Purposebuilt spiral dough hook for 6‑quart stand mixers: metal core with an antistick nylon coating to handle bread, pizza, pasta, yeast, noodle, cookie, and pie doughs. Faster, more consistent kneading: the spiral design moves dough up and down the hook for even mixing and gluten development, reducing mixing time and eliminating most hand kneading. Nonstick performance: the nyloncoated surface prevents dough from clinging, so ingredients slide smoothly and cleanup is easier. Durable and easy to maintain: metal construction for strength plus a nylon coating for foodsafe nonstick performance; dishwasher safe for straightforward cleaning. Easy to at home: designed so you can swap or reinstall the face hooks without tools or professional help. Common uses Weekly bread: knead sandwich and artisan dough quickly and consistently for regular home baking. Pizza and pasta doughs: develop gluten and texture without long manual effort, ready for shaping and proofing. Cookies and pastry bases: mix denser doughs and fillings without overworking, with dough releasing cleanly from the hook. Compatibility and care Sized for 6‑quart mixers (designed for use with compatible 6‑quart stand mixer attachments). Rinse or load in the dishwasher after use; allow to dry before storage. To face hooks, follow your mixer's attachment/removal instructions—no special tools required. What you get A sturdy, spiral metal dough hook with antistick nylon coating that improves kneading efficiency, saves time, and simplifies cleanup while maintaining reliable mixing performance.
