[Kenwood kCook Multi]

Kenwood kCook Multi and Kenwood kCook Multi Smart
These two models are in many ways similar to each other - a multifunctional kitchen machine with a rich set and capabilities.

But first, let's look at the difference, since the price difference is significant.
(350+ euros difference at the beginning of 2019)

Appearance:
Externally, the models are similar at first glance.




With a "bread" icon - the instructions recommend kneading any dense / tight dough. They were kneading the dough for the pie.
Where is the icon "Bread crossed out" - for chopping everything else. For example, they crushed sugar into powder, cream soup.

Just got a closer look, they are sharpened a little differently.

Post under reconstruction, useful info will be coming soon

Those. characteristics, nozzles.

Post under reconstruction, useful info will be coming soon

are such things in demand abroad?

As far as I know - no! None of the surroundings have anything like a multicooker. Only some of Theroomix. But this is almost a sect

[Miranda]

Miranda, I liked the older model, it would be interesting to try it in practice.

They love Thermomix)))

Yes, when I googled reviews about the older model, then on the foreign Internet they compare it with Thermomix all the time. They say there are scales, and then the slicing and temperature up to 180, and cover the bottom of the shpindik.

I liked the older model, it would be interesting to try it in practice.

Yes, I also liked it. I would not create a topic if I did not like it.
I haven't bought a high-speed grater yet, I shouldn't have bought it.

I wonder how the combine would emulsify meat for sausage.

I don't really understand these gravity guys anyway

he is always compared to Thermomix.

Because TM is the standard, and so far no one has invented better;

I wonder how the combine would emulsify meat for sausage.

And it depends on the knives

IMHO, junior Kenwood is a complete analogue of Delonghi BabyMeal.
And the elder really liked it! I would like this, but of course for a reasonable price

And it depends on the knives

Not only.
Something like all designs, where the knife is on a stick, like to pull the minced meat under the stick. That Boshik, that Kenik's food processor. We must adapt ourselves.

And knives also heat the mass, which is absolutely impossible.

Although K-shaped if 12-15 minutes, and hold the attachment in the freezer, and the workpiece, and the ice with crumbs, then the result is satisfied. But with knives, emulsion is better. And I have not yet held the ideal option in my hands.

pimp that closes the stirrer connection at the bottom so that you can bake something in the bowl

By the way, this point is, well, the mistress's dream!
Even TM was not brought to this, but Kenwood thought of it, well done!
In short, let's dream

[Masinen]

Masinen, but for TM it seems that the bottom is not very large, the bowl is like that, right?

a bowl with a cone like that, right?

Well, yes, although in the new model, the bottom has been made wider)

A very interesting thing. Which is the eldest.

Which is the eldest.

Yes, the older one is interesting.
If they come up with a nozzle for it, and build the scales, there will be space. Including the price

[Miranda]

Miranda, I wrote in one topic here - since Thermomix (TM) is my old dream, but not only him, I am generally a deviceaholic, so I got to this forum - according to reviews on various equipment, then I for yourself(!) chose such a very convenient option (more, nevertheless, as a joke, of course) - now I measure prices for equipment in TM - so you look at the next castr Ulka - but nothing, in comparison with TM and inexpensive, although there are Wishlist and dear

[Kestrel]

Kestrel, and I use induction Kenwood to measure

[Miranda]

Miranda,

I liked TM very much, and for sausages too. And I rubbed the fruit with sugar - a sight. Sold. Now I'm sorry. She began to make cottage cheese casserole and right up to tears. tm so the cottage cheese was rubbed with knives elegantly, straight into the paste. You never had any lumps. And how did you cook ?! Semolina as a cream. Now I also want this gravity because of the temperature.

[TatianaSa]

TatianaSa, why did you sell TM?
It's better not! He is still the best of all!
Buy again!

Concerning Kenwood, the reviews are very bad, people are not happy !!
So that sucks, complete.
On the German Amazon.
The knives are short, the engine is on, everything crashes.
Full

I will wait with the purchase.

[Masinen]

Masinen, I went to read the reviews, but I don't see a single one.
Rather, there is not a single one for the elder, but for the younger there are 9 different reviews, one bad with a breakdown, one with 2 stars for the fact that there are few recipes, the rest are praised.

older - 🔗

Jr - 🔗
Have you seen reviews on other resources?

[Miranda]

Miranda, maybe more reviews have been added.

I have a memory that it is not worth buying it yet.
And the fact that the knives are short is bad.

Better to pay attention to Krups, that's another matter.
Everything is thought out with him.

Better to dig on TM ...

Better to dig on TM ...

agree! it works for me even more often than induction kenwood, but in general, they both complement each other, when you need to knead a lot of dough on the panettone, it's better not to come up with a cache

it works for me even more often than induction kenwood

In terms of cooking or kneading / whipping?

TM and other similar gadgets do not light me up, because their bowl at the bottom is narrowing. I am so uncomfortable to cook solid food. Plus a pin in the center. And as a simple blender / chopper or for liquid - I don't see the point. Maybe more comfortable than a blender or food processor, but not for the money.

Gadgets with a wider bottom, or no narrowing at all, are beginning to appear, and this is already beginning to interest.

Ie.I would like to have a blender / chopper and a multicooker / pressure cooker / double boiler in one person, and a humane price. A thousand + - euros is inhuman.

I managed to forget about these gadgets, and then I remembered the comments and Google again. I wanted to look for reviews.

But I never found super negative ones, even just grumpy ones.
But I dug up different videos.

Spanish off. The Kenwood channel filmed a lot of videos, even began to upload recipes. You can watch them on their channel (Spanish Kenwood).

I will repost a little about the device and functionality.
Here it is clearly how a stick is attached to the bowl and how to remove it and put a blotch instead of it so that there is a biscuit / casserole without a hole. There are such pins at the bottom, but in the commercial they push the whole thing into the dishwasher, wow.


About manual installation. Scoreboard in English. but everything is clear - the temperature button and +/- set from 30 to 180, the button set the time (I did not find the maximum one), the speed required (there are four of them in the video, which I did not find different. i.e. heating without rotating stirrers). And click OK.

For the rest of the buttons, everything is clear - reset, chopper without heating, start / off, a separate button for slicer / grater.

And here's another video on the programs, everything is clear there too.

Yellow - Main dishes: quick casserole / light meals / risotto / casserole / vegetarian dishes / slow cook

Red - Sauces: savory sauces / béchamel / compotes and spices / puree

Blue - Steam: steam / rinse (I don't know what I mean, maybe it washes itself, or maybe some mode)

Green - Soup: quick soup / smooth soup (apparently puree soup) / broth

Orange - Deep fat: single mode

Purple - desserts: dessert sauce (probably cream) / dough

***

As for me, this is an extended multicooker.
With a stainless steel bowl of 4.6 liters (working space 2.6 liters), with six program sections, in which a total of 17 programs. With the possibility of manual mode - selection of temperature (from 30 to 180) and time (?). Four stirring / beating speeds, and an increased speed in the chopper button. Large double boiler. Slicer / grater with five discs.
It looks very cute.
If we sold it, but the price is lower, then I would buy myself instead of the second multicooker, which I will not choose in any way.

In the French office. website on the page about him at the very bottom, if you omit, posted a book with 200 recipes. You can see it like this, you can download it.

🔗

I looked through the pictures, looked at the pictures, in principle it is clear, there are icons for attachments and programs. You can cook a lot, but at least in English. I would like to find. I also did not find the instructions in any language.
***
And here's another interesting point.

It seems to me that the slicer / grater discs are the same as in the AT340 kitchen attachment. Kenwood machines. There are only five of them. If they are the same, then you can buy two more disks from AT340.

In general, it seemed to me that in the new induction kitchen. the car they took from here. Or rather, not so. They tested some programs on this slow cooker, and then applied them to a new kitchen. car. Because what, for example, Bechamel noticed from different videos, is based on the same principle in the new induction CM and here.
***
Well, and also a video from a Spanish-speaking funny aunt, a beautiful actress and model. All the time it seemed to me that she would break everything and laugh.

Unpacking


And a couple of videos of her preparing different diet food in the car. I looked rather not at the car to watch, but it just amused me (in a good way). Positive

[Smart]

So while I sit and dream about kCook Multi, Kenwood released the following version
Kenwood kCook Multi Smart CCL455SI



I noticed in the French office. site.
🔗

She has wifi, and communication with the tablet and the scales that it comes with.
In the tablet, recipes are transferred to the machine and it switches everything itself. And the scales themselves say when it's enough to fill up. The rest of the functions are the same. 21 century!

In the video (under the spoiler), in principle, it is clear how and what. Oh, the Wishlist is not rubber! Or rubber?

And, there they added a second knife.
Google translation: Maxblade Knife.The accessory is designed for kneading dough with cakes and heavy pasta such as bread dough, pizza or bun.



And the previous knife is also there, except for the inscription on the blade in description and appearance, it does not seem to differ.
Google translation: Midiblade Knife. A very versatile accessory for chopping and mixing. Ideal for making soups, sauces, compotes

[Miranda]

Miranda, Thank you for the video! You always enlighten us. I want this device

[Belka13]

Belka13which one with wifi?
I think that since it is not a fact in Russian, you can also buy the first version, and buy the second knife. And buy two disks, since there are 5 disks as in the AT340.

I looked, it was only a week + - as announced. If there are reviews that the problem with the bowl has been fixed, then the second version may be better. That would appear in Germany, then it would be possible to buy on a computer with VAT deduction.

[Miranda]

Miranda, and with wi-fi, and the first version. I like the wide bowls.
I don't know how much weight the device has. I read about 7 kg, but it may be the weight of the machine itself, without packaging and attachments. With CU more than 20 kg will not be sent. And not the fact that it will appear there.

[Belka13]

Belka13, on Amazon they write that 15-something kg.

[Miranda]

Miranda, I approximately thought so. On ebay, 7 kg is indicated.

[Belka13]

Belka13, if some office. product i am looking at amazon. Moreover, I even compare on several Amazons, and even there in the answers-questions there is about weight (if this is a technique, and not there a baking dish). Always the exact weight as for devices - the device itself and the weight of everything in the package are indicated in another plate.

I looked about the Wi-Fi yesterday. On the French channel in YouTube, closed videos. Space, of course. It's a pity I don't know French to use these modern things. I hope that at least in English. there is. But after watching, I wanted a Wi-Fi version.

[Miranda]

Miranda, eh ... It's a pity, they won't be brought to us.
We can only have something like that - I looked at the Moulinex CUISINE COMPANION HF800A10 1550 W food processor.

[Belka13]

Belka13, no, no, not beautiful at all.
Well, I also like the fact that any cutting is right there. Then I wouldn't want a small slicer.

[Miranda]

Miranda, I agree, ugly. It's just one of the scanty number of devices that combine the functions of grinding and cooking, presented in our country.

[Belka13]

Belka13, listen, and I googled here, this is not a one-man Kenwood creation. They did it in collaboration. No wonder I was surprised by wifi, applications and scales.

There is a company Drop and they, together with various companies such as Bosch, Kenwood, make the kitchen of the future. All kinds of ovens, stoves, refrigerators and this thing too. Cool.

🔗

And here's another interesting article, the last paragraph especially
🔗

Translated, “The deal could have a long-term impact as well, as the two companies indicated that kCook Multi Smart is just the first of a series of products they will jointly develop under the Kenwood brand. Although the deal currently only applies to the Kenwood brand, it will be interesting to see if it ultimately leads to the expansion of other brands within the De'Longhi Group, a multinational hardware conglomerate with annual revenues of about $ 2 billion. "

[Miranda]

Miranda, again infected .. well, no strength to watch!

[zvezda]

zvezda, yes damn it, I want it myself! Such a handsome man.
I read the releases, write that soon by the summer or summer already in many different countries, they are working on localizations (i.e., they are translating). Oh, that would be with us.

Miranda, they killed ... I WANT this thing !!!! And how much is it about the price tag?

[Zhanik]

Zhanik, it has just been announced for sale, it is not being sold yet.
But 800 euros (799). Maybe then it will become a little cheaper.

[Zhanik]

Zhanik, it has just been announced for sale, it is not being sold yet.

Miranda! Thanks for the info!
It is tempting, but not on the budget yet anyway ...

[Zhanik]

Zhanik, budget and will not

[Zhanik]

Zhanik, yes, such gadgets are not cheap.
Somewhere from 40 start, rarely from 30. The first version has now dropped in price, and now somewhere around 450-500 euros.But they have.

[Miranda]

MirandaAs I will be in Spain (almost all summer) I will bother you .. maybe you can find it somewhere .. or tell me

[zvezda]

zvezda, on the Italian Amazon, the first version is the cheapest now. The new one has a connection with the application, wifi / bluetooth, scales and a new second knife. Therefore, if you buy the first version, then the second knife would be good. But I don't know the article yet.

The first version has one jamb, it was fixed later, but it can still surface. After the dishwasher, the bowl may give a "wet bowl" error. It is dried with a hairdryer and does not arise anymore. There are many reviews about this. Otherwise, everything is ok.

We posted instructions for a new one with Wi-Fi with many languages ​​(without Russian), but there is in English or Ukrainian (if anyone understands, then under the spoiler there is a link to the PDF).

🔗

That is, there is a chance that they will sell in Kiev, then I will definitely buy myself.
As for the languages ​​in the instructions, I noticed that in Kenwood's technique, Ukrainian is always included in a large book, where there are many languages ​​+ a separate booklet with Russian and Kazakh. At the kitchens. I don’t remember how it was, but the spiralizer and the small harvester were. So maybe we will sell (dreams).
