". . . One of the secrets to a great cookie is perfectly creamed butter and sugar, and on this task the SideSwipe performed as promised. After two minutes of beating on medium-low speed, the butter mixture was light and aerated, and no traces of sugar remained on the sides of the workbowl or around the bottom divot. Dry ingredients also incorporated well . . . (and regarding mashed potatoes) . . . smooth, fluffy spuds without a hint of gumminess."

". . . The angled silicone fins did a great job on quickly creaming butter and sugar together as well as stirring in dry ingredients for my favorite cookies. It cut butter into flour and whipped through cake batter . . . I'm a convert."

"PROBLEM: Stopping to scrape slows down your cake making.  SOLUTION: The SideSwipe Spatula Mixer Blade, which attaches like a regular paddle, scrapes down the ingredients into the bowl as it blends."

            Featured Solution in REAL SIMPLE magazine                                                 

"(One) of my favorite things from 2007 . . . When I sampled this for The Cook's Kitchen, I though it might be useful come Christmas time. How right I was! This blade, which has silicone fingers that scrape the bowl as you mix, sped up my cookie making exponentially. And anything that gives me more time is tops in my book."

“I absolutely love this product.  It is amazing how thoroughly the blade wipes the edges of the bowl clean.  While using the SideSwipe spatula mixer blade, I never have to use a regular spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl because all the ingredients are successfully incorporated.  The SideSwipe also cleans up quickly.  I just rinse it with very hot water and the food comes right off.”

"Anyone who loves to bake will love the SideSwipe, designed to make scraping the sides of the mixing bowl obsolete."

"I gave it a go with my own favorite molasses-based cookie recipe (if there’s ever a foil to clean-sweeping plans, molasses is it) and was glad to find that I never had to stop the mixer to scrape down the bowl with all of the batter neatly collected and mixed at the bottom. Note: this is a total killjoy for any kids standing by that are eager to lick the bowl clean when you’re done, so be nice and warn them ahead of time . . . With Christmas looming, this is a fantastic gift for your mom/ grandmother/sister/girlfriend (you may even get some cookies out of the deal)."

“We loved the blade, especially for whipping butter and mashing potatoes.  In fact, there was a fight between chefs at the restaurant.  Everyone wanted to use it.”

                               Woody's Restaurant, Lancaster, Ohio

 

"I tested the blade making one of my favorite things: brownies. Usually I end up stopping the mixer a few times before the process is over to scrape down the sides. I never realized how much time this added to my mixing. With SideSwipe, the whole mixing process - from start to finish - took about two minutes. Check out how clean the bowl was during the mixing process (photo) . . . cleaned up like a charm . . . with the holidays coming up (read: cooking frenzy), I will definitely get a lot of use out of it . . ."

“If you bake a lot, you probably wish there were a way to blend ooey-gooey ingredients like cream cheese and peanut butter without repeatedly stopping your mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The SideSwipe blade by Frut LLC is the solution.”

                                             Fort Worth Star-Telegram

 

"Thank you so much for hearing my prayers for an easier way to scrape down the batter in the mixing bowl. I did not have to stop several times to scrape down and around when I mixed my batter. I was able to concentrate on adding the ingredients for homemade cakes and muffins and not worry about missing any ingredients . . . You developed what all cooks and bakers have long sought for a beater and a scraper."

"SideSwipe makes the best frosting!"

"I love the SideSwipe. In fact, it is the best new kitchen gadget that I have gotten in years. It makes making fudge much easier. I really was never happy with my mixer because of all of the stop & scrape."

                                                  C. Borden, home baker

 

"My Sideswipe Blade arrived this morning.  I was not planning on baking today but I had to try my new toy.  I LOVE IT!!!  It performed perfectly."
