Kitchen machine Kenwood (2)

In Kesh, it makes sense to cook potatoes if you are going to make mashed potatoes, otherwise it makes no sense.
At the same time, you can cut it small, pour water not to the top, that is, it is not necessary that all the potatoes be covered, I only fill in half or a little more.
Cook under a lid, so that in addition what is not in water, steam passes, the cooking speed includes 3 in a circle, the last counterclockwise, that is, the one where it rotates for 5 seconds and costs 30 seconds. I set the temperature to about 110 * C.
I put the K-shku attachment right away. The cooking time is about 15 minutes after boiling, but you also need to look at the potatoes, not all are quickly boiled.
It is better to remove the lid 2-3 minutes before the end of cooking, and set the switch to minimum (1 in a circle), then excess water will evaporate and the potatoes will not need to be drained. Add milk and / or butter to a small amount of the remaining water (optional, if desired) and switch the speed to minimum (clockwise) until the milk boils.
Then turn off the heating, close the bowl with the lid and increase the speed. To be honest, I don't remember until what time. I don't look at this pen at all, I just twist it to the position that seems appropriate to me, but there are recommendations on this in the instructions and the recipe book.
It is important that there is not a lot of splashing there. When everything becomes more or less homogeneous, you can increase the speed in order to break the last lumps and bring the whole mass to splendor.
More difficult to describe than to do.
Once you go through this most complicated () procedure, everything will become clear.
For example, I don't even look into the recipe book, I just cook what I'm used to and the way I'm used to, only I don't stir or whisk myself, but I trust Kesha. That is, I just "translate" my recipes into CM.
Good luck!

Super detailed, I'll try.
If you put the nozzle right away, it will also stir the still hard potatoes.
Convenient with water evaporation.
... before the milk boils ... - why boil it? Pour from a bag to liquefy and soften the dish.
How can it boil if absorbed immediately.
According to the recipe - just a little bit, 50 ml. for 1 kg of potatoes. Need more? How many?
Thank you

[Iskatel-X]

Iskatel-X, I boil any milk, in addition, if the KM is turned off earlier, then: milk from the refrigerator, rubbing, whipping, transferring to a cold plate ... The puree will be cold or, at least, not hot enough. Cold potatoes do not absorb milk well, do not swell. And if there is also oil from the freezer ...
And if also the K-shka was not "cooked" with potatoes, but dropped there cold

About the nozzle. If you put it on right away, then, yes, it will slowly stir the hard potatoes first. What's wrong? It will cook more evenly, because we do not have everything in water, but some for steamat, rotation is needed.

About milk. We love a fairly soft puree, that is, a fairly liquid one. A hot potato absorbs a lot of milk, even if it is almost jelly, if it stands a little, it absorbs almost any amount of milk, swells and becomes quite dense.
So for us 50ml per 1 kg is very little. I pour almost the same amount of water as was originally, that is, to cover at least half the potatoes.
And I get not just crumpled potatoes, but almost potato cream - tender, airy - just a song!

[Olga]

Olga
I will try according to your recipe, because, as indeed, when mixing, I managed to cool down.
I will increase the milk.
How much oil per 1 kg of potatoes is optimal.
According to the original recipe, 75g per 1kg is not too much? Moreover, we increase milk.

Cooking time - about 15 minutes after boiling

Looking at the display (100 degrees), or when steam appears?

you need to look at potatoes

Open - "feel"?
You can't see anything through the steam, and you still can't understand.
Thank you

PS A useful recipe! You can use it as a separate topic in recipes. Many people love and cook mashed potatoes!

Personally, I don’t add butter at all, but my husband already adds to his plate.

And so, and so you can watch. Only with potatoes and salt will the water boil at about 105-108 * C.
And you don't need to feel anything: as soon as the first "rags" appear, you can open and cook. Not so much steam, and not so deep a well that nothing could be seen there.
But what's the point in such a unit if you stand over it all the time?
Therefore, you can put 17 minutes at once, then 3 minutes without a lid - and you will be happy.
In extreme cases, if it is not ready yet, it will be cooked in milk. It will be more than 20 minutes. If the potatoes are not cut very coarsely, then during this time it will turn into mashed potatoes by itself, only the whipping will remain.

A separate recipe is also good if not already. This is what is called the base case.
Will you do it?

Recipes are published by Masters like you or by moderators.
The Masters are then approached with questions, clarifications, ...
I only cook according to the recipes of the Masters. And ... I adapt for myself, adding spices.
Thank you

While you were answering - added questions to the previous post.

and I added
By the way, it won't be long before you give advice on Kesha (and not only!), Like a real guru, so why not start with mashed potatoes?

Key phrase

The Masters are then asked questions and clarifications.

Answering requires experience that goes beyond a single recipe.

I put the nozzle K-shku immediately

Ol, enlighten me, does it start spinning right away?

Ol, I'm sorry I haven't read it to the end.

Heats to the right, not to the left.

her, but what about a heated biscuit, but how to knead the custard dough at medium speed (that is, more than just stirring) so that no lumps form? but how to beat mashed potatoes without turning off the temperature? her, it is impossible that the left does not warm

[Maria]

Maria, thanks for the description of the processor attachments and the speed grater

Turn the head lift lever clockwise and raise the mixer head until it stops.
When checked - raised. It doesn't work anymore.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

I didn’t quite understand, I’m lately slow-witted, the head of the kneader does not rise until it clicks? is not fixed in any way? I only had this if something was in the back, for example, my head was banging against a nearby cabinet. And it opens very easily, very easily fixed on the leg and just as easily removed.

Girls and boys, tell me, if the house has multicooker, pressure cooker (or both in one unit) + a good oven, well, after all, you don't need Kesha with induction? Or am I still missing something?

I don't have a multicooker or a pressure cooker, I don't cook in the cache (otherwise my husband will eat me with giblets for electricity). But I am very pleased that I bought Inocentia with induction. Despite the fact that I still do not understand why my hook does not want to make a bun out of yeast dough. I'm already thinking maybe I'm kneading for too long, because there is a moment when a bun will gather from the walls and bang, the dough is smeared all over the bowl again.

Hatch cover.
I ask if it will not melt, because I'm going to cook, 140 degrees.
With a lid - where does the steam go? Or does the hatch need to be opened?
Thank you

it will definitely not melt, after all, it is specially designed to steam with it, and then you do not need to open the lid

However, next time I will cook potatoes on the stove, so that the device will not be wasted, but kneaded with a mixer.

I do just that, firstly it is cheaper (we have gas), and secondly, I now make mashed potatoes purely on milk, i.e.I boil potatoes on the stove, add only milk to the bowl with a spatula and turn on the heating, when it heats up, I transfer the boiled potatoes, add a piece of butter and mix and beat everything together, at the end I turn off the temperature and stir without it

How many minutes to cook on the stove? In order not to digest?
To "feel" with a knife - you can't feel it.

Does it bother you to check the potatoes with a knife? even more so for mashed potatoes if. for me well, let it boil a little, it will be easier to puree

By the way, girls, a question about custard.
After the cream at the bottom, I get a slightly burnt sediment (it did not burn out, but it seemed to stick), is it all for everyone, or should the scapula be lowered lower? it's just that she squeaks at first, I'm terribly disgusting, so I think it is necessary to torture her or not

did not quite understand

I drowned the "pimp" - it worked!

I drowned the "pimp" - it worked!

maybe she left you just the main thing is that everything is fine now.
I don't quite understand yet how the cap is removed from the head, to open the mechanism for a meat grinder, a dough roll, etc. but I don't need to, I'll start asking in a couple of weeks)

There is a lever under it, bend it and you will be happy, the cap itself will fall into your hand)))

There is a lever under it, bend it and you will be happy, the lid itself will fall into your hand)))

yeah, so I thought correctly, I just tried to bend it, but it was so tight that I was afraid that I would break off something and did not pull further

This is the low speed drive control lever.
I haven't figured out how to use it yet.

Low speed drive cover - Pull slightly and turn slightly - can be easily removed.
It may not be correct, however, it is removed.

There is a lever on the lower right side of the low speed drive plug. Press it slightly for the lower part counterclockwise - it can be easily removed. All this is described and drawn in the instructions.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, so I thought when the rolling dough came, I would look at the instructions. If I don't understand then I'll ask

Girls!!!!! Today Kenwood 10th in the Technosila online store costs 34 thousand !!!!!

Meat grinder and juicer were stolen from the kit

According to the description, everything is in place

And in the ELECITY store the same car costs 31,000 rubles !!!!

Well, anyway, you turn on the pulse ...

not copied it ...

According to the description, everything is in place

Carefully read the description of the complete set of the juicer, NO meat grinder.

Really no
I got excited, I was wrong (c)

Svetlana-Semiletka, thank you very much for the "tip" to "Technosila" Ordered and already received Kenwood336 for 18109r. We have sent a cube cutter as a gift. Happy head over heels

Well, anyway, you turn on the pulse ...

for a heated biscuit, the pulse is not needed, the temperature is 45 degrees.
for everything else, I only keep my pulse so that the machine picks up the speed you need and then let it go, honestly I don't even know how the pulse works on stirring, it was not necessary. And just imagine, it is necessary to whip something with heating (heating) for 3-5 minutes, and that the button should be kept all the time, why then even start a heated combine, I could do that with a hand mixer over a water bath (as before did) but this is my IMHO, each one needs his own several times forgot to turn off the heating during the test

[Galina]

Galina! Wow!!!! Great !!!!
I am very glad that the information was useful !!!
Congratulations on the new things !!!!!

Thank you!!!

[Galina]

Galina, congratulations from the bottom of our hearts !!! Let Kenka serve for a long time and do not know wear and tear!
A wonderful car!

Jackdaw-CrowAnd I join in congratulations! In our regiment arrived

Svetlana-Semiletka, thank you very much for the "tip" to "Technosila" Ordered and already received Kenwood336 for 18109r. We have sent a cube cutter as a gift. Happy head over heels

Congratulations on what you've already done. I love the first delights ... So inspiring.

Spilled a cake biscuit cream whipped with a K-shaped nozzle Is this correct? Perhaps it was better with a whisk?

Is it correct?

if everything turned out, then definitely right!

[Galina]

Galina, I like it more with a whisk, but many K-shaped whisk.

Yes, the fact of the matter is that it seemed long Next time I'll try with a whisk

[Galina]

Galinahow long ?!

I kept time, but, in my opinion, the old mixer turned out faster Or maybe it just seemed Old turned on and do my own thing, but here I was sticking around, watching the process

[Galina]

Galina, usually it takes me about 10 minutes to knead the biscuit dough, and this is taking into account that I mix flour with my hands using a spatula

Well, then it's probably fine. Thanks for the information, it's hard to immediately understand what and how. Need to "fill your hand"

cream whipped with a K-shaped nozzle Is it correct? Perhaps it was better with a whisk?

depending on what kind of cream, cream, yogurt, cheese it is better to whisk with a whisk, the mass will come out faster and more luxuriantly, but butter creams are better for K-shaped.

Thank you!

I can't whip cream in kenwood. It is very difficult to control the process. Most often I interrupt them. Therefore, I beat it exclusively with an immersion blender with a whisk attachment
