Baking is the technique of prolonged cooking of food by dry heat acting by convection, and not by radiation, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.[1] It is primarily used for the preparation of bread, cakes, pastries and pies, tarts, quiches, and cookies. Such items are sometimes referred to as "baked goods," and are sold at a bakery. A person who prepares baked goods as a profession is called a baker. It is also used for the preparation of baked potatoes; baked apples; baked beans; some pasta dishes.Many domestic ovens are provided with two heating elements: one for baking, using convection and conduction to heat the food.

All Kitchenaid models have attachments that you can buy to make your appliance even more useful. In addition to the meat grinder which has been available for years, there is an ice cream maker, a pasta machine, and a juicer. Having one appliance that can do so many things will save space in the kitchen. And the mixer motor is so robust that you won't have to worry about wearing it out.
