Had a stand mixer's motor burn out at 2 AM last Saturday

Was about to start a double batch of brioche when the KitchenAid started smoking and seized up. Ended up finishing the dough by hand for 45 minutes until my arms gave out. Anyone else keep a backup hand method for when the machines fail?

Used to think hand mixing was just for show. Not anymore.

Wait, are you saying you hand mix everything now? I tried that once and ended up with a lumpy mess because I was too impatient with the folding. It definitely takes more practice than the videos make it look, that's for sure.
