Get the "Coated" hook. The "Burnished" is just cheap aluminum.
By Leslie Estes
5 stars for being a great spiral design; 1 star for not being made out of a more durable and healthier stainless steel.
This hook fits my 6 quart KitchenAid Mixer. Unfortunately, these reviews are not all distinguishing between the "burnished" steel and the "coated" hooks. There is a big difference. As mentioned by a previous reviewer, I would also like to see a stainless steel alternative!
Having been a professional baker for many years (I owned an natural cookie company that I have since sold) I use both the Kitchen Aid 6QT and 4.5QT mixers for small-batch product development and home use. I LOVE MY KITCHEN AID MIXERS, but not the attachments.
I do not recommend the burnished steel because it is really just cheap, toxic, aluminum. Last week the Burnished hook and flat beaters were accidentally used by someone and put into my dishwasher at home by mistake. They oxidized so badly that both are now a complete loss. After trying to clean them with various products and methods I called KitchenAid to see if there was anything I could do. They said "buy a replacement". Once the finish is destroyed the aluminum literally rubs off black onto your hands, your towels and your food. You risk getting aluminum (lots!) into your food product which is extremely unhealthy. Until they offer a stainless steel option I recommend the spiral "coated" hook to avoid the problems with the burnished hook. The coating seems to be some sort of durable (albeit still potentially toxic) plastic coating with metal underneath. But it is the lesser of the two evils.
I have used the coated hook and the coated flat beater for ten years and one problem was a spot on the bottom of the beater that wore through the coating to the aluminum metal beneath. I learned this can be avoided by making sure it's not hitting the bowl anywhere and you can call KitchenAid for help in making this adjustment. I do have some health concerns regarding exactly WHERE this missing plastic went. Since I never saw pieces of plastic in the bowl I must assume we ingested it. Although BPA (bisphenol-A) may be the best known, I have learned all plasticizers are toxic hormone disruptors and carcinogenic. This is another strong argument for stainless steel.
Another point worth noting is a quick comparison between the two different styles of dough hooks offered by Kitchen Aid: the spiral (sold here) and the C-shaped hook. I find the dough quickly rides up to the top of the C Hook no matter what I do so the dough never gets kneaded properly. Although the dough will work its way up the spiral hook also when kneading a small volume of dough in the 6-qt mixer(under 2 lbs)it takes a lot longer to get there so it's not a big deal - I just stop from time-to-time to move it back to the bottom of the bowl. And larger volumes of dough do not "climb" the spiral hook at all. The spiral hook is the same style as most professional's use on their upright mixers and what I used in my bakehouse with an 80 qt mixer. It provides a much better and uniform kneading action.
Based on a couple of comments I received I want to clarify: please be aware the hook reviewed here WILL ONLY FIT THE 6 QUART MIXER.
In summary: Until a stainless steel alternative is available I recommend the spiral plastic "Coated" hook instead of the spiral aluminum "Burnished" hook because it is dishwasher-friendly and the plastic is potentially less toxic than the aluminum. Both finishes appear to now be a buying option on this product page. When I originally wrote the review in 2009 the coated hook was not available on amazon, so I have updated the review as of 8-20-13 to reflect the change.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll respond as best I can. Hope this helps. If it does please consider clicking YES for "was this review helpful?". Thanks!

New Spiral dough hook,
By Pete
I love making different kinds of breads, wet doughs and stiff doughs. My old kitchen aid had the "C" style hook and I did not like the way it kneaded bread dough. I purchased the new 5qt spiral and the dough does not climb up the hook!! Chaazam! I think it's meant for the newer 5qt "profesional" mixer but it works quite well on the old one. I did notice the mixer does get HOT because it's working the dough so well. I dont put as much dough in the bowl anymore. So far I've saved from buying a new mixer, so let's see how much longer this 10yo one lasts! Good Luck.

Mqajor Improvement
By B. Fernandez
Dough doesn't climb up on the mixing tool and it actually kneads the dough much better giving you a smoother dough (you can feel this difference). When I added ingredients I noticed they get more thoroughly mixed and do not sit on the side of the bowl. The older device was more of a mixing tool than a kneader but it did the job. This does it better.
