STIR TOWER ACCESSORY (sold separately)
The KST4054 Stir Tower works like your own personal sous chef to
help keep things moving, no matter what you are cooking. A specially
designed silicone flip-and-stir paddle and scraping blade keep food
circulating, allowing for even heating and consistent mixing, all at the
touch of a switch.
Available in a suite of colors to match your Multi-Cooker, the Stir
Tower connects directly to the Multi-Cooker—no separate cords to
get in the way!
For recipes featuring the special mixing and stirring talents
of the Stir Tower, look for this icon in the Multi-Cooker
e-cookbook, or visit www.KitchenAid.com/quickstart.
