Care for KitchenAid Attachments
Some of your attachments are coated and are fine to be put in the dishwasher these are white like the flat beater and dough hook. Unless you purchased a stainless steel whisk with the bowl-lift mixer then you will need to handwash your wire whip by hand or they will end up like this and you will get yucky black stuff all over the place. Yes, I speak from experience as you can see. These attachments are made from aluminum and washing them in the dishwasher causes oxidation which is that nasty black stuff.
If you have mistakenly washed your wire whip or other uncoated attachments and they are getting black stuff everywhere there is a fix for this! Put your attachment in a pot and add 2 cups of vinegar. Put in enough water to cover the neck of the attachment and boil it for 20 minutes.
Wipe it down with a clean dry rag to get more of the black stuff off and if you still have a bit then repeat the process. Mine was really oxidized and I could not get it all off but it looks way better than it did and now I don’t get black stuff on me or in my food.
Coated beater and dough hook planetary shaft attachments provided with KitchenAid stand mixers consist of a cast aluminum base material coated with a food-grade polyester based powder coating. The cast aluminum base material component elements are either US FDA Generally Regarded as Safe or as acceptable for US FDA Indirect Food Contact.
