Kenwood kitchen machine: working with attachments

[Girls]

GirlsPlease share your impressions of the AT 970 Testoraskatke ... Is it really good or is it not worth the money? It's somehow embarrassing that you can't wash, and I heard complaints about the creak ...

Svetlana, rolling is incomparable !!! Lasagna, dumplings, khinkali, manty, noodles, puff pastry, etc. now I do, playfully It is really impossible to wash, and there is no need for this. At the end of the work with a brush I go through all the cracks and everything is clean. It’s not her that creaks, but the tagliolinni. And there is nothing to creak in the rolling

[Irina]

Irina, Thank you! Did you buy a set or separately? I'm just trying to understand whether only one is good or the cutters in the set are also good ... It's just that for the pasta, the flour should be made from durum wheat, but where to find it? What are you making from?

It is somehow embarrassing that you cannot wash

Any rolling can not be washed.
At least a nozzle for Kenwood / Kitchen / Bosch, at least Marcato stand-alone, at least a Chinese no-name.

The point of not washing is that there is flour inside.
Flour is sprayed during work, it is both outside and inside. It is impossible not to dust it with flour, it will definitely be. A drop of water can turn the remaining flour into dough, then into stone, and then grist, and the gears are broken.

Therefore, only blow (but not with your mouth, saliva can get in), with a brush, cloth and other dry cleaning.

[Miranda]

Miranda, I realized thanks! I am confused by the lack of washing by the fact that the eggs are raw in the dough ... And after them do not wash .. strange)))

[Violin]

Violin, such is the given of such a gadget.
You can wipe it with a dry cloth, maximum.

It is not yet recommended to use salt in the dough.
Salt is said to be harmful to the mechanism.

But here is a controversial, incomprehensible question for me.

[Miranda]

Miranda, but to me with salt, in principle, the idea is clear. This is apparently just to avoid the deposition of salt on the mechanism, by analogy with joints in humans. It is clear that in the dough it seems to dissolve, but particles of salty moisture from the dough remain on the surface, then the moisture evaporates, and the salt remains and: 1) clogs the mechanisms and 2) corrodes the metal or its coating. Something like this..

[Irina]

Irina, Thank you! Did you buy a set or separately? I'm just trying to understand whether only one is good or the cutters in the set are also good ... It's just that for the pasta, the flour should be made from durum wheat, but where to find it? What are you making from?

I bought everything separately, in the end I had a rolling machine and two cutters: Tagliolini (I use it to make a paste of two sizes at once, if I dry the rolled dough a little, it turns out a paste 4 mm wide, and if I cut it right after rolling, then the middle "seam" sticks together and it turns out a paste with a width of 8 mm) and Trenette (I make thin noodles with this). I have these three nozzles behind my eyes.

I use semolina as durum wheat, it is now sold in many stores, for example, this



or such


But I save and use it 50/50 with regular flour

Girls, I wanted to share another use of the blender: I cook cocoa in it. I heat the milk almost to a boil, pour it into a blender, turn it on to the maximum, add a spoonful of cocoa. 1.5-2 minutes and an amazing drink is ready. Airy, tender, with foam, no cappuccinatore is needed!

[Kara]

Kara, Irina, how interesting, but does it affect the taste and structure of the dough?

Sveta, diluting ordinary semolina flour? No, it does not. You just need to remember that pasta from such a symbiosis is cooked for 1 - 2 minutes.

[Irina]

Irina, Thank you! I'll try to remember) Although unexpectedly, of course ...

Anita, an interesting option, only for some reason I was always sure that boiling water cannot be put into the blender, that only up to 60 degrees so that the glass does not burst ...

No, there is also heat-resistant glass. I pour hot soup from multi.

[Anita]

Anita, but doesn't cocoa need to be boiled with milk?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, not necessary. The taste does not suffer, and there are no other reasons for boiling.

[Anita]

Anita, Thank you! What proportions do you make?

[Anita]

Anita, Thank you! What proportions do you make?

500 ml. milk 5 heaped teaspoons of cocoa. I have dr. Oetker. But the proportions of cocoa also depend on which one you like. I get a rich taste.

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, we buy cocoa "golden label" in powder and do not boil it either, pour it into a cup to taste, pour boiling water over it and add milk and sugar to taste (like instant coffee). Nesquik is not boiled either. Great taste, quality too.

Thank you girls! I got it.

Well, everyone, dear members of the forum, thanks for the advice - I ordered myself a set with rolling and cutters for pasta, but it seems to me that I will only leave rolling, and for tagliatelli and spaghetti I will sell. I rushed through our shops, did not find a suitable flour ... That is, it will need to be caught on the occasion, they will lie, and I will buy it for Barilla ...

[Violin]

Violin, Svetlana, look at semolina of T-hard grades, this is raw material for macorons)
100 g of durum semolina and 1 egg.

[Masha]

Masha, I watched, all semolina marked with M. And I always buy pasta only from hard varieties and cook al dente, I do not like how they were in the Soviet Union .. I love elastic, to keep their shape well.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, it's strange that you don't have Monkey -T.
So, from this semolina T, macaroni is obtained, like Italian. I do it out of it. Here, just yesterday I made noodles for the soup, threw it into the boiling broth and turned it off for 1 minute, everything is ready)

[Masha]

Yes, Masha, I will have to look at the Metro ...

Added on Monday 10 Oct 2016 5:08 PM

It is somewhere, of course, is, but the whole city will not constantly search the time .. But, as they say, whoever is looking will find it)))

Added Monday 10 Oct 2016 05:10 PM

Masha,do you grind it or do you make the dough like that?

Owners of Kenwoods, tell me, please, and what do you need a kebbe attachment for. I know about such hollow sausages, but I'm wondering if there is anything else you can do with it. Can I use for a test? If there are links to recipes - thank you very much)

[Violin]

Violin, look for "Mistral" in your city. They also have semolina and flour.
Have S. Pudov, Garnets, Granmulino ...

You don't need to chop the semolina, just knead it. You can do it in half with soft flour.
After kneading, the dough must have a rest.
Good luck!

Masha, do you grind it or do you make the dough like that?

No, I kneaded the dough into a bag. Leave for 30 minutes, and then roll it))

The Metro also has flour of TV grades and semolina T))

Manka Makfa also comes in hard varieties. But in our Metro, unfortunately, they do not bring any of the above.

[Olga]

Olga, yes, I was looking for Mistral and a garnet, checking everything along the way, yesterday I was just prompted by these brands). I would like, of course, to try very much, that's why it's annoying

Added Monday 10 Oct 2016 5:30 PM

Smart people run away from work, and we create it for ourselves ...

[Belka13]

Belka13, Olya, means different purchases in the metro. Ours has everything. And in Ashan there is, I saw.

Well, if you try very hotzza, then you can also with ordinary flour.
If you knead it cool and not overcook, then you get quite a pleasant result, especially egg noodles

Somehow more than once already sitala that both spaghetti and tagliatelli come out well with them. I understand everything about spaghetti, we love them. But what do they do with tagliatelli? ... I think they are suitable for Lagman? .. Please share with what exactly they go well?

Added on Monday 10 Oct 2016 06:35 PM

I found a lot of great options Already my hands are itching to try ... they will bring it on Wednesday, until Thursday I will try to dig up raw materials for this business

Svetlana, tagliatelle, as well as tagliolini, are excellent just like pasta with any sauce!

For example,

Tagliolini with chicken and chanterelles (Kara)

In fact, all this is pasta of different widths or shapes, it's just that Italians are bored in one type of pasta, so they came up with all sorts of papardelle, gemelli, cavatanni, etc.

[Irina]

Irina, at night it's so delicious

Added on Monday 10 Oct 2016 7:29 PM

And at the expense of diversity, yes ... Barilla has only 100 species declared, yesterday I read it on a pack. Great, all the time different and beautiful !!!

Yes, Masha, I'll have to look at the Metro ...

Yesterday I was at the Crossroads, just taking semolina. There was T. Some things, of course, are different in stores, but in your city this network is also there, so if there is somewhere nearby, you can take a look.

[Paul]

Paul, stores in the regions differ very much from Moscow. We have, for example, Crossroads in general, a complete misunderstanding. Magnets from time to time, Auchan is so-so, even Metro, with all its advantages, is well poorer than Moscow.

Can be ordered from online stores. Pudov sends, for example. I ordered durum flour from him, flour for pizza, for pasta. Prices are not higher than store prices, it ships quickly.

Thanks everyone for the tips !!! How not to love our bread maker ?! The inhabitants of the country will never leave without advice and support!

After beating the dough, I decided to try the meat grinder. I really wanted to learn how to make homemade sausage. Did it for the first time in my life. The meat grinder has not yet impressed. Although the meat was cut very finely, it stuck all the time, and since there was no reverse, it had to be disassembled. Then I removed the insert altogether and left only the conical nozzle. It got better, but juice was pouring from all the holes, even the nest was wet. Not impressed yet. Let's see how the minced meat will twist. I feel that I will have to buy a stationary and definitely not Kenwood. It looks like a meat grinder is not her strong point.

It looks like a meat grinder is not her strong point.

I have a wonderful meat grinder. I have been using it for over 5 years.
For sausages, I scroll the meat through a large grate, and then I stuff the casing and everything works out great.

Ksyusha, tell me through the large grate all the same stuffing turns out? I would like to stuff it with small pieces, my grandmother did so, I really like it. Minced meat has a completely different taste.

I feel that I will have to buy a stationary and definitely not Kenwood. It looks like a meat grinder is not her strong point.

Irina, teach mat. part!
Here, many hayal the meat grinder until they learned to approach it from the right side!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...
And that's just the first 6 pages! Do you have a conscience? This is the second week of 6 pages?

Olga, I'm reading. There are a lot of pages, I've been reading for the second week.

It looks like a meat grinder is not her strong point.

You just have to sharpen the knives. Better to grind in the workshop, but you can also read the instructions, it says what to do so as not to scold the car in vain.

Pavel, I have not yet reached the knives. I was filling the sausage without knives.

Olga, I'm reading. There are a lot of pages, I've been reading for the second week.

I added it above, look.

[Roza_Irina]

Roza_Irina, Irina, I did it on an electric stationary kupat, so my juice flowed into the meat grinder and it smelled soooo. I had to completely disassemble and clean. Then she began to do manual work. You can at least wash it. And now I bought a syringe for Ali. For 5 minutes 1 kg of minced meat is packed. Buy a syringe if possible.

[Irina]

Irina, join Gayane - for stuffing sausages it is better to buy a syringe on Ali.

I am also for the sausage syringe.

With bad words, she made sausage in any meat grinder. The meat grinder is not to blame here, its structure is such that it is difficult to sausage. In one recipe, the juice flows, for boiled sausages it climbs back from under the pusher, stuffed with air. In any meat grinder so. Although, I know people who have adapted to make sausage in meat grinders.

I do not have a Kenwood meat grinder. But there are really a lot of descriptions here, how at first they didn't like it, and then they "tasted it" and don't want a separate one.
Here is a topic about a syringe, look.

Sausage syringe

You can't make boiled sausage with any meat grinder. Everything climbs back. Therefore, I decided to buy a syringe. And ordinary sausage is better than handmade. Less problems.
