Chocolate maker Kenwood Chokko Latte CL 438

It's still removable. The principle is the same as with the lid - turn in the direction of the arrow and remove!

It's still removable. The principle is the same as with the lid - turn in the direction of the arrow and remove!

But you can't wash, as in the previous model. Just wipe gently.

I don’t understand what you are so worried about! After every time I wash the glass and the lid by hand, that is, I wash the inside with a soft sponge with Feri, and then rinse thoroughly.
Then I put it in place without a lid and let it dry completely.
It confesses to me that the restrictions apply only to washing the very bottom. No drops of water should fall on the engine parts outside the glass and that's it.
At the beginning of this topic, the girls have already discussed this, and expressed regret only about the inability to wash the glass in the dishwasher.

I have such a brush for the chocolatier, it is very convenient, I pour a little water of detergent, I will rub the chocolates everywhere and under running water with an open faucet, although I keep the cup in my hand all the time
if you wash it right away, then I don't see anything complicated about it

The brush is supplied according to the instructions for each chocolate maker. With her, of course, it's easier.

And your mulled wine recipe can be very interesting! I'm just wondering if mulled wine can be completely "boiled" in our chocolate maker? Previously, I cooked it on the stove, and then insisted for a long time ...

Share the recipes, if it's not difficult for you! .......... Punch and Wasail are very interesting! ......

It's not difficult for me. (I took the recipes from the KENWOOD page, look there)

NoteWalking from house to house with the singing of Christmas carols is an old tradition. The word "wassail"
Comes from the old Angla-Saxon phrase "waes hael", which means "To your health".

Fruit punch with spices

500 ml cranberry juice
250 ml grapefruit juice
125 ml pineapple juice
125 ml water
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground coriander seeds
1/2 tbsp. l. ground cinnamon

In both cases, I used homemade cranberry juice instead of cranberry juice.

another option for non-alcoholic punch:
Apple Lemon Punch
8 servings

This drink, full of vitamin C, will keep you warm at any time.
Structure
500 ml apple juice
350 ml water
125 ml lemon juice
2 tsp brown sugar

4 carnations
2 lemon wedges

Preparation
1. Add the ingredients except the cloves and lemon wedges to the cup, turn the power button to position 1 and set the timer for 8 cups.

2. Add one clove and one lemon wedge to each cup.

After turning off the timer (a beep will sound), turn off the device by moving the power button to position 0. Wait until the foam rises and pour the drink through the tap into cups with cloves and lemon.

Note
Apple juice or home-made from a juicer, or I buy specially "Udachny", it tastes exactly like home-made, unsweetened at all, instead of sugar you can use honey, even tastier !!!

mulled wine is very simple! put the following ingredients in a jug (in any order): a bottle of dry red wine (0.75l), the juice of one orange, cut another orange into circles (even into cubes, it will still "crumble" during the cooking process), 4-5 sticks of cloves , sugar (or honey) 4-5 tablespoons (to taste, you need to taste it as you like best) and ground cinnamon to one teaspoon (also to taste, you can not lay it down at all if you do not like it). and now we turn on the timer all the way and wait for readiness. during this time, you can light candles, prepare two armchairs with warm blankets and cut cheese. if there is a fireplace - generally excellent! but you can sit in front of the TV - with mulled wine makes a great evening !!!
yes, when you pour mulled wine, be sure with a strainer, it's more aesthetically pleasing

Comrades - owners of chocolates, did I understand correctly that models 638 and 438 differ only in coating? There are no major differences?
Although, to answer this question, you need to have both chocolates ...

they differ in design, but essentially the same, in any case, the functions are the same

Even in the 638th it fits more than in the 438th, for two circles.

Still, I was going to order CL 438, chose a dozen sites (cheaper), but ... everywhere on order. If anyone recently bought, please share where. Maybe someone saw her in stores. I saw 638 in MediaMarket for 2000 rubles. I don't want one!

My chocolate girl was idle, and yesterday I made ice cream with her help, if anyone is interested, I can share the recipe

[436]

Yesterday I saw a chocolate maker at the Expert 436... And there is a mention of it above. So 438 and 436 are not the same thing? How do they differ?

The recipe is taken from the Karina forum, there are such pictures that I want to do everything at once. It was called

"Super Chocolate Ice Cream"
Cream 33% - 500 ml
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 3 tbsp. l.
Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped - 140 gr. (I took much less, about half a tile)
Milk 3.2% - 350 ml.
3/4 cup sugar
salt - a pinch
yolks, large - 5 pcs.
Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp

And then my innovations with the chocolate girl
Pour in 250 ml. cream in the chocolate maker, add cocoa, grated chocolate, turn the chocolate maker to the 6th mark. After the sound signal, pour the mass into a large bowl, add the remaining 250 ml of cream and stir.
In a chocolate maker, mix milk, sugar, salt and heat. In a separate bowl, mix the yolks well. Add warm milk to the yolks in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture back into the chocolate maker, turn it on at the 8. The mixture should become thick like a custard. (I didn't get it very thick, and without lumps, so I didn't have to filter it through a sieve, as it was in the recipe)
Add the custard to the chocolate mass, mix well and refrigerate until completely cooled.
Next, whoever has an ice cream maker, do it in an ice cream maker.
I don't have this wonderful unit (yet), so I put the bowl in the freezer. When the mass began to freeze on the sides, stir everything until smooth with a silicone spatula (every hour). Repeat until the mass becomes very thick. Transfer to container and freeze. Voila.

If I hadn't climbed with my spatula into the freezer every 15 minutes, then the ice cream would have frozen faster.I had almond roasted nuts from the cake (ground almonds with sugar, fry in a pan) and I added it to the ice cream before transferring to the container. So I came out Chocolate Ice Cream with Almond Roasted Nuts

Yes, the ice cream turned out to be great, right now I'm sitting, eating it and thinking about buying an ice cream maker (but this is a zapara, we don't have them in our city), or at least a special spoon to make beautiful balls like in childhood ...

Important!!! I reread my post with a recipe for cream, I took a lower fat content, I have not yet tried to do it with 33%, so it is likely that they will whip when heated. In principle, you can also heat it on the stove, you just need to constantly stir it, and you should not allow it to boil, remove it when the first bubbles appear. The chocolate girl is, of course, ideal in this regard.
Soon I will make ice cream again, check and report.

Maybe someone saw her in stores. I saw 638 in MediaMarket for 2000 rubles. I don't want one!

In MediaMarkt "Belaya Dacha" there is (and for a long time) 638 model for 999 rubles. Last time I saw them there on Friday.

And I ordered my 638 through the Internet, 2 weeks ago it was not alive anywhere. I already wanted to take 438, but I looked at her in Eldorado, I did not like it. She's kind of flimsy and the jug is not collapsible, it is not convenient to wash.
For that now we cook mulled wine every evening. A living Christmas tree is hung with gingerbread cookies under the ceiling, under it is a basket of tangerines and we are in armchairs with mulled wine, a very new mood
Remaining gingerbread house to glue

In Eldorado, chocolate makers 438 - second-hand. My husband bought me. He brought it on Saturday and said that he would not give it back to NG. In front of him, I often asked “Kenwood Chokolatte 438” in stores. I would not have guessed about the used one, if not for the following dialogue:
- Such tears because of some five hundred rubles ...
- Why five hundred ?! Probably fifteen hundred?
- No ... Not even five hundred, but four hundred and ninety-nine ...
- Where did you get it?
- In Eldorado. Zinka dragged in a kettle to buy it, and there they were ... And the figure you were looking for ... Well, I took it.
When my husband was not there, I took out the box and examined everything. She really is a comeback. Milk and sugar stains on the cord. Well, I rubbed it all over with medical alcohol, packed it neatly and was horrified ... If I took it out on New Year's Eve, and my husband realized that he had bought a used one! Guys, they are so nervous ... Now it will be necessary to quickly take out of the box on New Year's Eve (the box is clearly used, I cannot do anything) and the box - to the balcony. If anything, I squeezed it! According to the documents - 12 months warranty (a very philosophical question) and two weeks for return / exchange. So I can use it for a week and a half and change it for something with a surcharge ... or not change it ... It will be seen there.
I am writing all this so that people would be more attentive in stores like Technosila (here someone already wrote about the used HP purchased in TechnoSila, and the fact that the second-hand was not notified) and Eldorado. In my case, everything is fine. I don't even care that it is used. The fact that my husband remembered the numbers (438), which I was looking for, is much nicer. It seems to me that everything will be fine with her, and she will not go back to El Dorado. They gave it to me with a soul.But if someone else brought me a gift, obviously second-hand ... It is difficult to say what my reaction would be, but ... hardly positive. I would be offended.

[Hairpin]

Hairpin , a story about a second-hand chocolate maker, to put it mildly ... surprised me, did not know what happens!

Here, girls, I brought you a new recipe for mulled wine, very unusual:
WHITE GLOTWINE

1 bottle of white wine
10 pieces of crushed sugar
1 orange, clove

Warm up the wine with sugar, cloves and (here in the recipe you need to pour half an orange into a saucepan, but since we have a chocolate maker, I think we need to cut the zest into pieces, you never know what ..).

When serving, in each mug, put an orange wedge cut straight off the skin (like gummies) and pour hot wine through a strainer.

Used in Eldorad it happens ... I saw it myself once and was not weak. The chocolate maker was just there. I would not have paid attention if there was no new one nearby. With a new price, respectively ...

In St. Petersburg, before NG, the Kenwood firm (or their dealers - I don't know) held an action: "Whoever bought a Kenwood food processor - a chocolate maker as a gift!"

This is also stated on the Kenwood website. RU.

I ordered kitchens from one St. Petersburg online store. a Kenwood KM710 car as a gift to a friend, and they also brought a chocolate maker for free.
Then I repeated the order and bought myself a Kenwood Chef combine.
The chocolate girl was "squeezed".
I called back and asked: what about my chocolate maker?

They brought another one the next day.

I got ready to give them to NG, but, thank God, I went to OKEY.
And there ... in the department of household appliances ... in the load to the kitchen. Kenwood combines (but for others, inexpensive, for 3.5 thousand and only for one model) are given ... chocolate makers.

You can not buy - only in the "load".

It's good that I didn't have time to donate my own, otherwise it would have been inconvenient.

It's good that I didn't have time to donate my own, otherwise it would have been inconvenient.

Didn't understand why ?? If they gave me some kind of thread, I would be glad and I don't care how they got it ...
well, if it's not used, of course.

Didn't understand why ?? If they gave me some kind of thread, I would be glad and I don't care how they got it ...
well, if it's not used, of course.

It depends on whom to give ...
If not very good. to a loved one, and he will go to some OKEY and see that the chocolate maker is free, then he may be offended.
In my case, the gift meant a ritual one.

Happy new year friends!

Received as a gift from her husband 438th. For two days I read all the messages about the chocolate maker on the forum

Reached the latest pricing news today and split my husband. It costs 499 rubles in Eldorado. New.

About the power, I can say that Kenwood messed up on the site, indeed 750 watts. There is also a pdf instruction.

In the morning I made mochacino for 5 people:

- a liter of boiled warm water
- 5 tsp instant coffee (preferably espresso, which gives a crema when it gets into water)
- 15 tsp. dry cream (it was too lazy to run for milk)
- dark chocolate
- 5 tsp sugar

It will not work thick. In principle, a mochachino should be like this, but the foam is funny

[Lika]

LikaBelieve it or not - I've never tasted mulled wine. I can only imagine how he prepares.

Until I bought the chocolate maker, I never did it - I was too lazy to mess around, but now it's 10 minutes and

Comrades - owners of chocolates, did I understand correctly that models 638 and 438 differ only in coating? There are no major differences?
Although, to answer this question, you need to have both chocolates ...

638 has a heating function

My second-hand chocolatier received a full-fledged residence permit in my kitchen. All claims came down to a dried lump of sugar with milk on the wire, and a piece of chocolate in the bowl itself. The above was washed away and forgotten.
And now on the case. I bought Augen Choco (creamy) and Augen Choco (classic) chocolate mixes in Utkonos. Anastasia, thanks again, otherwise I certainly would not have got to the Platypus. And I also took 86% of the chocolate.
The instructions for Augen Choco indicate to take 2-4 tbsp. l. for 120 ml. water. Then the chronology was as follows:
Attempt # 1. For 250 ml of milk - 6 tbsp. l. Augen Choco. It turned out disastrously sweet.
Attempt # 2.For 200 ml of milk + 50 ml. cream (35%) - ¼ chocolate 86% (25 gr.). It turned out much better, but ... not sweet.
Attempt # 3. For 200 ml of milk + 50 ml. cream (35%) - ¼ chocolate 86% (25 gr.) + 1 tbsp. l. Augen Choco. It looks like this option is the most classic.
Attempt # 4. For 200 ml of milk + 50g. sour cream (20%) - ¼ chocolate 86% (25 gr.) + 1 tbsp. l. Augen Choco. So far we have not understood. Either sour cream is felt, or not ... This option was left for revision.
Attempt # 5 (an attempt to get whipped sour cream with sugar). For 200 ml of sour cream + 50g. Sahara. Not really whipped up and absolutely did not flow through the faucet.

So at the moment, the recipe for attempt # 3 turned out to be the most successful.

I would like to add some Augen Choco mix. The price is 160 rubles. for 500 gr. I do not consider it economical expedient. In my opinion, there is 25% chocolate, and the rest is sugar. That is, 75% sugar from 500 grams - 375 grams. Sahara. And the price is split into approximately 10 rubles for sugar and 150 - for 125 grams of chocolate. That is, the chocolate itself costs about 1200 rubles per kg. Although the sugar there is almost ground to powder ... That is, it is worth taking one package, but delicious chocolate without the addition of chocolate will not work. I tried only creamy, I haven't opened the classic yet. But the number of calories they have is almost the same. I think the classic layout will be the same.

And about the chocolate maker herself. Technically, a chocolate maker is a bowl blender with the differences:
1. There is a heating function (not only in 638);
2. There is an additional tap to drain from the bottom of the bowl;
3. The rotating blades are clearly shortened and make up about 20-25% of the entire radius of the thicket.

That is, you cannot use it to whip ice cream with milk (naturally, without heating). The blades won't beat him. It's a pity…

Conclusion. I am very satisfied. Moving on to experimenting with recipes from the Kenwood website.

And I bought a chocolate maker for about a month and used it every day. and now rarely, only when someone comes to visit. And so sometimes we make mulled wine. And so I dreamed, dreamed ...

[Hairpin,]

Hairpin,
very high-calorie desserts (well, I suspected that, of course) - not for me.
And, most importantly, there was a hope to use the shock. like an ice cream maker. Thank you for explaining that it works as an ice cream maker.

As an ice cream maker itself, it will definitely not work. Only as an assistant ...

I was going to order chocolate through a joint purchase and decided to update the link (it was already published earlier), suddenly someone will come in handy ...
🔗

I tried the punch from the Kenwood website. I'll post the recipe too (just in case)

Hot punch
2-3 servings
• 400 ml of water
• 6 tbsp. l. whiskey
• 4 tbsp. l. honey
• 4 tbsp. l. lemon juice
For serving:
Lemon wedges

Hot punch has long been used as a remedy for colds. Nowadays, many people continue to use it for the same purpose, and also because the taste of this drink is simply great!

1. Add water, honey, whiskey and lemon juice to the glass. Move the power button to position 1 and set the timer to 8.
2. Place one lemon wedge on the bottom of each glass.
3. After turning off the timer (a beep will sound), turn off the appliance by moving the power button to position 0. Wait until all the foam rises to the top edge of the bowl and pour the prepared hot mixture into glasses with lemon wedges.

I liked it very much. A combination of sweet honey and sour lemon juice ... + whiskey ...

She took the chocolate on the family. I haven't tried the dairy yet, but the packs are all except the white one. That is, I tried chocolate with mint, orange, coconut and nuts. The most pleasant with a nut. In the coffee contat, she captured with caramel and classic.
I was stocked with chocolate ... I don't even know for how long ...

I love mint !!! somehow I even made hot chocolate from ordinary chocolate + brewed herbal mint tea instead of water.

And it seemed to me that all these flavors ... to be spoiled, or something ... I'm already trying to figure out the most economical option ... Probably, either for coffee and coffee. ru (560-800 rubles per kg) or for a coffee drip. ru (700 rubles per kg of simple).
By the way, what is purchased looks like a coffee drip.There is also rum and almond. And the almond ... Well, can't I grind the almonds into a coffee grinder?

I apologize for the stupid question, I am completely confused:
Is it possible to get delicious hot chocolate without buying chocolates, only on cocoa powder, or is it much tastier on chocolates?

And with pleasure I will join the stupid question.
Here we are buying chocolate, 80% cocoa is written on it. And if in place of this we buy cocoa (like the Golden Label, which I have not seen in Moscow for 15 years, but at the intersection I bought something similar in white and red packaging), and we load the maximum possible concentration into the chocolate bar, what will we do? Hot cocoa ... Why do they make chocolate? Maybe we sell not cocoa, but ... a cocoa drink ... And the whole problem is that we cannot buy real cocoa? It should be almost black, not light brown, like ours ...
While I finished the post, it seemed that she herself began to understand ...

And I already thought that I was completely dull
It's just that we have on sale exactly dark and exactly fatty cocoa, as it seemed to me no worse than the "Golden Label", it turns out very tasty chocolate for cakes. So it asked in my head - maybe hot chocolate is no worse with him?

PS
If there was something, and there would be something to compare, then I would have tried long ago and there would be no question

Is the Golden Label dark and bold ?! True, for fifteen years memory could fail ...

I made only concentrated cocoa from cocoa powder .. the gold label is sold in grocery departments, I buy it regularly .. the last time I bought it instead of "Russia" but also very !!
I here from St. Petersburg brought chocolate in powder for cooking the factory to them. Krupskaya ... that was delicious! They don't sell in Moscow

Hairpin, I'm not a very expert on cocoa powders - but from what I've seen, there were two types of cocoa:
- medium light (something like the Silver Label)
- dark (Gold respectively)

In recent years, I have come across a medium-light generally beee, some fat-free nibs and not cocoa.
Nesquiki, la fiesta - it's not about getting up to die - you need to throw in half a kilo to feel the taste of chocolate, and you won't feel it, the chemistry is solid.

From a story 3 years ago:

It turns out that I had a Golden Label in my house for several years, it just so happened that when moving, it was forgotten and it turned out to be a year, or maybe two, expired.
And now my mother wanted to do something urgently with cocoa, it seemed to spread it on the cake, I tell her that I have 5 boxes of the Golden Label in my stash.
Naturally I taste it, cocoa cocoa, it did not spoil at all and I pass it on to her.
But she disdained (did not believe my taste) and sent her father to buy a fresher version.
In the end, what? On a big holiday, the cake is spoiled
And only after that she did it with my Golden Label and everything turned out very tasty, he was probably old school. And I haven't tried the modern Golden Label.

[Conclusion.]

Conclusion. Since you have dark fatty cocoa, and I do not, you will have to try ...

Can I get into the cocoa account. At the weekend I had to buy cocoa for my mother, and so there was no Golden Label in my district, no where, so I bought cocoa in a package, where natural cocoa was written in the composition. We had a cocoa store at the St. Krupskaya in a brown-beige box and in my opinion Russia is called so there are flavors identical to natural ones, so why is such cocoa needed.

In my opinion, there is no Golden Label in Moscow ... And the Nesquiki are too sweet.

Golden label in Moscow in any normal store. factory Red October
