Kitchen machine Kenwood (1)

Don't hit me, but I judged differently: having a high-speed grater, I recently bought a low-speed grater (complete with a berry press). When you need to make high-speed salads in the fall, it is much more convenient, since 1) it allows you to work without interruption and, accordingly, process a large amount of vegetables 2) it has an outlet nozzle conveniently located (directed downward), you can substitute a basin, a bucket), but 3) it is not intended for small volumes (carrots for soup) and soft (or, on the contrary, hard) foods. In it, a couple of carrots will simply be lost, it will be necessary to scrape off the walls inside
And low-speed - grate cheese, chocolate, nuts, small quantities of vegetables ..
I thought and thought and decided, but let it be. And happy !!!!
But Zvezda dissuaded me about the combine, said that if I had a low-speed one and taking into account the fact that I had a Zepter mixer, it was not needed. While I have listened to her, but the worm of doubt (or rather deviceaholism) sharpens my soul ...

Good evening everyone!
I answer in detail and in order.
Ken got hers. Handsome and not at all huge and awkward. It is very compact and I am glad that I bought the 020.
The attachments, thank God and all the saints, came in full, all 4 are available + a silicone spatula + a glass blender + a wrench, I barely found it, looked at everything, felt and almost licked all the boxes 5 times, in general, if not for the warnings on this forum this clip is on cellophane, I would throw it away, or rather it has already been thrown away
Now about a few drops of tar in a barrel of honey (where can we go without it).
In Ken's instructions, where there are pages in Russian, the last section on removing and installing the lid on the bowl is not translated into Russian. I left this question open and decided to ask you. I could not remove the lid, although I really want to wash everything and start working tomorrow.
I think I saw somewhere that someone gave a link to Ken's instructions and recipes. Now I will try to search for this post. If anyone comes across, drop the link, pliz.
Ken's recipes also came on disk in many languages ​​besides Russian.
To celebrate after all this excitement, the pressure rose and the heart ached.
By the way, only now I discovered that the AT 444 ordered the potato peeler, that is, for the 010 machine. And I don’t know what to do now.
A message came to the soap that the package was sent to my address today, that is, there is no way to refuse.
In general, while from time to time I go into the kitchen and admire my handsome man.
Tomorrow I plan to knock minced meat on fish cakes and cook beeshki. For now I will not aim at the Kiev cake so that there are no unnecessary frustrations.
P.S. When beating meringues, is sugar poured immediately or poured in small portions? In general, is this reflected somewhere?
Still, it would be nice to reflect all this in separate topics here on the site. Painfully short instructions.
I sit down more comfortably and wait for your congratulations. I doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

Lyi. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
And what kind of cover are we talking about ?? Transparent from splashes ???
I didn't know about the key either, thanks to Natasha Kalmykova, otherwise I would have thrown it out ... of course I thought why this rubberized spatula was so heavy, but I didn't even know what the Chinese had hidden there.

[Panteracat]

Now I looked through the previous topics that I have not seen today, as I was in a hurry to share the joy of acquiring my Ken.
I answer.
Panteracat, Thank you for your offer!
If it is possible for you to buy attachments for Ken with the subsequent sending to me by mail, I would be just happy.
I live in a small village in the Krasnodar Territory. Neither here, nor in Temryuk (regional center), neither these machines, nor, moreover, attachments to them were not and are not expected.
The money is ready to be sent on your first click, it goes quickly if by telegraph, and through the Savings Bank in 2-3 days.
Only I am very worried that this will be a great burden for you. After all, this must not only be bought, but also sent by mail. I myself have lived all my life in big cities (I helped life all over Russia), so I know firsthand what it is like to waste time traveling inside the city. This is now retired and there is a lot of free time, but when you have a house, work, children, husband, you are spinning around to do everything.
So see for yourself, so that it is not a burden for you, but for me, of course, these purchases will be a joy.
Now I have bought an AT642 grater + pressing berries, an AT941 mill. There is also a Kenwood meat grinder separately, most likely I will not buy a juicer (or last but not least?)
The AT444 potato peeler, if it is not possible to adapt the machine to the 020, will have to buy a new one, that is, the AT 445.
All other nozzles and, first of all, AT970 rolling, AT 910, AT320 micro-grinder, sieve, I will purchase.
If necessary, I will drop my cell phone in PM.
Ela_ru, about the potato peeler, you already understood the answer, it was For the Chef 010.
Agata, thanks for the recipe link.
Girls!!! Thank you all for your congratulations !!!
Matroskin kotdear Ken? At what cost? I think, maybe because they were not there, the newly brought ones will be more expensive.
Leka, but could not remove the transparent cover from the splashes.

Just remove by pulling down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's all, but this is on condition that no mixer is inserted into the combine !!! That is, remove the stirrer and then the lid !!

And you generally opened the top already ... well, how to explain this thing itself where to insert the stirrers could open upwards ... there is a lever on the body at the bottom and it turned a little and this thing leans up

Dear, zar-times. He is 023 006, there is a meat grinder, and a blender, and a small grater, and the scales - my godless lies - came out in 30t. R., well, I will pay for delivery upon receipt. The family doesn't know if it's worth it. They'll kill you right away. Or not? Now I really want the nozzle. Dough sheeter - first of all. I also ordered a potato peeler, but the lad called me back and said that it would not suit me. Will seek. I will find you before, I will share a link, or I will buy and send, but this is when I find myself in Krasnodar-Rostov or in Ukraine. In the meantime, online stores. Congratulations again. I hope it will please you.

[Leka!]

Leka!
Yes, all manipulations written in the instructions on page 144 + 145, except for the last section. I did it safely.
I got to the section "How to install and use the splash cover" page 145. And this section is written in some unreadable language.
As a result, I could not do this, or rather did not experiment.
So, is it enough to pull this cover down? Or does it need to be rotated somehow?

Dear, zar-times. He is 023 006, there is a meat grinder, and a blender, and a small grater, and the scales - my godless lies - came out in 30t. R., well, I will pay for delivery upon receipt. The family doesn't know if it's worth it. They'll kill you right away. Or not?

I would not say that it is very expensive, I have a clean harvester of 21 thousand + ordered 3 nozzles, but they are not very expensive 9 thousand with a tail, that is, the same 30 thousand.
But I do not regret it, I am sure you will not regret it either.
And he looks sooooo worthy. The son came, looked and appreciated it visually (not knowing the cost) at 30 thousand, said that it was worth the money.

Lyi, I had no problems with the lid at all ... was it installed right away? I should have asked my son to remove it. Now it doesn't even hang tightly with me and it can be removed easily, there is just a notch in a circle around the curve ... in general, it is installed with a hinged lid to the side where the relay is
with speeds ..., lightly pressing, as if putting on the bulge for the attachments and removing by simply pulling down
Oh, what have I written, and I don't know if you will understand my compositions

Girls!!! Who did not have time to congratulate .... CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! For the third day I've been playing with this attachment ...

there is a set and a low-speed one (although I already had one ...) well, I'm in complete happiness ...and most importantly hubby is happy! She made him juice from grapes, sooooo decently and simply, myself from mango. And yesterday I did it from tomatoes, but there was no need for juice, so the adjichka is fresh from the tin ... in general, if you think ... ooooochen I advise. Now I don't use only a harvester and a blender. But from high-speed, I would never refuse .... nra nra she is to me !!! Tomorrow I will post pictures with juice (today there is no strength ..... a lying smiley)

Star .. I want this too .. I want to make fruit drinks .. and then I got too tired to twist a tomato on Strumka for me 100 kg (my muscles are already pumped up)

Well, it's not for a day, of course .. but in 3-5 days I process it into fruit drink and adjichka ... mine drink homemade tomato juice with pies and dumplings with potatoes. 3 l for 2 days

I tried to beat the meringue today, bummer.
3 eggs, and the nozzle doesn't even touch them.
It's good that I read here that you will need to release the nut. I can’t do it myself, I’ll have to wait for my son, this is until the weekend, he has no time before, and his eyesight is not very good, but here it’s almost a piece of jewelry. Daylight will be needed.
Who did, please give me a master class again. It is embarrassing that there is an insignificant rise in the center inside the bowl. Or does the whisk go in a circle without touching this pipette? And how did you track the distance to lower this attachment? There was a post about a toothpick (middle, edge?) The instructions say that the nozzle should ALMOST touch the bottom. And how should I measure it ALMOST?
Actually, this is a disgrace !!! Why should I, having paid a considerable amount of money, take a wrench in my hands and bring this car to working condition myself !!! Let's write a round-robin letter to the Kenwood office. I was so angry today that if I knew Kenwood's address in Russia, I would have already written there.
Since they gave the manufacture to China, then they must control.
I compare it with the Korean Kukushechka, I got it there and without any problems I immediately cook, steam, fry ...
But how Ken beat off the mince! The patties were FABULOUSLY airy.
P.S. And I’m still glad that I bought Ken, even though she’s angry at the Chinese people, that they manage to spoil such a good thing with their performance.

When you adjust the nozzles, pour some flour on the bottom of the bowl and you will see whether the nozzle reaches the bottom or not. It is inconvenient to unscrew the nut on the whisk, since you have to turn it with your right hand, and hold the nozzle with your left hand and bend the wires terribly. So do not rush ... I just thought, can I put a rod with a nut in hot water, and then unscrew it? But this problem occurs only once, then tighten the nut under your own strength.

Girls, I also didn't want to whip up 3 squirrels, I added the 4th without any problems and that's it ... a full bowl of strong "Peaks", I never touched the nut .. out of harm's way .. but in my recipes or 4 squirrel or 6 ... so no problem !!! I think for the first time and 4 you can beat it is not critical

I would also like to write about my impressions of the berry press. I hoped that he would greatly facilitate my work in the processing of grapes and tomatoes. So, it didn't work for me. The grapes were with seeds and cake, the auger immediately spoiled me, washed the edges. Surprisingly, Kenwood made this important part out of plastic. Further ... the net through which the juice passes is instantly clogged with pulp. Literally a couple of handfuls and had to untwist to clean the mesh. In short, I again twisted the grapes by hand through the "Strumok", and rubbed the tomatoes through a sieve. This attachment will go for a glass of juice, but no more ...

[Lena Vo7]

Lena Vo7Thanks for the flour tip. This should help so as not to severely damage the whisk. I suppose that in this case, I can pour the required (in height) amount of flour, that is, the thickness of a toothpick. I'm right? Or need less than the thickness of the middle of a toothpick?
As far as I understand, you can first unscrew the nut on the nozzle without inserting it into the lid, so that it is easier and not to bend the wire, and then insert it when you directly adjust (lower, raise). Yes?
Liudmilka, where can we get these healthy men? Not available.Alas! And those who are, are far away.
Leka, all the same I would venture to omit. Just haven't decided to just adjust the whisk or all the attachments? Although the cream also needs a small amount. You may have to work with 100 grams of oil.
LenaVO7, Upset About The Berry Press. I have this attachment, and I bought it mainly for pomegranates and grapes.
And what kind of "Strumok" do you have? Can't you show it with a picture? Or a link to the site where it is drawn.

[b Lyi] [/ b]! I twisted all the nozzles, checked the height by ear - it scratches along the bottom or not. But I had to check it several times. The most difficult nozzle to unscrew is the whisk, because the wires are bent. But it will still unscrew, do not hesitate. And I removed the cover from the splashes altogether, it bothers me.
In a juicer, the mesh really quickly clogs. Black currant - 2-3 peels are required for 2-3 kg. Red currant - 1 peel.
Oh, and in general, congratulations!

I got clogged much more often, I sorted out and collected more than pressed the juice ...

Thanks for the compliments.
In any case, I'm happy with the purchase. Well, and with the help of the whole world (site) I will try to cope with the little things.
That is, I can lower the nozzles and lower the toothpicks (landmark), if it does not scratch along the bottom?
Are you writing about a juicer or a berry press that ElenaVo7 talked about? If about the press, then it's good, one cleaning per kg, that is, enough for 2 grenades. I don't need any more, I drank a second glass and it's good.

Yes, about the press. Lena and I bought together and used almost simultaneously. Probably not very suitable for large volumes.

[Lyi]

I wrote that for 1-2 glasses of juice (not from berries such as currants-raspberries) is suitable, but it is not convenient for blanks. Manual, which I wrote about here 🔗

Lenochka !! Natasha ..... maybe your grapes are somehow wrong ..: pardon: the truth is, the instructions say-WITHOUT seeds !!! Here's my juice ... no problem at all !!! It was 900g and after (without removing) I rubbed 2 mangoes and a pear ... then there was nowhere to pour the juice (look at the cooking time) and we stopped ... but it was still possible to cook ...

No, grapes are fine. And here is black currant - zabivaka!

[zvezda]

zvezda
Olyush, I had grapes with seeds, I even spoiled a screw with them, and with a rather thick pulp. In short, I was worn out and for my needs this nozzle turned out to be not very relevant ... More wiping sieve helped.

Yesterday I specially went to two Kiev Foxtrots on the left bank. What can I say? In only one pair of "large" Kenwood blenders, and in general, the choice of harvesters is scanty. In the second KM 020 for some incredible money (5700 or something like that). Nearby in Eldorado stand KM 010, 070, there are several attachments, but all for more than full price.

Hello everyone! I nevertheless decided to buy a high-speed grater, I kept thinking whether I needed it or not. I do not make large vegetable preparations, but I won over that you can cut French fries. And in general, I want the whole set to be available. And I also bought a citrus juicer, because orange juice is very respected. Does anyone already have experience with such a juicer? Share pliz!

[fabiani]

fabiani
I have a citrus juicer, but I only used it once as a juicer

The choice of attachments is a completely individual matter.I've been using the citrus attachment all season long to make orange juice. Very healthy and tasty. And the second juicer is also worth the whole apple and pumpkin season. And my friend does not make juices and considers these attachments unnecessary. Just like the windmill and the carrot. They only love noodles and bought AT972. And we eat pasta and use AT 974. So you need to buy according to your needs. And they each have their own!

Girls, hello. Occasionally looking through this topic, I see that this unit is very popular (there is no other so much talk). So I want to know why it is so wonderful, and most importantly, how it differs from other food processors that are more affordable. After all, his price is wow. Thank you.

[veta]

veta ! I can answer. The harvester is good for its high power (1400-1500 W) and very durable mixing attachments, which allows you to perfectly knead the dough on bread and dumplings. In addition, it is possible to purchase additional attachments, many of which are not presented in any other combine. Plus proven quality. I think the price is justified.

Here, about the pasta, tell us, please, how popular it is? And the quality of macaroons? We eat pasta 2-3 times a week. Better, at any rate, than rice. Rice - only pilaf or milk porridge, the same with buckwheat. And what are the most "successful" tips? I understand that everything is individual, but does anyone have, say, a bad experience of use? Here, in order, and so to dissuade me - they say, do not foolishly, citizeness - and eat MacFoo? And then my raking hands already need pasta

But I ordered a roll-out, so I'm waiting for confirmation tomorrow that my money has been dropped on their account and I will be happy, and there is for 1 UAH. rolling 974, for spaghetti

Svetik !!! I have all the attachments .... what do you doubt ??? Rather what?
Veta !!! The main difference is that this is not a COMBINE !!!! A professional KITCHEN MACHINE !!!! Well, a comparison .... a bicycle and a Mercedes (by the way, she is of this class)

Asterisk, I'm just torturing everyone, how often do you use a citrus juicer ??? And in general, you have it involved ??? And then we have oranges only in winter, and so from a hunt, but the elder loves the juice, and the younger one is nizzyaya, and I think what else I want to come up with

I personally quite often ... even squeeze lemon juice, because it goes wherever ... and into a fish and into baked goods ... and in general. Here is a large juicer not so often .... but for me, so let it be !!!

Congratulations! I bought 020 Ken yesterday - I was stunned with happiness! In the store, she stunned the seller with the knowledge of the package, the poor man was looking for a key at half past eight in the evening (let him suffer now that he did not sell a complete set, he does not know what he is selling). I was worn out all over, how can I reach home such a burden without the help of a taxi and I cannot enter the minibus with such a huge box - naive, he did not know that I still had a "light bag", but for deviceaholics this is no reason to doubt their forces and in general they just had few attachments and too high prices, otherwise ...

I freed the shelves, the drawers, the family is at a loss, why such a zeal for cleaning in the morning. And I'm waiting for Ken ... Like a Barbie. My husband doesn't know the size of the box. and mom will need to get rid of the guests. Otherwise I ... I'm afraid even to think that they will tell me about my extravagance, etc. And I also ordered the rose bushes in advance. Small but pleasant, there will be revenge.

Today I again grated cheese on a low speed and was so happy, so happy !!!

And we rubbed the cheese there too ..... I generally love this nozzle !!!

Who knows ? The set includes a coupon for ordering a book of recipes, the letter must be sent to Moscow. Is it just for Russia or for Ukraine too?

Girls, hello everyone! I have a question for you, in the spring I will be in Rostov and Donetsk, where is it better to buy Ken in Russia or in Donetsk? The only thing that confuses me is whether there will be problems with customs, tell me who knows ...and if possible, the addresses of stores in Donetsk and Rostov (if not difficult), where you can buy entu miracle equipment with a full set of nozzles, or where is the best choice, price and quality. Thank you all in advance. The answer can be in a personal.

There may be problems with customs. The fact is that you can import / export equipment worth up to 200 euros duty-free.
as an option, it is proposed to damage (slightly contaminate) the packaging, remove the parts from their own bags and polystyrene, in order to declare - used equipment.

Well, with the customs, yes, how lucky. On the way to Ukraine, they shook, weighed, smelled, etc., moreover, with Ukrainian. sides. Maybe our faces were wrong. Conversely, I even FAT! I was afraid to take, suddenly they will be removed. So no one looked into the car in Donetsk, apparently to buy it cheaper than in Rostov. And sales, again. I quietly envy the prices here. Rarely, but there are discounts. Girls, and someone has potato peelers, as an attachment to machines. Tell me, do I need it? And then an unhealthy passion grips me, towards deviceaholics and under increased protection.

[matroskin_kot]

matroskin_kot I have a potato peeler, I keep it for young potatoes, I also peeled carrots ..... I liked it, you don't need to stain your hands like that

M-dya ...... well, I’m just sitting in disheveled feelings, what to do ... what to do, I want this car ...... and I don’t want it dear and I want everything at once ........

Another got infected And I told you what I told you!
Svetlana, you slowly find out the prices, some girls buy nozzles, and save money for a typewriter. Relatives or friends can be involved in this disastrous process in Donetsk. Especially if a sale or some rare attachments are on sale. Well, and then - buy the combine itself. What if there’s a stock on him, again. Well, now you won't be bored.

I can say from a potato peeler that young potatoes are excellent, old ones - only if they are perfectly flat without eyes and dents, otherwise you have to clean up and cut with your hands. But with large volumes of potatoes, in any case, it is faster and more convenient than pens, I'm happy with it And it is inexpensive, so I advise

Girls from Rostov, please respond ... you can really help ..... at least explain where and what in Rostov you can buy to the car, and the car itself, at a more or less reasonable price, I will be glad for any help =) ))

[Lyi]

Lyi, here is your sieve, which I already have:

Now I'll go to the post office to find out about the postage.

Pantera Kat, Tanyusha!
Is the sieve placed directly in Ken's bowl?
I lick my lips and already plan on how to test it. I came up with - marmalade, rub the apples, which I cooked in the oven in the summer and twisted as a filling for pies, add plum jam. In general, I will experiment.
I'm almost jumping up and down in anticipation of tomorrow. I prepared all the extracts, put them in a bag, so that by the opening of the savings bank to be the first and denyuzhki quickly left for you.

So, what is most interesting ... and there is money to buy this miracle, but we do not sell them ... I'm afraid through the Internet, the road is very long, but in April I will be on vacation, I think to buy there in the west and bring it ...

Svetlana25!
A familiar phenomenon. But you should have an easier situation if you are in Komsomolsk on the Amur itself. You should have transport campaigns that are calm and much cheaper than mail, (especially the railway campaign) will bring the necessary things to you. Find out in Komsomolsk, actually through Yandex or Google, and in the internet you can find out what campaigns you have available.
Almost all Internet shops work with transport campaigns, but not all of them agree through the mail. Although there are 2 options via mail, ordinary and EMC, that is, expedited delivery, it is more expensive, but better control and parcels arrive faster.
In Ukraine, of course, the machines themselves and their attachments are much cheaper than in Russia (judging by the prices of Internet shops), but if you don’t buy on vacation, or it becomes unbearable to wait for a vacation, take a chance on Internet shops. I received both the KM 020 machine and the Cuckoo 1054 multicooker through the Internet.Thank God everything went well, ugh, ugh ... not to jinx it.
Dare and be patient to you.

panteracat, tell me about the a-t992 sieve nozzle, because the seller assured the cheff that it is non-versatile and for the major, purchased this nozzle in the store, set it to 020 kenwood, but it is clear that the pin diameter of this nozzle is less than the diameter of the same native nozzles - a hook, a whisk, so when the nozzle is inserted into the retainer, it seems to dangle and even if you tighten the nut on the nozzle to the maximum, it still strongly clings to the bottom of the sieve, from this either bend the blades on the nozzle or even return it to the store and order at930

[swetlana25]

swetlana25! As far as I understand, our machines and attachments are cheaper. I think we can help you. We ordered several attachments from the official representative of Delongy, and we bought the harvesters from our place in Donetsk. Everyone is happy.
The potato peeler is a great tool, especially for those who love nut-sized young potatoes. I wish I had bought it much earlier, I thought it was a toy. But it turned out to be irreplaceable! Only now it is released not with emery, but with plastic sharp little pimples. It's even better - easy to clean.

[Svetlana25]

Lyi, and through which Internet store you ordered your equipment, it's better to follow the proven path. And I live in the city itself and about train. I will clarify the transportation. Thanks for the tip ..... I'll keep in mind.

Svetlana25, I used different stores. Usually, if a store let someone down, the internet is full of negative reviews. Moreover, sometimes I look here 🔗
to the "consumer blacklist". You can also ask here on the site if anyone received the goods in this store.
Good luck. I see the girls from Donetsk have already responded to your help.
How many good people are around us!

======================

Approbation of Kenwood KM020 and questions raised:
Today, after all the manipulations with tightening the nuts at the Ken's whisk, I tried my Ken on the Air Snickers cakehttps://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...topic=102475.40#msg396286.
It is a pity that the fotik did not work. I will try to explain in words.
After I finished whipping the protein cream, I had the following picture in Ken's bucket: a full whisk of cream, everything else scattered on the walls. Although the cream in the spoon stood as it should be.
Beat 3 eggs + 2/3 cups of sugar.
This means I did not twist the cream a little, did you need to beat it yet? I beat for 10 minutes, but since I did not know at what speed I needed to beat, I mostly beat at 4th speed. Which one do you need? Not in instructions, not in recipes.
A lot of protein cream crammed into the whisk, it's not good to get it out, maybe you have been using it for a long time, have you found some way of getting the cream out of the whisk? Of course I got it, but I would not like to "reinvent the wheel" if someone has already figured out how to do it.
I'm waiting for advice.

=====================

Svetlana25, rummaged through my bookmarks and found the site of the railway expedition, which delivers goods.
Komsomolsk on the Amur is there
🔗
As far as I remember, there is even a calculation of the cost of delivery of the goods, you can calculate the cost of transportation yourself. Look through this site, if you do not find it, I will look for something else.
If you need other transport campaigns, write which ones, I will tell you the sites where they live.
By the way, when you buy in Ukraine, just in case, add customs duty to the price of the item. It's good if you manage to cheat, but ... nobody canceled the law of meanness, and it's not an option that it won't work for you.
And then, the thing is quite heavy and cumbersome, how do you plan your return trip. Immediately on the train, or many, many changes, or another arrival in another city.
Good luck. I'm sure everything will turn out very well.
