what material is the beater and dough hook made of? is it healthy to use them with the burnished surface off?

Whatever they are made of don't buy this. It turns everything black that you make. Only buy the white coated one. If it were stainless steel, then by all means buy, but not the burnished one.

These beaters are made of metal. Burnished just mean that they were polished to a shinny finish free of rust.

It is made of steel with a burnished finish, not stainless steel. It is okay to use even if you lose the finish, but then you have to make sure to dry it thoroughly after washing and not let air dry.

It looks like cast Aluminum. I don't have the dough hook, just the beater. As for health, it's no different from an aluminum pan which oxidizes and gets dull with use.

Yes I think that would be fine. You may get scratches on the inside from your beaters, but you should be fine. I tend to use mine with a wooden spoon as I already have a bowl that attaches to my mixer. I think it would be ok.

I don't know what they are made of, but I have replaced them three times. The mixer is great the beaters not so much.

Correction the burnished hook is not enameled but polished. I it is not dishwasher safe.

I've used them for cupcakes and muffins and have had no problems. They are standard, white liners, and I don't believe they have any additional coating to protect from oil/butter in the batter.

We haven't used the beater blade yet. We mostly use the mixing and hook blades, which work good. Sorry I'm not much help.

I haven't used the dough hooks yet, but it's the best built hand mixer I've ever used - by far. Well worth the extra money.

Lynne,The pan is a baked on coating. There is no teflon involved. You will want to mind scratching it however as it will likely rust over time. Make sure when cleaning that you do NOT try to ply out the flippers as they do get wedged pretty good. They and the pan will need to be soaked in warm water and then the flippers can be twisted (using the wingnut under the pan) to loosen them up.FYI: I made the above mistake and got a nice little dig in one of the flippers coating. It hasn't rusted yet but my big concern was flakes. There is no flaking with this baked on stuff. Lynne,The pan is a baked on coating. There is no teflon involved.

I had a spiral hook for the K-6 (probably an after-market) that was coated with a white plastic; the spiral that came with the K-7 is burnished and not dishwasher safe.

Plastic or vinyl, they work fine and are easy to clean up. I had fun playing with the thing once you get the consistency of the dough right.

My white beater did too. I went to the burnished. works fine. best to hand wash tho.

hi. it comes with only 2 types of hooks. same as what is shown in the product description. chrome beater and dough hooks. my wife says it runs way too fast even at slow speed, so not suitable for mixing. we use it only to make dough.

anodized surface. Pan is GREAT, rack not so much. I've only used it a few times and the teflon coating on the rack is coming off in places. Pan is a dream!! Just wipe it out when it is cool and wash it. The pan, rack, and meat to roast is HEAVY, and when you take it out of the oven it is heavy and HOT. Just say'...

Dear Lanai1, Thank you for your interest in the Cake Boss Bakeware Products. The material is Carbon Steel. With normal use and following the manufacture "Important Use and Care" informational sheet that comes with the product, that should not be an issue you will encounter. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind Regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

Since it is used primarily to beat egg whites, yes it is safe to use with a hand mixer. Copper is a soft metal, so yes it will scratch if abused. I also used mine to melt chocolate. Just sit it over a pan of boiling water as you would a double boiler and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, NOT a metal object that would scratch the finish. I have these in 2 sizes and with careful treatment anticipate they will last for years. One caveat: do not actually cook in them. Some foods interact and become toxic when heated with copper. If you notice that beautiful cookware is always lined with another metal, usually some alloy. Enjoy your copper vessel.

I suspect it is aluminum. I don't use it for baking so it was not that critical for me. I like the one I got though.
