Kenwood kitchen machine: working with attachments

[NatalyTeo]

NatalyTeo, Are you talking about the Flexi Beater AT502 attachment for soft mixes? Something did not find her at the office. site. Or the AT512 mixing attachment? But is she not flexy?

[Paul]

Hello everyone!
if the question arose about the FLEXI and SUSHELIKA attachments (for a bowl 4,6)
I have both of them.
there was such an opinion: the attachments are interesting, comfortable, but replaceable
it all depends on the "production" need
I am happy to mix flour into the dough with a souffle. but if you do not have it, then you can intervene with a silicone spatula, while there is a chance to get a more weightless and airy biscuit (from experience), but interspersed with unmixed flour (or my hands are growing from the wrong place)
I whip up flexi cream, but this can be done with success with the K-nozzle
maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed to me that butter, whipped with a whisk or a whisk, turns out to be more fluffy than flexi
and the mass mixed with flexi is smoother
of course, the prices for nozzles are confusing, but here, too, if possible
at one time I really wanted to have them as possession of the largest possible arsenal of Kenwood attachments
now I have cooled down a little
for me the favorite of the functionality of additional attachments is the wiping sieve

Paul, I just dabble in cakes, then rub the cream, then the berries for the Kurd, then the cottage cheese. Very fast and convenient, not comparable to a hand sieve. And someone does not need it at all. On the other hand, my mini-grinder cups will not make friends with them. So far, I only like the powder, so I made it in the coffee grinder.

Samopal, Thank you

Very fast and convenient, not comparable to a manual sieve

And what about the sieve itself? Rubbed and rusty?

Therefore, most likely, for chefs, one elastic band should also be

The seller replied, there is one elastic band, gray.
Most likely, this is a standard kit for non-induction machines. You can of course check with other vendors who sell for 3500.

Therefore, I, like many, use one (gray) for sweet dishes, the other for other meat-fish-vegetable dishes.

They will send me a gray one.
Based on this, I dare to assume that it is the usual gray, and the black, probably heat-resistant for mixing hot mixtures and is applied only to induction.

[Paul I]

Paul I, about rusts: crazy: I have Ani's sieve bought, on which claim you sent. So far, everything is OK. Basically I need a shallow disc. He's all clean. I only wash it with my hands, immediately after use, at a low speed of up to 1. What will happen next.
I have a question: do you all have to hold the sieve with your hand?

Sifting flour through a sieve for me is not comme il faut for a very long time.

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, I hold on. I'm even thinking of buying a plastic one, otherwise somehow I don't like how the aluminum bowl rub against each other.
By the way, if anyone has both, please measure them on, are they the same size? That is, if in 930m you replace only the part that is put on the bowl, will it work?

My wiping sieve runs like a hard labor every summer. It wipes tomatoes for juice and ketchup, apples and pears for jam, zucchini and eggplants for caviar, but mechanical tescom does better with cottage cheese. As I recall, I rubbed the tomatoes with my hands through an ordinary sieve - it shivers. I made 80 liters of tomato juice or more, just have time to throw out the living. Not worn out or rusted.

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, Lena, I also hold the sieve with my hand.

Added Friday 15 Apr 2016 1:08 PM

proshka, Inna, and wipe fruits and vegetables after blanching? Or do they give in raw?

Irina, yes, I boil the tomatoes after boiling for about 15 minutes, condemn them completely, and then wipe them. Apples and pears - we make juice from them in a juicer, apples or pears remain, they are the same as steamed, rub perfectly and taste of jam is wonderful. But they used to throw it away, it was too lazy to wipe it with your hands.

Not worn out or rusted.

Is it from a nozzle, or is it usual?

Rubs tomatoes for juice and ketchup, apples and pears for jam, zucchini and eggplant for caviar,

Most of these tasks are solved by a screw juicer.

Pavel, the sieve from the nozzle did not rust and did not rub off, of course. I also wipe the raspberries from the seeds on an insert with small holes, there are practically no seeds, sometimes small ones slip through, but they are not noticeable.

Pavel, the sieve from the nozzle did not rust and did not rub off, of course

It's strange, some have rusts, others don't. Can you send me a close-up photo by mail? And how long did you have it in operation? I already have a photo of rusty ones. I myself have rusted after two wipes. The impression is that they are made from different materials.

I will ask suppliers' representatives on this topic.
This is DeLongy in Moscow.

Pavel, I can't send a photo now, because it's far from home. In active operation, two summer seasons, while there are berries and vegetables for processing, at other times of the year I don't even get it. There was a case - I got it somehow, and she was covered in a yellow coating that looked like rust. I washed it with a regular detergent - the plaque disappeared. Then I remembered, put it in a box (I keep all the attachments in my own boxes), it was wet after washing. It seems that rust cannot be washed off with a simple detergent. But then there was nothing, now I try to dry it well.

Well, then, the same as everyone else. Yes it is rust, but what else could be?

[Paul I]

Paul I, yes, rust for such a price is sad at least About coolies and Kurds: I boil berries for more puree

I'll come to my mother - I'll check, but if it's rusted, can't I use it? Is it harmful? You have puzzled me ...

The question is controversial.
In principle, rust does not pose any harm to the body. You can eat. Moreover, after washing and cleaning. This is also confirmed by the manufacturer. We sent him this claim.
Another thing is that the metal, it is active towards acids and when processing fresh berries, for example, accurately nails vitamin C.
I suppose that is why they made the auger of the berry press out of plastic, and not out of metal, like a meat grinder.
But why there is a sieve of iron, and not of a stainless steel, as, for example, in a citrus juicer, is not clear.

Who used the disc vegetable cutter to make French fries?
We get it with some squiggles, and even with guiding grooves on the inside of the squiggle.

By the way, if anyone has both, please measure them on, are they the same size? That is, if in 930m you replace only the part that is put on the bowl, will it work?

I had both. Plastic is much shorter in height. You can try to reduce the length of the pin at the wiper blade (tighten the nut), but it is not a fact that this adjustment will be sufficient. It seemed to me that the blades are too pressed against the sieve and I did not dare to use it.

They will send me a gray one. Based on this, I dare to assume that it is the usual gray, and the black, probably heat-resistant for mixing hot mixtures and is applied only to induction.

Both rubber bands are absolutely equal and both are heat-resistant - at least those that come with induction CM.

[Zima]

Zima, Nadezhda, the nut was tightened, everything was O "K!"

[Jiri]

Jiri, Did you adjust the blades from the AT930 nozzle under the AT992 base?

Good day! Please help me figure out the attachments, otherwise I got completely confused ... Attachment food processor AT 640, Attachment-slicer KENWOOD AT 340 and Attachment grater-slicer KENWOOD AT 643 are they interchangeable attachments or are they different and complement each other?

[Saphir]

Saphir, the difference between 640 and 340 is described in detail at the beginning of the topic, with pictures.
643 as a nozzle for a meat grinder, turns slowly, in my opinion, is less functional.
Plus the 340th is that everything pours into the bowl, it is more likely for blanks ...

643 is good for rubbing chocolate, for example. Due to its low speed, it does not melt! It's the same with cheese.
I also use it for vegetables in small quantities - fix and wash faster than 640.
P.S. I have these all three in stock

I use KENWOOD AT 643 for grating potatoes, or zucchini, or pumpkin for pancakes. So children, even if they are already over 20, do not like to see what pancakes are made of. (probably while they themselves do not have children). Also, with pleasure I use it for grating hard cheeses, chocolate. With a high-speed one somehow did not work out, since there is no source for procurement (its own collective farm or, as is now customary, its own agricultural holding named after Tkachev)

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, this proshka wrote that Teskomovsky copes better with cottage cheese. I don’t have Teskomovsky, but I love keshino sieve very much. Only cottage cheese in it and trub, every week. Everything else is extremely rare.

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, everything is ok with the sieve, the cottage cheese is rubbing, just go! Full delight!

[LisaNeAlisa]

LisaNeAlisa, kseniya D, so I am about the same
But! I am ready to take back my words that sufeyka is not a very obligatory nozzle if there is an opportunity - take how convenient it is for her to knead biscuits. And a delicate soufflé with cream. The other day I baked a complex cake and squeaked with pleasure: the sieve grinded the berry puree into coolies, the whisk beat the eggs into Styrofoam (I rarely separate the whites from the yolks now), then the cream into good peaks, the souffleka mixed the dough very neatly (she especially liked the prophecy of moonshine) , flexushka knocked down the butter cream. To top it off, when I didn’t get lost in the chocolate in Chantilly cream, but I had to take one bowl into another with cold water like a bath, I smashed everything into the cashew bowl - put on a plastic cap, left the kitchen and oops, the cream got lost
Well, how can you not stroke a kehin barrel?

I don't know what is wrong with the curd, but it smears and sticks to the grates. I tried it on the small and large, and smooth sides and rough. I tried it a couple of times, didn’t like it, and returned to Tescom. Maybe I'm stupid, since everyone has no problems, I will try. There was also such a boiled pumpkin, all adhered to the walls and grate.

I do not know what is wrong with the curd, but it smears and sticks to the grates

Perhaps the curd is not natural. Natural does not smear, but falls apart in the hands into pieces.

Yes, I suspect it's the curd, the rest is flawless. And even pumpkin depends on the variety, sometimes it is "sticky", but sometimes it passes normally.

[Maua]

Olya, good afternoon. I liked your forum very much. I just bought a Kenwood kitchen machine and don't really know which attachment to use yet. And here I counted and became a little clear. But I really want a recipe book, it will probably make it a little easier. Or see it on your website. I haven't found it yet. Can I get the book? Thanks a lot for the site.

Maua, Marina, welcome to the forum!
Which CM did you purchase?
For CMs without induction, there is a book in electronic form. If you send me your email in PM. address, I will drop you.
For induction machines, as far as I know, there is only a printed version. It can be ordered, and it will be sent to you by mail, but sometimes you have to wait a very long time, and some never arrive. However, there are no special revelations there.
In any case, here on the forum you can find a lot of detailed information and tips about your new assistant and attachments.I think that purely intuitively, you yourself will be able to answer many questions.
Study the instructions for your KM, read the topics, do not hesitate to ask questions if everything is not clear. You will see, it will take very little time, and you yourself will be able to write a book about using your favorite attachments for Kesha.
Good luck!

Please tell me where you can place an advertisement for the sale of a nozzle? I was looking for something, but I did not find it. Maybe someone will need it more than me.

Sofita, Tatiana, you here.

Tell me, pliz, which nozzle is better to knead gingerbread dough?

Hook.
But if you have a recipe with soft dough, then you can use K-shkoy, but a hook is better.

I took the soufflakes at kenwood-bt. A question for connoisseurs - why is there an additional pin and a wrench?
The manager said that they received a box of these attachments, dispersed instantly, just like the food processors.
I do not know about flexi, maybe there will be a delivery

My 512 also has a spare pin and a wrench. Neither one did not get out of the box.
On Saturday I whipped up a biscuit and mixed in flour 512 - girls - this is aaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!
Taking into account the fact that I do not divide the yolk proteins, such a magnificent dough never turned out if you intervene with your hands or with small turns of the corolla.
So I make an unambiguous conclusion - if you bake a biscuit at least once a month or two and there is an opportunity - get this nozzle, and whoever bakes constantly is a must-have! You will not regret.

girls, did anyone have a pin out of the nozzle?
I whipped butter the other day. So the campaign, because there was not enough oil, and the speed was high, shook the nozzle, and she threw out the pin.
I climbed the whole kitchen, nowhere else. Now, in shock and grief, what to replace and how to replace the part. Still in an easy hope, what if this is a warranty repair, what do you think?

[Oksana]

Oksana, I would try under warranty, IMHO, this pin should not fly out there under any conditions. It could bend or even break from excessive load, but not fly out.

I want to share my joy - I bought an AT 941 mill attachment, many thanks to Dmitry lekter from Barnaul, all the same people on our forum are wonderful, they really help. I ground wheat, oats, rice and buckwheat, it turned out to be excellent flour, in general I am very pleased with the purchase.

[Alina]

Alina, ponytail, is this a gray thing that empties the container? If yes, then it should be put on a certain side. Up - smooth, down - with a notch. First, I completely assemble the attachment, and then put it on the machine. It's more comfortable for me. And in order for the cover to snap into place easily, it must be set in a certain position.

See where the gray triangle is on the lid. In this position, close and turn the cover to snap it shut. He should stand in the middle of the vent.

[Juicer report]

Girls, I duplicate my messages from the topic Kenwood Kitchen Machine (2).

Juicer report

Available for about 8 years, the Bork juicer is cool, never let down.
Recently I purchased a Kenwood combine and attachments for it: Citrus-press AT312 and Juicer AT641.

Today tested-compared on pipisin... There were few fruits - each gadget got 1.5 pieces.
Pictured from left to right: Bork, Kenwood juicer, Kenwood citrus press




Leftovers. In a Kenwood juicer, they are more humid (just a little), squeezed at speed 2


Filter block. Left - Bork, right - Kenwood



This is what the leftovers in citrus press and skins look like



I tried everything at the same time. I was stunned by what I hadn't even paid attention to before - after the juicers there was a taste of metal. Very light, but was. Understood only in comparison with a plastic citrus press.

I made conclusions - for citrus press. One drawback in it - the base is loose.
Bork considered the best, but she did not find a difference with the Kenwood juicer on citrus. Lying - in Kenwood, 1 ml of foam was less
Comparison of a Bork juicer and a Kenwood AT641 on carrots and hard green apples.

Each gadget got:

Carrots - 470g
Bork - 300ml
Kenwod - 280ml.

Hard green apples - 520g
Bork - 480ml
Kenwod - 390ml

Didn't like Kenwood:
Take longer to assemble / disassemble.
A layer of carrots slipped through.
Louder, less stable.
There is a spray mist of the product above the collector. If you squeeze out a lot of solid, the residual accumulator gradually slides out - the gaps become even wider.
A slight jam has formed on the filter unit (shown in the orange dough in the photo). Apparently when she pressed on a stuck apple.
A very high design - it is not convenient to press from above - the apple got skinned down and it was necessary to apply considerable efforts. In Borok, the same problem is solved by a slight movement of the hand (apparently, graters are better).

In the squeezing of apples in both juicers, pieces with skin got into the collection. In Bork there are several small ones, in Kenwood there are many and larger ones. The apples were not peeled in quarters.
The Kenwood AT 641 juicer has been retired. If there was no old reliable and there was nothing to compare with, then I would have resigned myself to the shortcomings and left.
I liked the AT312 citrus press I used to watch the video how I work with it and it seemed that I needed to press very hard with my hand. In fact, everything is much easier. Oranges are now only on it.

there is a whole problem with him, I was tortured to twist back and forth, and I still did not understand what prevented it from immediately snapping into place and what then contributed to this ...

Move the "ponytail" with the other side and everything will snap into place. It should be worn in the same way as discs so that there is a sharp protrusion in the hands. If you don’t understand, I’ll send you a photo.

what if it's a warranty repair, what do you think?

Definitely a guarantee.

I liked the AT312 citrus press I used to watch the video how I was working with it and it seemed that I needed to press very hard with my hand. In fact, everything is much easier. Oranges are now only on it.

Not quite a correct comparison if we take citrus fruits. Here we need to compare the AT312 with the AT644 auger.
But the fact that AT641 is weak compared to its "colleagues", I was warned even when buying. I myself have a full-size centrifugal Philips 1858 for these purposes. During the season I make up 250 liters of juice, while at the same time I process up to 9 bags of apples, 20 kg each on average. At the same time, Philips is three times cheaper.

Share the secret of how to install the a-340 attachment, the shredder correctly? I can't get it to snap the first time. Today I exhausted all my nerves, it is faster to cut with handles than to change a disc for shredding. I read the instructions 100 times, watched the video, everything is simple, but I can't. And my husband, too, teases, they say, told you, why the heck is this car needed at all ??? I will try to explain in more detail, if you just put a disk, without this "tail", everything snaps into place, there is a whole problem with it, I was tortured to twist it back and forth, and I still did not understand what prevented it from snatching right away and what then contributed to it. .. Written confused, I hope more or less clear :)))
And another question, which disc for shredding cabbage is intended?

I had the same problem. My husband installed the necessary disk for the first time, snapped it himself, I put the nozzle into action, and when I washed it, it closed much easier the next time. Now I often use this attachment, so this problem is gone. You can also try, when you snap it, turn the nozzle itself in your hands, it was easier for me.
And for shredding cabbage, I use disc 4, like this one that cuts into thin slices. But the main condition is that you need to cut the cabbage and put it into the nozzle so that the cabbage leaves are across the knife. You carefully read the beginning of the topic, the girls have already described this process more than once. The first time I didn't succeed, and then I tried again - and beauty! Shreds cabbage very finely, and for cutting it for fermentation, it is generally ideal cutting, both large and small at once.

Someone else here gave a link to an Internet spare parts store.

I collect them (links), just in case, you never know

Ken knows him. A photo in the studio. Where there is a spring, something stands. Let's think, maybe we will understand.

here is a photo. On the right is a bushing with a spring. on the left - the nozzle itself with a sleeve without a spring

Clear.
It is certainly not a spring, but rather a centering and sealing ring.
If we exclude the situation that different machines have different seat nests and these shafts have the same diameter, it remains to assume that the seat nests have a development over time and the shaft with the ring helps to tightly fit and center the nozzle in this case.
but that's just my guess. You can stick both the one and the other shaft into the socket and see which one fits better and more tightly. Put that one.
For my part, I will try to clarify this issue with Kenwood himself, or rather DeLongy Moscow.

And I have the same ring on the bushing from the wiping sieve as on the right ... moreover, it is burst. I also did not understand why it was there. But there were no spare bushings.

I wipe the curd on the smooth side with large holes.

dear keshevody tell me in the nozzle sieve-wipe on which grate and which side is it better to wipe the cottage cheese on the cream? thank you in advance

If it is absolutely necessary, so that not a hint of grains, then on a small one, but it will be long and tedious to fiddle around, and you may also have to help. But, of course, it's still better than manually.
I wipe so meticulously only for Easter, solely for the sake of formality, but I don't wipe everything else at all, because I make cottage cheese myself, and I have it plastic, completely without grains, that's why it beats well without wiping.

dear keshevody tell me in the nozzle sieve-wipe on which grate and which side is it better to wipe the cottage cheese on the cream? thank you in advance

I rub on the shallow, rough side up. 2 kilograms of cottage cheese in 15-20 minutes, I bought a sieve-rub for this!
