Bosch Universal Potato Peeling Bowl


Bosch has made some interesting attachments for the [easyazon-link keywords=”Bosch Universal Mixer” locale=”us”]Universal mixer[/easyazon-link] over the years. In a previous post, I put up some scans of the food mill / strainer. Today we have some pictures of the potato peeling bowl. Not just for potatoes, the bowl will peel other hard vegetables.

You add water and vegetables to the bowl, turn on the mixer and let it run. The disc in the bottom of the bowl turns ‘round and ‘round. The abrasives on the disc and bowl sides scrub off the peels into the water.

It’s not perfect, of course. It can’t dig out an eye for you, but it does a pretty good job.

You can find the manual here: Potato Peeling Bowl Manual.

The black around that center post is a seal to keep the water in the bowl:

It says: “Germany Importe D’Allemagne” … Google Translate tells me that’s “Imports from Germany” and the language is French … why French text on the bottom of an attachment for a German mixer? Does that mean my bowl came to the US from France?

Bosch Universal Mini Dough Hook for the Slicer-Shredder Bowl


L’Equip has released a new dough hook for Bosch’s Slicer-Shredder Bowl. You can already mix light batters in the slicer-shredder bowl using the [easyazon-link keywords=”bosch ts5 whisk” locale=”us”]mini whisk[/easyazon-link] assembly; now dough has moved to the small bowl.

I decided to take it for a test drive on some pizza dough. The recipe is a variation on Alton Brown’s pizza dough:

3/4 cup water
2 cups bread flour
2 T sugar
2 t salt
1 T yeast
2 T olive oil

I throw everything into the bowl and after it comes together, set the timer for 12 minutes and walk away.

If you want to watch the full-length, shot-from-above video from start to finish you can see it here.

Bosch Universal Food Strainer

“Back in the day” Bosch seems to have made some pretty interesting attachments for the Universal mixer!

Here is their food mill or strainer taken from a manual for the “Bosch Food Mixer III.” (From the picture I think that’s a UM3 Classic Universal.) The strainer only worked with the “deluxe” model. The deluxe model was the mixer that shipped with the original dough-only bowl.

Does anyone have one???

Bowl Scraper for the Bosch Universal

L’Equip has made available a bowl scraper attachment for the Bosch Universal mixers. This attachment attaches to the whip drive of the Universal and turns with the whips or cookie paddles to scrape both the center post and the bowl sides. It does a great job!

You can see the bowl scraper at work in the video above. It’s attached to the metal whip drive and is being used with the cookie paddles in the SB4 stainless bowl on a Classic Universal (actually it’s the Bosch Comfort Plus – the Universal with a timer!).

The bowl scraper is model number[easyazon-link asin=”B006QOJQG8″ locale=”us”]MUZ6BS1[/easyazon-link].

L’Equip has allowed me to share the instruction sheet for the bowl scraper. Please read the instructions! They explain the proper procedure for using the bowl scraper without excessive wear of the scraper blades. If you don’t do it the right way you could grind down your scraper blades against the sides of the bowl. View it here.

MUZ6SB3 & MUZ6SB4

L’Equip is making two stainless steel all-purpose bowls for the Bosch Universal mixers: the MUZ6SB3 and the MUZ6SB4. Both bowls will fit either the classic Universals or the Universal Plus. Both come with a removable drive shaft for easy cleaning. Both are 5.5 quart bowls with a dough capacity of 12 pounds.

The difference between the SB3 and SB4 is the number of splash-ring locking pins. The SB3 has three pins that will allow it to use the 3-pin splash-rings of the MUZ6KR4 plastic bowl. The SB4 has four locking pins to match the Universal Plus’ MUZ6KR4UC plastic bowl.

Below is the SB4. Note the white bit of plastic on the splash-ring. It is a lock to keep the splash-ring from moving about while the mixer is running.
