For those not acquainted with that term, it is not food. Lickity-split means really fast. Instructions for making Miracle Fruitcake included boiling a mixture of brown sugar, dates, raisins, water, and butter for several minutes. Then that is to be transferred to a metal bowl and allowed to cool. If it does not cool enough you could cook the next ingredient to be added next, eggs. So I put the boiling hot mixture into the mixer bowl and put that in a ice-water bath till it was sufficiently cool, then I was able to add the eggs and a few more ingredients. while that mixed I measured out the flour and spices, baking soda and baking powder. Then those ingredients were poured down the chute into the bowl with the mixer on speed 1. After that went in the candied fruit mix and the nuts, on speed 1. With this mixer I was able to have ready batter in about a third the time it used to take. If you aren't familiar with production rate increases you might be cutting yourself short of the capabilities of this machine. This is a time saving machine par excellence. It reminds me of working in a commercial kitchen, though I would not try to mix a batch of 30 dozen chocolate chip cookies at once in this 6 Qt bowl. This pink unit came with the three basic beaters and the pouring shield. Fits on the counter top under the wall cabinet just fine. I bought this to upgrade from the 4.5 Qt tilt head we had used for the last 39 years. That old tilt-head unit got a good cleaning and new grease and changed from Harvest Gold to Red for our daughter. These things are built to last several generations.
