Kenwood kitchen machine: working with attachments

Oh, I get it. I have a separate Kenwood combine and there is both steel and plastic.

By virtue of my work, I need to take care of my hands. So for me the processor is a godsend. And what is important is that everything around is clean. In season, the high speed shredder is indispensable, but a little junk. The only thing that did not like the food processor to cut dry sausage. The cube is good, but there is no way to boiled potatoes, but the fresh cube is beyond competition. My conclusion is if you eat salads in basins and often, and there are still many blanks, then a cube and a high-speed grater are needed. If there is no canning plant, then a high-speed one and a cube are not needed, but the processor is all clean and tidy

Yes, I didn't like cutting dry sausage either. More precisely, somehow it did not work out and I decided not to try further. Although ..... maybe just thicker to try. Maybe someone cut it? How? Something like a slicer will work?
And yes, everything is clean. With a spatula I scrape everything into a salad bowl and great.
For canning, I left the Bosch Mum, there, just like a shinokuka grater, everything immediately flies into the basin. And it's a little junk too. But quickly, I give them a shredded cabbage for my aunt.

And I have never used an ice cream maker for its intended purpose. It serves as the second bowl. Now I've salted cabbage in it (according to Tumanchik's recipe, just 3 liters of water and cabbage forks)

No, well, okay, I haven't used the cup yet, but I'm thinking about this question)))))
I've already driven the ice cream maker several times, well, I have an ice cream lover)))))

I put in the second biscuit for today, and here's what I want to say while it is baking

Soufleika is a thing!
I mixed flour on (1) (this is the induction mode), the minimum seemed to be a faster speed. I sprinkled it on a spoon, nothing fell out, simply gorgeous. Better flexi intervenes, and not worse than with hands.

[Miranda]

Miranda, there is another button with a circular arrow that simulates manual intervention - just opposite the "P" button

[Olga VB]

Girls! Olga VB, Miranda, this arrow is also incomprehensible to me

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, yes, I know about the arrow, but it was so jerky, but I wanted it smoothly. Here is (1) - a great mode for prompting. It hasn't fallen at all, a good biscuit, and the second (or rather, the first) would have come out if it hadn't flowed out under the ring.

No, there is not in jerks, there are the slowest revs, exactly one and a half circles - very convenient, you can not control it. Usually, for these one and a half turns, everything interferes, but sometimes it is necessary a second time. But the 1 in the circle also gives a rather low speed, it's also convenient, you just need to control it.

[Miranda]

Soufleika is a thing!

So we must take it. Thank you, Miranda

Usually, for these one and a half turns, everything interferes, but sometimes it is necessary a second time.

I'll have to try this button again.
I pressed it somehow, but I intervened flexi, I didn't really like it. But with a soufflea, there may be a different effect.

So we must take it.

I even wanted to shoot a video, so I liked it.
Maybe then I'll take it off somehow.

Doubted, because biscuits are not often, maybe 1-2 times a month. But even with that kind of load, it's good to have. Moreover, this is almost the cheapest attachment from Kenwood.

I tried to throw a spoon in front of the nozzle, and behind. Until I realized how I liked it more, but it mixed well as it is.

[Dear Kenwoods]

Dear Kenwoods! Help determine the kitchen scale. My Mirtas began to lie to something. I want Kenwood.
Offers - DS 401 (white) - for 550 g, DS 400 (black) - 755 g, AT850 (white, but with a rubber mat) - 1100 g. In all three, the parameters are the same, the first options differ in color, the third has a rug, but it is twice as expensive, not because of the rug.

Why on the subject of kitchen machines? there is a topic about scales
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=420.1120

[Pchela maja]

Why on the subject of kitchen machines?

Pchela maja, some KM Kenwood are equipped with scales, for example 23 or 63, I decided that the scales are also a nozzle. I bring you Pchela maja and apologies to all members of the forum.

[Peter Push]

Peter Push, in principle, Kenwood does bundle some models with weights, and they are sold on Kenwood's websites in the attachments section.

And they have a nozzle name - AT850

They have two types, or rather the same - which with a silicone pad with a designated circle under the bowl are considered a nozzle, and exactly the same, without a silicone blotch, are considered common.

As for me, what with a blotch, what without - are expensive, and are no different from just the scales of many companies with a weight of up to 10 kg. and long auto-shutdown. Therefore, you can see any which you looked at in appearance and price.

Personally, I do not weigh in a Kenwood bowl, because of induction it is very heavy and large. Not convenient. Although, before buying KM, I thought that I would buy the scales somehow, because they have a well-thought-out rug on them, it is convenient to weigh in a bowl.

It can be convenient in an additional plastic bowl. Although also 500g. flour at the bottom of the 6-liter will be

[Miranda]

Before buying KM, I thought that I would buy the scales somehow, because they have a well-thought-out rug, it is convenient to weigh in a bowl.

Miranda, so I fell for this rug, and the twofold difference in price made me ask for help from like-minded people. Thank you for your opinion expressed in time, as always thoughtful and objective.

[Peter Push]

Peter Push, and I, too, once asked about these scales and someone has them. If you got the kit to Kenwood or is somehow not expensive, then why not. But the reviews for them are the same as for 2-3 times cheaper. That is, they are good, yes, but almost no one weighs in the bowl and why overpay by buying separately?

And the flour is not sifted. I weigh different types of flour in a bowl so that there is so much in total, and then I sift from that bowl into the bowl where I used to put the wet ingredients.

What else to weigh? Butter, which then beat? Or is there cream? No, weighing all this in a bowl is not fun, which means that the rug on the scales is just beautiful, which means that any scales can be used.Moreover, there is a round mat for induction to put a hot bowl, so you can put it on any scales if you weigh I want to

[Miranda]

MirandaThanks again, your opinions are valuable to me.

Girls, good evening! Tell me, is the sieve smooth on one side and slightly rough on the other? I bought a sieve and I don't understand whether it's a marriage or not.

[Nadezhda Valerievna]

Nadezhda Valerievna, yes, both discs are smooth on one side and rough on the other. The instructions have a description of which side to use for what.

[LisaNeAlisa]

LisaNeAlisa, I thought the rough side is stronger than the rough
Thank you for reassuring me.

[Nadezhda Valerievna]

Nadezhda Valerievna, do not worry, it wipes perfectly) I have a sieve at work all summer.

Dear forum users,
What is the difference between AT320 and AT320A tips?
the same question about meat grinders AT 950 and AT950A .....
With the A index, it's cheaper. What's the catch?

This question torments me: There is a Kenwood available, well-equipped with nozzles. Do you need a hand mixer for this, or will it bustle around idle? I am thinking whether to buy or not buy ... The kitchen has already run out of space. Gadgets have nowhere to fold ...

[anuta-k2002]

anuta-k2002, I often use the manual one, I need it, if it fails, I will take a new one.

[anuta-k2002]

anuta-k2002, needed. I have 2 large planetary ones with all nozzles, but I also often use the manual one. Especially when a small portion of something is lazy to dirty a large bowl, and when a small amount, a large combine will not take that amount.So everything is actively used

[anuta-k2002]

anuta-k2002, I need. I use a hand blender for sauces, mayonnaise, mashed soups; potato grinder for potato, fruit, vegetable puree; chopper for small things when a large volume is not needed.
Sometimes, if you need to whip 1 protein, I use a mixer, for a small amount of cream - a whisk.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, I forgot to write, there is a blender with a whisk. But they say he does not beat as much as a mixer.

[Belka13]

AT320 and AT320A

It seems to be none.
Somehow I tried to solve the mystery of the letter A, but failed. Although, it means something.

But also in the stores they will call them names. I saw a sieve-rub called a meat grinder.

***

Do you need a hand mixer for this, or will it bustle around idle? I think to buy everything or not to buy ...

It was my mixer that went to the mezzanine in 3-4 months.
But! This is because the hand blender has a whisk. But I use a submersible blender with its attachments.

I would say so - a blender for small things, for mayonnaise, for small portions, a whisk.

He already seems to be a mixer for a medium portion. Mixer hooks are definitely not needed anymore. But the whisk ... The whisk of a blender copes with a micro portion, and Kenwood already copes with the middle one.

But already how the whisk of the blender is whipped, it depends on the blender, it seems to me.

***
And from today, that's what I have!


Thank you so much Belka13!
And the Russian Post - 10 days of travel Gorno-Altaysk - Maima - Barnaul - Novosibirsk - Yaroslavl. Quickly and accurately, everything is intact. But also Belka13 packed perfectly!

I will test it on Sunday.
In the meantime, I will reread the topic once again, with an emphasis on the mill.

But if someone tells about legumes at the mill, I will be grateful.

[Anya]

Anya, needed! I like to whip butter more by hand, Kesha takes a long time to get around. Cream is also more convenient by hand. Wet meringues or whites for airy sneakers too.

And the last time I held the mixer in my hands was about 7 years ago. As I bought Kesha, I gave it away. I never even got the thought "what a pity that he is not there." I don’t bake to order, so there’s probably no need.

[Anya]

Anya, needed! I like to whip butter more by hand, Kesha takes a long time to get around. Cream is also more convenient by hand. Wet meringues or whites for airy sneakers too.

I'm right in shock All of the above I do ONLY in Kenwood. At most, I can whip the mascarpone with a simple blender with a whisk (but you can mix it with your hands, to be honest). I can't imagine squirrels in anything other than Kenwood.

[Kara]

Kara, I'm surprised too. And then what can Kenwood do?

I use a whisk from a hand blender, well, 2 eggs per omelet, in the morning, so that quickly, do not wash the bowl, etc.

And from today, that's what I have!

I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! For me - an irreplaceable thing. And now, with the acquisition of Phillips (pasta machine), so in general. I use it to turn buckwheat, rice, cornflakes and oatmeal into flour perfectly. Soba is now a frequent guest on our table. Well, rice noodles too

I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! For me - an irreplaceable thing.

Thank you!
I hope it will become irreplaceable for me too.

I'll have to try soba on the noodle cutter.
And which cornflakes are sweet? I didn't understand which ones.
Have you tried legumes? I want chickpea flour and bean flour. Only, I think, the beans will first need to be in the grinder.

[Natali S.]

I now also have a mill thanks to Natali S. A food processor with an ice cream maker will soon arrive from Germany and there will be a complete set

No, I buy corn grits (well, from which porridge is cooked) and make flour from it. By the way, corn grits cost 25-30 rubles / kg, and corn flour - 150 rubles / kg.
And, by the way, just a couple of months ago I tried to cook porridge from corn flour in a little Redik. I'm just delighted, it turns out like semolina, only corn. But, the truth is, I mixed it a couple of times in the process. I never thought that corn porridge in this manner would be so delicious !!

[Kara]

Kara, mine just love cornbread. Now I will grind flour.Saving

and there will be a complete set

Wow! Congratulations!

Are all-all attachments straight?
Or everyone who wanted to?

No, I buy corn grits (well, from which porridge is cooked) and make flour from it.

Ahh, okay.

and corn flour - 150 rubles / kg

In the fall in Auchan I bought it for 40 or 45 rubles. kg.
But she herself was surprised, usually 2-2.5 times more expensive. A little later I will show the picture of the labels.

corn flour, cook porridge in a small Redik I'm just delighted, it turns out like semolina, only corn

I make polenta, which is corn porridge, in Kesh directly, because it would be good to interfere there in the process all the way.

Oh, I will be very grateful I used to take Mistral, but it became very expensive for them

I'm right in shock

Perhaps my volumes are not the same, but beat 100-150 grams of butter in a small bowl (mayonnaise jar) by hand faster than in Kenwood, then I put the cream in the refrigerator, if necessary, not in a large bowl, it takes up less space. If, of course, do meringues - here I trust 2 Kesha squirrels. Before buying a manual one, I did everything in Kenwood, there is something to compare with. Probably all the same we are all different

[Miranda]

Miranda, whatever she wanted.

[Kara]

Kara, sokolnicheskaya
I didn’t see it in ordinary stores, but in Auchan I was surprised by the price. But that was in October-November + -



there is still a fine grind, I have it, fine

Added Saturday 28 Jan 2017 01:46

I don't have everything I want yet.
But we will collect, we will wait

It's cool that you have already gathered everything that you wanted.

Girls, can you grind almonds for macarons at the cereal mill? Or what can you do? After all, the mini-chopper will not cope with this task?

[Air]

Air, the mill is not oily.
The chopper will do just fine if the almonds are dry, or even better, a little bit frozen.

I use my hand blender (there is a nozzle and two glasses with a knife, both small and large) to grind this and that. I beat small amounts and rarely, so I do not use Kenwood for this, because it is lazy to wash a huge bowl.
I use the mill when I need to make coarse wheat or rye. Fine flour does not work there, but only something like thin flakes, and even if you grind the same portion 3 three times.

[Air]

Air, Nina, for pasta, I ground almonds on a low-speed fine grater. Then she sifted. Finely crushed.

Added Saturday 28 Jan 2017 08:40 AM

Arlei, Leila, that is, you first got Kesha, and then you bought yourself a hand mixer?
Why don't you whip the caches with butter? For the last time, I whipped 75g butter onto a cake with a flexi nozzle. Whipped well. Of course, this cannot be stored in the refrigerator, but for an hour it will cool down, I often put the bowl in the refrigerator.

[Anya]

Anya, yes, at first I bought Kesha, then I bought a manual one, so that I could make wet meringues and fondant (a blender attachment), and if I have no time, I beat flexi with butter, but manual is still better. I also do icing, very little sometimes, for a couple of gingerbreads to decorate cakes, it is more convenient for me to manually control the consistency.

Tell me, so as not to look for flour for the dumplings dough, so as not to boil down and fall apart, can you take any or you need a certain one?

[Paul I]

Paul I, I make Pavel from ordinary white flour. In the cache with a hook, 500 g of flour, 1 egg, 1 tsp of salt, 200 g of cold water. I knead for a few minutes, then take it off the hook and let it stand for about 20 minutes. I do this two more times. At the end, at high speed. The dough is quite dry. Place in a saucepan for 2 hours and cover. The dough will become soft and elastic. Roll out on a dough roller 2.3-4 times, 5, 3-4 times and 7.2 times. Nothing will burst or fall apart. So I make dumplings and khinkali.

[Paul I]

Paul I, today I made dumplings, took flour in half with durum flour Italian semolu. I took it to the Metro. The dough does not boil over, it is hard.In general, I experiment with proportions and every time I get a different dough.

Paul, it depends on gluten. If it's okay, then the dough will be good too. And we develop gluten with a good mix, alternating with rest.
You can knead by hand, using the technique, or by kneading it, or by folding and rolling it multiple times.
But after the first kneading, it is necessary to give the dough a "rest" for about 20 minutes, that is, so that the flour moistened with liquid starts to work, to develop gluten.
Good luck!
