KneadAce Dough Hook Shield For Kitchen Aid - Prevents Your Dough from Climbing Up and Clogging Up Your Mixer – Mess Free Mixer Accessory Compatible With KitchenAid C Shape Dough Hooks (Dark Grey)

Major issue solved. This thing works so well I think it should come standard with the KA dough hook. Qualified review: I've used it about 20 times now.

Works great!

This simple little plastic disk makes a huge difference. I especially like to use it when I am mixing dough for sourdough bread. It keeps the dough from running up the dough hook shaft and making a mess. You don't have to stop the mixer and clean it every few minutes either. I feel like it gives a more thorough mixing since it pushes everything back downward into the bowl. I love it and it has become standard equipment on our stand mixer now.

Works great!

Works like it should

Works extremely well to keep the mixer workings clean

I’ve made dough in my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and the amount was too much to knead without the dough moving up to where the hook attaches to the machine. It makes a mess and you have to use your fingers to get all the dough off the machine. I was worried that it may clog the area where it’s inserted. Thank goodness for knockoff brands. This brand didn’t disappoint. The prices of Kitchen Aid accessories is way too high so I purchased the KneadAce dough shield it fit my mixer perfectly and does an excellent job of stopping the dough moving into the connection hole. Definitely worth $18.99 USD, now with a 20% off coupon. That’s $3.78 subtracted from $18.98, so $15.20 before tax. You can beat that price with a stick (or mixer). I highly recommend this product. It would be even better if the hook was made with a shield but mine is old, so the hook has no shield.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great price.
