This 2-1/2-pound stainless-steel water jacket hooks onto the work bowl of the KitchenAid 5-quart stand mixer to keep hot or cold ingredients at the temperature you want them. Fill the jacket with hot water to keep ingredients pliable or melted; fill with ice to stiffen or keep ingredients cool as you blend or mix. This jacket is safe to wash in your dishwasher.
No need for serious bakers to race the clock any more with this KitchenAid water jacket. The jacket attaches to a 5-quart stand mixer and cools or warms the ingredients in the bowl as needed. For whipping cream, fill it with ice. To keep potatoes hot while you whip them, use hot water. With two latches that attach snugly to the bowl handles on a mixer, the stainless-steel jacket doesn't scoot around the counter. When you're finished whipping or mixing, hand wash it with mild detergent. --Emily Bedard
