KitchenAid’s new walnut stand mixer is indeed as impractical as it is beautiful.

The $700 Evergreen edition of the iconic kitchen appliance is apparently not recommended for whipping eggs, as Ellen Cushing discovered in this delightful takedown of the gadget where she compares it to an engagement ring:

“Both are expensive status symbols generally acquired in the spring of one’s life; both are of limited use and enduring popularity; both are signifiers of domestic attainment; both are things people excitedly post to Instagram.”

The new KitchenAid adds a gorgeous wooden bowl to the classic appliance, cementing its role as more status symbol than stand mixer.
