Kenwood Kitchen Machines

[@lex]

@lex, Alexei! I most often cooked potatoes and mashed them. It is necessary that the water only covers the potatoes, and not to the mark. About half a bowl was cooked for about 15-20 minutes (I noticed that it also depends on the variety of potatoes), and the mashed potatoes itself for about 5 minutes. Try again and I cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.

[@lex]

@lex, Alexei, I certainly did not cook potatoes, but in small portions, water or milk boils in a matter of seconds. You should also experiment with potatoes

I tried to boil mashed potatoes in it, the water was up to the max mark, so it barely boiled only after 23 minutes at the maximum temperature.

Several times I cooked mashed potatoes, there were a lot of potatoes, water up to the maximum mark, it also boiled for a long time. If you need to quickly, you can probably fill it with hot water then ...

It is necessary that the water only covers the potatoes, and not to the mark.

So it depends on how many potatoes, if not enough, then it is clear that there is no need to pour water up to the mark, I have a lot of potatoes, the water is up to the mark and the potatoes are just barely covered.

Tell me please. M-video sells a food processor attachment AW20010010. Is it suitable for KM 9040? Is this attachment for a medium speed or high speed socket? I can't find the info anywhere ...

Fits, this is KENWOOD KAH647PL (food processor) in your case on a high-speed socket.

Good afternoon to the residents of this branch
For more than a month I have been reading topics about the Kenwood kitchen machine.
The porridge in my head is terrible. I ask for the help of the collective mind.
I can't decide on the model of the car.
It is necessary:
a large bowl, a good kneader, a mixer, a vegetable cutter, a shredder, a grinder for cereals, a blender is very necessary, you can use a meat grinder (in the future), now it does not matter at all, because there is. If the juicer is better and more powerful than the individual ones, then you need it. In principle, there is an old Mulenex, but with good speed functions, for various vegetables and fruits. Whether the function of an induction machine is needed I do not know.
I rarely bake cakes, make cream (my family doesn't eat them too much). I constantly bake bread, pies, eat h. etc. there is a separate Philips pasta machine, I can't say that ah and wow, but it's better than nothing. I would love to change to Kenwood nozzles. Visually, I like them better.
I look closely at the car KVL8300S, 1700 W.
Maybe eat better, or give you some advice ... I'll listen to all your pros and cons.

ladybu, Evgeniya, Welcome!
About the package.
Whatever the initial one, then you can buy other attachments.
Therefore, many people prefer to first invest as much as possible in the best "naked" model for themselves, and then gradually acquire attachments.

From what you've listed:
Any model with a large bowl will perfectly fulfill the functions of a kneader.
The mixer-blender at KM Kenwood is quite decent, but you still need to have a separate submersible blender.
Vegetable cutter, shredder is a food processor sludge / or a high-speed grater vegetable cutter. if you need to choose one thing, then a food processor is preferable. But with a large volume of summer preparations or daily preparation of large volumes of salads, over time, you may need a high-speed one.
Miller. I have not, but users are praising.
The meat grinder-attachment is also quite decent - no worse and no better than a separate one. There are more budgetary individual models with very good (not worse than Kesha's) characteristics.It's just a matter of convenience, storage and finance.
The Kenwood juicer attachment is not the best. If there is a normal separate, then another is not needed. And for citrus fruits, too, is not a very useful toy - the penny individuals do just as well.
But on the screw juicer, the responses are different, but more laudatory. But here is whether the specificity of the screw pressing suits you ...
About induction.
If that doesn't make an irreparable hole in your budget, then it's best to take with induction. Personally, although I do not use it often, I do not regret at all that I took CM with induction.
About the pasta nozzle.
There are also conflicting responses to it. Someone is delighted, someone is fucking.
Personally, I didn't buy it, but bought a large filipka. Reasons: he kneads himself, he has more matrices. And I would definitely not replace it with the Keshina attachment.
For philippics, we have separate topics on the forum with a discussion of features, matrices, recipes. Perhaps if you take a walk there you will be better friends with your pasta machine.
But the dough sheeter and noodle cutter I have - attachments for Kesha. And practically no one has any complaints about them.

Good luck!

I have the stupidest question - I cooked mashed potatoes, everything is fine. But I couldn't wrinkle it.
K-shaped turns on only at minimum speed. How to fix it? I remember that you can somehow cleverly turn on the mixer at any desired speed with a heated bowl, but I completely forgot how to do it.

As one friend of mine used to say, sclerosis is not painful, but you run into it!
Remembering the "P" button when the temperature in the bowl is above 60 * C
Good luck!

[anna_k]

anna_k, from the instructions for the new induction:
High speed high temperature mode (HST)
For mixing at high speeds above 60 ° C:
• Press and hold the button for 3 seconds. The red indicator on the display screen turns on
with a sign! and the message “CAUTION HST MODE” appears. Every 30 seconds there will also be
the kitchen machine beeps.
• Turn the speed controller to the desired speed setting and the speed of the kitchen machine slowly
will increase to the selected one.
• The speed can be reduced to normal.
• To exit this mode, press and hold the temperature button for 5 seconds or
return the cruise control to the 'O' position.
This function can ONLY be used with a whisk and / or mixing attachment during
time for preparing. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 3 liters and do not
remember to install a splash guard.

The question is - can you turn on the mode with the K-shaped?

The question is - can you turn on the mode with the K-shaped?

In old inductions with any planetary one can include acceleration at high temperatures. The only question is expediency.
Good luck!

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, so the fact of the matter is that both me and Anya have a new induction.

How will the new induction distinguish the whisk from the K-shki? Probably the same as the old one - no way

no way

well, of course it will not distinguish ... turn on the HVHT mode with any nozzle!

Thank you! Everything worked out with the VSHT mode. And the car really does not matter which nozzle is used

Here it is happiness - perfect puree without effort at all))))

Can you please tell me what temperature to set on the cache, if the recipe includes a "water bath"?
This is clearly not 100 grams, since then, in the main recipe, one could simply put it on the stove?

[Svetlana_Nik]

Svetlana_Nik, depends on the volume and products.
Whisk 2-4 pcs. yolk, for example, as on a steam bath, in order to be safe, I put 60 + -.

Miranda, thanks.
And if, for example, you make a custard sour cream, where according to the recipe: Mix sour cream, egg, vanilla, flour and sugar, place in a water bath and cook until thick? Weight about 450 gr.

P. S.: how can I mention the person you are answering here on the forum? Something's not working out for me

[Svetlana_Nik]

Svetlana_Nik, oh, I was a little wrong. I looked at the recipes.
For yolks, I put 85 + -.But constant stirring is necessary (speed from the recipe) so that it does not weld, all the same, the difference between Kenwood induction and a water bath is that it can be welded to the bowl.

I make a simple custard at 120 degrees, and when it boils, I reduce it to 90 and until it thickens, with constant stirring, but not at high speed at this stage.

I never made sour cream. But, I would do this - put everything in a bowl and stir, when it mixes well, without turning off the speed, I would set 85-90 degrees. Then, when the speed decreases due to protection when a certain temperature is reached, I would press the speed return button (for the new and old induction this is done differently on this page), and until it thickens.

I have a Chef Titanium XL KVL8300S. The backlash of the socket for the nozzles (for the whisk) is very confusing.

I shot a short video. It turned out to be crooked, it is not very convenient to shoot with one hand.

This is what happened, so to speak. Today there was a master, the car was completely disassembled, a little later I can post a photo.

[Gingi]

Gingi, Galina, probably this should not be.
I have 096, everything is tight.

I don't have one either
What did the master say?

What did the master say?

I corresponded and called back with the warranty service for a long time. At first I tried to explain in words what happened to the car, but they asked to send a video, I had to work as an operator. The service company agreed that this is not a normal operation of the machine and it should not be so. But the car is new and they have never seen anything like this, they will think what to do with it. After a while, they called and said that they had agreed on the repair and were resolving the issue with spare parts. And yesterday the master arrived ... As I later understood, he saw the car for the first time.
The socket where the whisk is inserted was not fixed, the master could easily unscrew the hexagon pin with the nut simply by hand.
Under the guarantee, it was decided to replace everything in the assembly, so I understood that this is called a gearbox.
The master said that on older models, to access the head, it was enough just to unscrew literally a couple of screws from above. Here we had to completely disassemble the whole car, starting from the bottom. The only joy, the screws are all the same, you don't have to think where. It didn't work out right away, there were extra spare parts, but after several attempts it still worked.
In the process, the master honestly admitted that he sees such a machine for the first time, and in general he is on coffee machines. But he was asked to replace a comrade who was in the cars, but he was still on vacation. If I knew, I would definitely agree to wait a little longer, so as not to be a guinea pig and not arrange advanced training courses for masters.
Now the machine is working, although the sound has changed a little, I will continue to observe. Hopefully. that I no longer have to contact the service.

[Gingi]

Gingi, I also really hope together with you!
Wow (whole story).

[Gingi]

Gingi, Let's hope that everything will be okay further .. and the sound is unpleasant? or...

Let's hope that everything will be okay further .. and the sound is unpleasant? or...

With the sound it is not yet clear, it became, as it were, higher than before. It seems to work fine, nothing dangles. Today I made charlotte with cherries, beat everything perfectly.
As promised, a few photos from the analysis of the car.
This, so to speak, the heroes of the occasion, their master easily unscrewed by hand.

This is the head from below.

It was not possible to disassemble from above. I had to turn the car over and start from the bottom. What they saw after removing the cover.

They removed the board.

More insides.

End of disassembly.

The part itself is on top.

Below.

They took Kesha for repair, of all the authorized services declared on the website, they were accepted only on Sushchevka, the rest are repairing the body and audio. I did not find the checks, they gave them for diagnostics for 700 rubles, they promised to pay

sent for diagnostics for 700 rubles

Olga, where did you buy your Kesha? If in an online store or even in a regular store, but with delivery, then you can raise the history according to your details, find the sale / delivery date and request either a duplicate invoice, or ask to put a stamp on that date on the warranty card.
If there are no receipts and no other way to confirm the date of sale, the warranty period starts from the date of issue.
And if we take into account that this period for KM Kenwood is 5 years, then it is quite possible that 5 years have not passed since the release of your copy, and any breakdown that does not depend on the consumer should be diagnosed and fixed free of charge.
Good luck!

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, thank you bought 2 years ago in Eldorado



I'll try to raise it. Dad uses Keshetz mostly. He is not familiar with the technique, but he did not understand Kesha himself, I forbade him, said that the gearbox most likely died, he connects this with the scrolling of white bread croutons into cutlets in a meat grinder! Be careful

Virgin, have you seen that the Cooking Chef can now be ordered in different colors?
And you can individually order an engraving on it - any of your pictures or inscriptions✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.
Do you know what I will say? -I belonged to the supporters of kitchen for many years), I loved him immensely, but now my heart 💓 wavered. It hurts now that the cooking chef looks attractive to me). And this, almost a declaration of love, without even owning it! While I enjoy this thought and stretch the pleasure😀😀😀

[Irina F]

Irina F, yes, I saw colored ones (in the pictures).
Beautiful!

And this, almost a declaration of love,

And we will love you (especially after such words) ....: girl_love: a smart girl!

[Irina F]

Irina F, Ira! Where can I see cars in different colors? Somewhere in the subject I saw, I will not find it.

it's almost a declaration of love, without even owning it yet! While I enjoy this thought and stretch the pleasure

Ahaaaa! Got you ?!

[Miranda]

Virgin !!! I've been a Chinese fanatic for many years! And it was always so nice to watch the comic struggle between the owners of kitschen and kenwood). But I myself felt tender feelings for kitschen and did not doubt my choice! Yes, it is beautiful and wonderful, I work more than on trams, but Kenwood is still an order of magnitude higher in terms of equipment! After all, the kitchen has an induction bowl, but it has a lot of shortcomings, so I did not take it.
But cooking chef! Butterfly nozzle for easy tempering, good induction for boiling cream / compote with setting the pace and time !!!! Miracle!
Miranda, very beautiful! And if you also add your own logo, then generally 🔥!
zvezda, Olga, it seems I am being drawn into your klaaan😁😁😁.
Masha Ivanova, Lena, I don’t know where to look in the subject, and so on the Kenwood website cooking chef. Moreover, this option is only for Russia - Kenwood comes to us in the usual color and here in the Kenwood service center the staining you need occurs!
Olga VB, Olkaaa! Yes, I got aaaaa!

I've only seen colored ones on Instagram.
That brought you from there



vertical photos as clumsy, tried to crop

Yes, it is beautiful and wonderful, I work more than on trams, but Kenwood is still an order of magnitude higher in terms of equipment!

Whenever I wanted a car, at first I liked kitschen. But after reading the opinions, watching the reviews, any video, I still leaned towards Kenwood.

Precisely because there are more opportunities. And when choosing, I was confused by both Kitchen and Kenwood, the fact that there are nozzles at the end of the head. It seemed to me that this is a thin connection, that pressing from above could break something, because in the video, when they press the pusher (in a vegetable cutter, meat grinder, etc.), the head lowered under pressure from such pressure. Well, there was such a strange fear. And in Kitchen, all the attachments are so attached. And I didn't want to feel this fear.

But still, the final point is more possibilities, everything is stronger in appearance, the hook again, I always liked Kenwood more (which with a spatula in the previous induction, there was no other spiral as in the new induction then). As a result, I bought an induction Kenwood. Not a bit sorry - a very multifunctional machine.

And if you also add your own logo, then generally 🔥!

If a cook with a name, or for master classes (who leads) - a very cool opportunity to have a personalized car. I don’t know I would. But I was hanging on the thought, and what I would like in the form of an inscription.

Yes, I got it

Welcome

Hello! Sawed a pimp from the casing 9060



The head now closes quietly if there is a non-native bowl without a notch.



So you can buy a bowl for the old induction, and it will work!

Irina, Miranda! Thank you! I also called Cooking Chef, they said that they would be on sale in August. There will be only model 9040, it will cost about 73 thousand. But I don’t know the color in the Moscow service center? Do you think nothing will peel off there?
Dyed at the request of the customer in the desired color, so far from 5 colors. Now Muscovites can watch them live at their master classes.

[Miranda!]

Girls .. and who already has a different color will not paint ??
Miranda! Why did you bring pink

[zvezda]

zvezda, an interesting question about painting the old.
I would make this option, it's money.

Do you like pink? I don’t know yet if I want color at all.

[Miranda]

Yes, girls, pink dusty poody is beautiful, devil)))))
It is clear that the painting option costs extra money, and the logo also costs money!
For mk, of course the logo option is cool. And the butterfly attachment too 🔥!
Miranda, my kitchen has been working every day almost since 2013, everything is fine!
I didn't need additional options in the form of any graters / meat grinders - I like everything to be separate, but I have space!

[Irina F]

Irina FIf I had a culinary YouTube channel or something else public, I would definitely make a logo and my own color. It's cool, stylish and personal.

About the attachments, I also for some separate. For example, I like a separate meat grinder. I will never buy a nozzle. And the spiralizer started a separate one. Blender is not for everybody. If you use a lot, then there are some super-pros. The processor and vegetable cutters can also be separate, depending on the frequency of use and purposes.

But for a cube cutter, I would not start a separate gadget, because gadgets with cube cutters still have a lot of unnecessary things for me. And the flour mill is also a great thing as a nozzle; the German Messershtmidt makes them for Kenwood. And the multi-shredder with a set of jars is a very handy thing. I appreciated the dough sheeter by buying it at a share, although it used to be for a separate one. I liked the height of the work.

Basically, I don't have that many separately purchased attachments. In addition to the food processor and blender that came with the complete set and the cube cutter donated with the purchase, I also bought: a mill, a multi-chopper, a souffleka, a dough sheeter and a sieve-rub. Another add. a bowl and an old flexi, but this is already such, not attachments.

[Miranda]

Yes Miranda, pink is just mmmm
Ira! I found old pictures, so since 2009, Kesha has been plowing a lot without a break! How!

Girls, I wanted to order model 9060 on the site, but they are not there .... Is this a temporary phenomenon? Or am I so unlucky, and they are not on sale in the Russian market?

[Alyona]

Alyonahow not ??? Now I checked it on purpose ... I tried to place an order - everything is fine. Where did you order ??

[zvezda]

zvezda? give me a link please...

[alena40]

alena40, official site - 🔗
There, a pre-order (with an unknown result) only for the previous induction - 096. A 9040 and an extended complete set 9060 - allows you to put in the basket and order.

Thank you all, of course I looked at the wrong site .. And someone ordered in installments?

[alena40]

alena40, many.

If the 9060 model, and the bank agreed to issue you (they may refuse), then in the documents from the bank the loan amount will be 63 thousand, and 7 thousand is interest (which in total gives the price as if you bought it right away - 70 thousand). If you pay off ahead of schedule, literally in the first day or two, then only 63 are needed. Early repayment = discount.

Therefore, you can call the hot phone listed on the website and ask a couple of meaningless questions (about delivery or something else) to confidentially tell the Kenwood manager that you are going to issue an installment plan, what to pay off ahead of schedule and pay less. And so casually ask if the store will immediately make a 10% discount so as not to involve the bank. Many went to meet. But then you run into someone.

Or you can pay for 10 months, it's up to you to decide.

If you use the promo code - kenwood when ordering - the scales will be a gift. Unfortunately, now there is no promo code that would give a mini chopper or something else. Now everyone is giving the scales. Literally at the end of last week, a friend bought, and we went over all the famous promotional codes (from culinary bloggers).

Good luck.

[Miranda]

Miranda, Thank you so much!!!!

But, suddenly there will be a promo code for the shredder, I would be grateful, because, as most likely, I will buy at the end of August when I leave my vacation. Now I'm feeling the ground.
