Sunbeam is changing the mixing game, with the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer review.

The NEW Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer is designed with unique HeatSoft™ Technology that features two heat selections SOFTEN and MELT for smoother, creamier and faster baking, all in one bowl.

The Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer is the first ever stand mixer in the Australian market to feature the unique HeatSoft™ Technology – the newest innovation to mixing.

Two unique heat settings.

What sets this stand mixer apart is its two unique heat settings.

Say goodbye to traditional melting methods such as stovetops and microwaves and get faster, easier and consistent melting results each and every time.

Soften

This feature uses gentle heat to bring fridge cold ingredients, such as butter, to room temperature.

Melt

This feature uses higher heat to melt ingredients such as chocolate while mixing, to achieve optimal baking results all in one bowl. It can’t burn chocolate – fool proof!

Mix and Melt in one bowl.

  • Sunbeam mixmaster heat and mix WOW

    Technology has come a long way, a mixmaster with such amazing technology. To be able to heat just on its own saves so much time and dishes, makes life so much easier when cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Having a large 5.2lt mixing bowl is another great added extra. Great product

  • Fav Baking Appliance

    I have been using this mixer for a few months now and every time I use it I feel like Martha Stewart. I am in love with the chocolate “melt” function- I use it to drizzle over chocolates, dip cake pops and cover fruit with it. It is impossible to burn chocolate.. the soften function is incredible too, used for butter. Last thing on my to do list is to let the butter get to room temperature so this machine is my hero.
    I cannot wait for more sunbeam recipes to come out so I can try some more of their recipes! Great appliance.

  • Final review and ultimate test - we love it!

    We were lucky to have our friends 25th wedding anniversary and vow renewal literally the week after we received the mixer – so it got a real workout making this 4 layer semi-naked chocolate cake! Easiest cake I’ve ever made thanks to the soften feature and intense speed for whipping up icing making it light (in both texture and colour!). Thank you for the opportunity MoM and Sunbeam!

  • Sunbeam Mixer

    We’ve been using the mixer for a while now and it continues to impress!

    I love that for most recipes all ingredients can be thrown in and the mixer does all the work!! Especially the melt function, allowing you to melt chocolate perfectly before throwing in dry ingredients- it works a charm and is so easy without burning or overcooking.

    The design is super simple with a dial to control the speed making is so easy to use – even my 5 year old has mastered it! The “splatter guard” ensures the bench stays clean too !

  • First impressions are fabulous of this machine!

    We have never owned our own mixer before (always have to borrow the parents!) and so we were so excited to un-box this mixer and get started! Our kitchen is less than Insta-worthy but this mixer is stunning, and brings a real modern vibe to the space. Love the look and feel of the buttons and the turn dial too. Also love the weight and feel of the different attachments and particularly the guard which seems to fit and seal the bowl perfectly.

  • Sunbeam Mixer- first use

    We unboxed and used our mixer for the first time today, and I’m impressed! The mixer is a decent size, but still compact. The look and colours are stylish with “rose gold” trim for those who like to keep their mixer on the counter.
    It is extremely easy to use (my 5yo easily could use the speed dial). We used the soften function today which was great, I think the melt will be a game changer! The instruction manual provided a quick guide to which mixer head we needed and the mixer mixed the smoothest cookie dough I have ever made!

  • The perfect mixer does exist!

    The Sunbeam MIXMASTER® HEATSOFT PLANETARY MIXER is an absolute game changer. It quickly softens butter and brings cream cheese to room temperature which is a huge time saver. It can also melt butter and chocolate- without burning it! All of this also means you use less bowls and there’s less clean up. I give this mixer a 10/10.

  • Looks beautiful and has everything you could want

    Before reviews on softening butter, I wanted to show you closely what the mixer looks like. It’s so pretty and the colour looks perfect in the kitchen. Apologies my video is in selfie mode so it is all reversed but I think you get the idea. On first impressions it looks perfect, all the attachments you need, dough hook, spatula scraper beater, normal hard beater and whisk. The heat splash guard is ideally used when softening or melting to keep the heat in. subscribe to see more videos on this mixer.

  • Unboxing the Sunbeam Heatsoft Stand Mixer

    The Sunbeam Heatsoft stand mixer makes baking so much quicker and easier. It cuts down on time because you don’t need to wait for your butter to soften -it can do that for you. It melts chocolate without burning it and the mixing is handfree. It also means less dishes because you only use the one bowl. I can’t wait to try a cake in it next.

  • Never burn chocolate again.

    I always avoid any type of baking or food prep that involves melting chocolate because I ALWAYS burn it. I’ve tried all the methods and still manage to burn it every time. Burnt chocolate is gross. When I heard that the @sunbeam_anz MIXMASTER® HEATSOFT PLANETARY MIXER melted chocolate and that it was impossible to burn it, I knew I had to have one. I was so lucky to be selected to review it for you guys. I decided to test it with one of my favourites -Malteser Slice. The mixer made making this recipe so easy! It melted the butter for me and the chocolate all in the one bowl. And the chocolate melted perfectly first try!
    Here’s the recipe:

    125 g butter
    395 g sweetened condensed milk
    2 tbs cocoa powder
    250 g plain sweet biscuits like Arnotts Marie
    2 cups (60g) rice bubbles
    280 g Maltesers
    200 g white chocolate
    2tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil/copha, melted (optional)

    Line a baking tray with baking paper.
    Put the the butter, condensed milk and cocoa into the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt you can whisk until smooth. Use the heat guard to keep the heat in while mixing.
    Crush biscuits.
    Stir the crushed biscuits, rice bubbles and 1 cup halved Maltesers (leave the remaining Maltesers for decorating the top of the slice) through the melted butter/sweeteened condensed milk and cocoa mixture. Mix until completely combined.
    Press firmly into tray.
    Put the white chocolate and Copha in the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt stir on setting number 1 until smooth and melted.
    Pour over slice.
    Press the remaining Maltesers into the chocolate.
    Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    My 3 favourite features are:
    1. Melting chocolate without being able to burn it
    2. Softening butter
    3. The mixer being a stand so that your hands are free while it’s mixing.
    I absolutely love it.

  • Great for biscuits!

    When my son asks to make biscuits I use to have to say no, as the butter was never out softened and ready to go and biscuits never turn out the same if I melt the butter in the microwave. Fortunately with this mixer that isn’t a problem. So when my son asked to make biscuits today I had no reason to say no with the mix masters heat technology that softens the butter as it beats it. It worked a treat and the biscuits turned out amazing. In addition I love that the beater actually scrapes down the sides as it beats. My old mix master didn’t quite reach the sides and I had to constantly stop the machine and manually scrape the sides down.

  • Absolutely love it.

    I am in love with this mixer. It does the job so much better compared to my old name brand mixer with the added benefit of the best functions. No more do I have to worry about planning ahead to soften the butter nor do I have to risk over melting chocolate in the microwave or using multiple things to melt it on the stove. This mixer ticks all the right boxes for me.

  • Its a winner!

    This fab looking Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft mixer is my new favorite and is a family friendly kitchen appliance!
    ! I love baking so decided to try Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer.
    The white mixer (I have a white theme happening in the kitchen!) and its a great! I can leave the mixer on and prepare other ingredients so it cuts my prep time in half! I love how easy to clean it is and the attachments that comes with it. The cakes I have made with this have been perfect! It also looks great on the kitchen counter. It’s adjustable speeds make it easy to change the density and texture of the mixture. With Sunbeam’s HeatSoft™ stand mixer, you can take the guesswork out and reduce extra prep time that comes with using a stove or a microwave.
    Simply in love with the innovative feature. The innovative HeatSoft™ Technology is the new way to mix and melt all in one! Soften fridge cold butter or melt chocolate while mixing, in one simple step for faster and easier baked goods. My boys also loves it and said The Soften & Melt heat selections are just fantastic and they really love the LED light too. It saves time and makes baking that much more enjoyable!
    This has helped with saving time in the kitchen. I love the colour and the look of the product, it matches everything else in my kitchen. I particularly like the large size of the bowl, made it easy to keep everything clean.
    Great value and I will be the baking queen soon enough!

  • Final review and ultimate test - we love it!

    We were lucky to have our friends 25th wedding anniversary and vow renewal literally the week after we received the mixer – so it got a real workout making this 4 layer semi-naked chocolate cake! Easiest cake I’ve ever made thanks to the soften feature and intense speed for whipping up icing making it light (in both texture and colour!). Thank you for the opportunity MoM and Sunbeam!

  • The Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft is a family friendly kitchen appliance!

    We’ve had the Mixmaster for a week now and finally had chance to get cooking after sharing our first impressions a few days ago! Our little man loved helping me to get the right attachment set up and changing the settings to melt our butter and make pancakes for our ritual Saturday morning breakfast! The Mixmaster made sure the butter was smooth (yet not hot) and so mixed beautifully when flour and other ingredients were added. Best part was that our little man could add the other ingredients safely and easily using the chute!

    The Sunbeam Heatsoft mixer is the first mix master we’ve owned, and I wish we had got one sooner! I really love how simple the design is, so easy for anyone to use- the booklet is handy too if you’re not sure which accessory to attach !
    I usually bake with my two daughters and am so impressed with how clean the bench is now we are using the mixer – the splash guard ensures most ingredients are contained in the bowl and the heat/soften feature minimises the number of utensils needed when baking!

  • This stand mixer is next level genius!

    I absolutely love the new Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer. Being able to bake with cold ingredients straight from the fridge is amazing. And not having to worry about burning chocolate when melting
    and tempering it has really given me the
    confidence to attempt more difficult
    recipes I’d usually shy away from.

  • Sunbeam Mixer

    We’ve been using the mixer for a while now and it continues to impress!

    I love that for most recipes all ingredients can be thrown in and the mixer does all the work!! Especially the melt function, allowing you to melt chocolate perfectly before throwing in dry ingredients- it works a charm and is so easy without burning or overcooking.

    The design is super simple with a dial to control the speed making is so easy to use – even my 5 year old has mastered it! The “splatter guard” ensures the bench stays clean too !

  • First impressions are fabulous of this machine!

    We have never owned our own mixer before (always have to borrow the parents!) and so we were so excited to un-box this mixer and get started! Our kitchen is less than Insta-worthy but this mixer is stunning, and brings a real modern vibe to the space. Love the look and feel of the buttons and the turn dial too. Also love the weight and feel of the different attachments and particularly the guard which seems to fit and seal the bowl perfectly.

  • I’ll never burn chocolate again!

    I was so impressed with the melt function and how perfectly it tempered the chocolate and kept it from setting while I was coating biscuits and strawberries. I’ve had a few problems with melted chocolate before but now I’ll never have any trouble again with the Sunbeam Heatsoft Mixer.

  • Excellent quality, stylish, sturdy and easy to use

    Our first use of the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoftTM Planetary Mixer was to test out the Melt heat setting to melt chocolate to coat some shortbread fingers and I was very impressed. The chocolate melted easily and consistently and stayed liquid without setting before we were finished. And I love that you cannot burn chocolate in here either, which means I’ll be attempting more challenging bakes using tempered chocolate now, something I’ve struggled with many times before.

    I also like it’s size, it’s not too bulky and it’s stylish presentation looks great displayed on the kitchen bench.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • i buy this for family they love the brand and the taste of sandhurst and the different flavors and range to choose from and i find it great value for money, i re-use the jars when im done with for small items in the house.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

    Reply

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
