuff gray.

Thanks for the idea! I hate to just toss it at recycling.

We always put them in the DW. If you want a good beater get the
BeaterBlade for the KA. Does a better job than the original and can go
in the DW.

KA makes a flat paddle that's coated with some sort of plastic that's
dishwasher safe.

I am getting that! I've considered them before and I should have
ordered that one too. Thanks.

My KA flat beater is all white and I put it in the dishwasher all the time....no chips,
no problems. I don't get why someone is worried about one that is white....?

It's my dough hook that is just beginning to show a little wear. I'd
say that it got a fair amount of use. I won't be replacing it yet.
It's just a tiny scuff of wear not a chip or anything. It may still
last as long as I do.

When my beater was accidentally put into the dishwasher, I just scrubbed it
in hot soapy water and after a good rinse it was clean. No black from it at
all!

Got me! They could be more specific. Or make stainless beaters.
Thanks for the link. I'll grab some Lemishine (or whatever it's called)
and give that a try.

Fine steelwool will shine them up better than new... not SOS soap
pads, plain steelwool used dry, readily available at hardware
stores.... wear rubber gloves to save your mani.

The difference is hers isn't 45 years old. IIRC she bought it at the
end of last year or early this year. What a difference a few decades
make.

The coated mixer beaters are readily available, have been for decades,
they are coated with nylon making them dishwasher safe... Amazon sells
them as do many other stores. Coating aluminum beaters with nylon
makes them far less expensive than producing SS beaters.
There's nothing difficult about hand washing a KA flat beater... in
fact it can be quickly and safely machine washed along with the bowl
while attached to to the KA mixer... then a quick rinse in the kitchen
sink. I've always washed my blender by running it with a couple
changes of water.
