Yep, it’s one of those things you never knew you needed until you have it – kind of like heated seats in your car. The light allows you to clearly see your batter and ensure that flour gets mixed evenly into these Absolute Best Brownies. OXO has also designed this mixer with a splatter-free slow start and the ability to hold a consistent speed while batter thickens. The digital control allows you to adjust mixing speeds as needed by changing your grip. A set of dough hooks is also included with this mixer giving you the option of making dough for a great Challah loaf.
