Easily introduced through the lid to mix ingredients and ensure ultimate control. Ideal for large or particularly thick mixtures. Made from plastic and rubber, using BPA-free materials and dishwasher safe. Due to the excellent performance of the stand mixer, the tamper is usually not required. However, it provides ultimate control over the blending process. When blending at high speeds, an air pocket may form above the blades, trapping ingredients. The tamper allows for quick intervention, pushing the ingredients back into the mixing vortex to achieve optimal consistency. For large quantities or ultra-thick, low-liquid mixtures like nut butter, hummus, and sorbet, the tamper may need to be used more frequently.
