SideSwipe Blade Keeps Mixer Bowls Clean
The SideSwipe Mixer Blade is an aftermarket addition for head-tilt stand mixers which adds silicone fins that keep the sides of the bowl scrapped clean, preventing wasted dough, but also precluding the joys of licking the bowl.
It's $25. Versions for bowl-lift KitchenAids, Cuisinart, and Kenwood mixers are expected next year.

Can't wait for the product that auto-scrapes the SideSwipe blade. IOW, doesn't this product (video link awol) just transfer the "excess" to itself?
BTW, the comment above was not allowed to be posted anonymously. Some bullspit error message of "Text entered was wrong. Try again." That's pretty lame.
This looks to be great for liquids and semi-solids, but I probably wouldn't use it for doughs and meatloaf mixing.
I would hate to peel the silicone off the beater by having too stiff a mixture in the bowl.
I was just thinking about the hardiness of this thing myself - if it would stay together mixing some tough dough. At $25, I'd totally try it out, though.
