Key benefits Keeps ingredients centered and mixing efficient: the fullcoverage pouring shield directs ingredients into the middle of the bowl so the beater reaches them quickly and mixing is more thorough. Prevents splashes and spills: the splashguard shaft cover and fully enclosed design reduce flour, sugar and liquid spray during mixing, keeping counters and clothing cleaner. Fast to install and remove: upgraded dump hood with quickrelease makes attachment and removal quick, reducing prep and cleanup time. Main features Purpose: pouring shield / splash guard for Kitchen Aid 4.5–5 quart tilthead stand mixers with stainless steel bowls. Material: made from foodgrade PC plastic for safety and durability; heat resistant for normal kitchen use. Design details: large angled ingredient slide for easy, controlled pouring; fullcoverage guard with no blind angles to minimize splatter and overflow. Fit: designed specifically for 4.5–5 qt Kitchen Aid tilthead mixers used with the stainless steel mixing bowl. Suitable only for stainless steel bowls. How it solves common problems Reduces mess from dry ingredients like flour by channeling them directly into the bowl rather than allowing them to bounce out. Makes adding liquids and small amounts of ingredients during mixing safer and neater via the wide angled pouring slide. Speeds up transitions between recipes: the quickrelease hood installs and removes in seconds for fast cleaning or storage. Typical uses Mixing dough or batter: add flour and dry ingredients without creating a cloud of dust in the kitchen. Combining wet and dry ingredients: pour oils, milk, or eggs down the angled slide without splashing the mixer. Adding small ingredients midmix: drop in seeds, chocolate chips, or flavorings while the mixer runs without stopping or opening the mixer head. Practical notes Compatibility: fits Kitchen Aid 4.5–5 qt tilthead stand mixers when using the stainless steel bowl—not compatible with other bowl types.
