I’ve been using this method now and find it works very well. I usually cook in enameled cast iron and find it works just as well as stainless. Having a little veggie broth works well to deglaze the pan and add some flavor.

I’ve had this beauty for over one year and still love to use it whenever possible. It is so easy to make bread now and pass the windowpane test. Highly recommend this mixer.

I picked up a Coussance enamel interior egg skillet from a thrift store so you might look for that brand as well. They are beautiful vintage pieces

I am quite enamored of the new mixer. It definitely excels at bread dough and is no slouch at cookie dough either.

Oh, crud. Now I have severe mixer envy.

So far, I have made pizza dough and bread dough twice. I am amazed at the difference in the gluten development. I’ve finally achieved the window pane test! Ha ha. The Electrolux does have the reputation for excelling at bread dough, so I was curious about other mixing tasks. I tried a single batch of chocolate chip cookie dough. It was a bit harder to get the butter to cream initially, but once it got going it worked flawlessly. It even did a wonderful job incorporating the chips. So far, I love it. KitchenAid makes a great mixer, I just seem to keep pushing them beyond their limits.

I’d love to hear about your research. I finally got a small Zo 1-lb loaf bread maker, only to use to make the dough (then I take out, hand knead, do another rise, and bake in oven). It has been so much better simply for bread dough. How was the Electrolux been for other things? I’m terribly curious.
