The Verona® Assistent™ by Electrolux has been a Swedish secret for over fifty years. An exceptional all-around mixer, its exceptional strength also makes it a world-class dough mixer. Tthe Electrolux/Verona Assistent has an impeccable reputation for long term reliability and quality results whether you're mixing a cake, whipping a meringue, or baking ten loaves of fresh, light, scrumptious bread. The best Assistent ever, the N30 belt-drive mixer is a standout machine with great capabilities. (Now designated "Verona", this newest model of the Assisent was known for years by the name Electrolux Assistent DLX Mixer, or the Magic Mill Mixer.)

The Verona/Magic Mill DLX Assistent mixer smooth, silky, elastic dough quickly and easily with its unique roller and scraper design. This method effectively mimics kneading by hand, minus the time and effort. As the stainless bowl revolves, the deeply fluted roller of the Verona Assistent/Magic Mill DLX acts as your fingers, with the scraper mimicking the palm of your hand. The Magic Mill scraper folds the dough with a rhythmic motion while the roller provides a powerful massaging action. Dough comes out smooth and elastic, in large or small batches. Any speed from 40 to 140 RPM can be selected, and an electronic speed sensor automatically adjusts motor torque to the load. A timer is standard equipment, so the Verona/Magic Mill DLX will do its work while you do other tasks, stopping when you want it to. The control panel is angled for comfortable use, and the large timer and speed controls are attractive and easy to read. And included with your Assistent mixer is a new instructional DVD to help you get you off to a fast start.

The large 8 quart stainless steel bowl of the Magic Mill holds up to 28 cups of flour (7 lbs.), to make approximately 15 lbs. of bread dough (7-10 loaves). The efficient, high-torque 600 watt motor runs smoothly and quietly; coupled with an advanced transmission design, it provides ample power to mix and knead even the largest batch of heavy bread dough without straining. The Verona/Electrolux Assistent was given its nickname, "The Workhorse Mixer" not by its manufacturer Electrolux, but by users who praise this powerful kitchen helper that's so enjoyable to use.

The Verona/Magic Mill's whisk beater bowl (the white bowl shown below) will create beautiful meringues, beating up to 18 egg whites (or as few as one) with excellent results. You can also cream butter, margarine and shortening with sugar to the creamiest texture for all your cookie needs. When white bowl is used, it is stationary (unlike the stainless bowl, which turns during use), and the whisks drive from below via a center column in the bowl (the white bowl is shaped something like a bundt cake.) This arrangement provides total access to the top of the Verona/Magic Mill bowl, with no overhead motor drive in the way. The beater bowl is sold separately by Electrolux, but we include it with your mixer at no additional charge. When mixing with either this bowl or the stainless bowl, the only metal in contact with your food is food-grade stainless steel.

The Verona/ Magic Mill DLX mixer measures 13.5"H x 10.5"W x 15.7"D, weighs only 19 lbs. with stainless bowl. It sits firmly on solid rubber feet, and will not walk on the countertop during use. The entire motor enclosure is made of metal, and is available in your choice of attractive finishes. The Verona Assistent mixer has a two year, parts and labor, manufacturer's warranty.

The biggest difference between dense, heavy baked goods and the delightfully textured products you want to enjoy is proper development of the gluten in the dough. The Verona/Magic Mill kitchen mixer is unexcelled in its ability to turn out fantastic dough. With the array of available accessories displayed below, it offers to add a myriad of exciting dimensions to your cooking experience. The Verona Mixer by Electrolux is a lifetime investment.

I received the Electrolux mixer I ordered from Pleasant Hill Grain and started using the mixer that evening. I'm very pleased with it. I managed to bake 48 loaves of bread this weekend. I built an outdoor wood fired oven in which I can do up to twelve loaves at a time. I was having problems getting enough dough mixed up and risen for my oven. The Assistent is a great addition for me. I look forward to many years of use for this mixer. I want to say that everyone at Pleasant Hill has been very professional and informative... I'm sure I will be in touch with you for my next purchase. Great doing business with you. – Jerry Wagner, Springfield OR

I ordered a DLX Assistent from you three weeks ago and immediately began using it to make many loaves of bread. The first weekend I made over fifty artisanal loaves of various types, and they all turned out great. Not only that, the work was so very much easier than with my Kitchen Aid mixer. This morning I just mixed up a batch of ciabatta. I've never seen such creamy, glistening, super elastic dough in my life, and the ciabatta turned out fabulous! The DLX ran for over fifteen minutes at medium high and high speed and didn’t break a sweat. It's fantastic. I might add that the machine is very easy both to use and to clean. I also want to say what a delight it was to place an order with your company. The salesperson was very helpful, answering every question thoroughly. Service was prompt, friendly, and very efficient. You can be sure I will continue to do business with you. Thanks for being a great company and for carrying such a fantastic mixer. – Jackie Greenfield, Redding CT

Fresh baked bread is always a taste treat! But what about nutrition? Grain flour has truly fabulous nutritional value when it's freshly milled, but nutrient values plunge just a few days after milling. What's more, mass marketers remove the most nutritious parts from the grain in favor of long-term (nutritionless) shelf life. "Refined" white flour is a marvel of marketing efficiency, and its nutritional value is roughly on a par with marshmallows. When you consider that your body becomes what you eat, this is a serious problem. Fortunately a great solution is available. By milling whole grains in your kitchen you can have the freshest, best tasting baked goods that are fully loaded with the nutrients our bodies need for wellness and vitality. Pleasant Hill Grain offers the best grain mills on the market and you can see them here.

Pleasant Hill Grain sells whole grain wheat, other grains, and beans: Choose from hard red or hard white wheat, both ideal for bread making as well as many other uses, including sprouting. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color. Many of our customers prefer the white and a good number prefer the red — it's a matter of taste. If you're just starting out with whole grain baking and don't know how to pick, we suggest starting with hard white wheat. We also offer soft durum wheat for pasta and other uses, spelt, kamut, rye, quinoa, oat groats, buckwheat, barley, brown, basmati and white rice, soybeans, millet, corn, and a range of dry beans. All are packaged oxygen-free in sealed food-safe buckets, for secure storage.

The Fiddle Bow bread knife is a unique tool that makes it a cinch to slice bread to perfectly uniform thickness, slice after slice. Available in either adjustable or fixed-thickness models, the knife's back frame serves as a depth stop to ensure that every slice is cut to exactly the thickness you want. The serrated stainless steel blade is held under tension to keep it perfectly straight as it easily cuts through even the crustiest bread. Models are available in oak or cherry wood, in both right-handed and left-handed versions. This clever & well-crafted tool is made in USA!

Several models are available... see our Fiddle Bow knives here!
