I like them especially for making pastry when I jog the machine on the spring loaded switch to lightly mix the pastry dough and cut in the shorterning and the liquid. These are the best choice to make cakes since they have less wire they do not develop the gluten in the flour of your cakes as the french whips might do. Always mix cakes on the lowest speed on your Bosch Universal or Universal Plus.
