Kenwood Cooking Chef | Williams-Sonoma

[@olivier8446]

The Kenwood stand mixer is the equivalent in Europe of US Kitchen Aid, and is a great appliance. I own this Cooking Chef since two years, it has proven to be a great help in the kitchen as you can let the machine cook while you do other things. It's great also for vanilla sauce, jams, let bread dough raise, melt chocolate, butter... Very good quality, but beware with attachments, as not all of them do go into the dishwasher.

[@jadenguyen6013]

What country are you living? I have just bought km094 but the flexible beater has problem, I should carry to the customer service? I live in holland now

[@olivier8446]

+jade nguyen Switzerland. Which problem are you facing?

[@garth56]

Kenwood is a much superior beast believe me I know

[@Stakar0gord]

Ken Wood started the company about 50 years ago. The cooking chef is one of the more recent product lines. I have owned their products and really do believe that they are tops.

[@sashineb.2114]

I remember when we had them in the stores, but now only the Titanium mixer is available at Costco or Amazon. No attachments are available anywhere in North America. And without much presence here, it means lack of service if a repair is needed.

[@gobby39]

I had a kenwood major in the early 90's. Nothing but trouble, always going off if it would start at all. Scrapped it after 3 years along with hundreds of pounds of attachments and went for magimix 5000. Much easier, faster, better results and didn't take up a shelf of attachments.

[@sashineb.2114]

Wow, that would have been very frustrating. I was thinking of getting the Titanium Kenwood mixer, but here in North America, it's hard to get, plus there are no additional attachment, no service. So if I ended up with a mixer like the one you had, it would be a waste of money since there are no repair centres for this.

[@JPemberton]

Probably use the splash guard to pour in all the ingredients. I agree with you, so that's probably the easiest and safest way to add ingredients while the Kenwood is hot.

[@MoonLightOnWater1]

I am searching for this mixer and cannot find it in the USA.....is there something similar out there? This looks amazing!

[@sashineb.2114]

Kenwood products are very hard to get in North America. I haven't seen them in stores in years. I don't think the Cooking Chef is available any longer here. Very popular in Europe, but not much of a market for North America. You could write to them at their website, but I found that their "help" is of no help at all.

[@bagelboi66]

It looks like a fun thing if you dislike cooking, love appliances, and have money to burn. Most of us who love to cook will chop three shallots with a knife, and stand at the hob fussing over our risotto. Good cooking is hands on.

[@kubilaytuncer3723]

You can also see it like this: It's a fun thing if you love cooking, hate appliances and want to save money. Because with all the (optional) attachments like the mixer, blender, food processor, meat mincer(also sausages), wheat grinder, citrus press, coffee mill, juice extractor, ice maker and pasta maker(all kinds) you can make almost anything in the ease of your own home and combine 20 appliances into just one all-in-one solution. So you can make anything you want at home, making it amazing for people who love cooking. You don't have to buy 20 appliances, instead you just need to buy one. So you also save money and space. But still I partly agree with you. I wouldn't use the cooker to actually cook on it. I would use it for things like: puddings, tempering chocolate, mouses etc. Because you can set the temp to a specific number and the machine continuously stirs for you.

[@MrWoodwhitler]

I think i saw he brushing her hand against the top of the bowl when she was pouring stuff in. Does the entire bowl get hot, or not the top or?

[@suryamoorthy4924]

its like comparing a covette with a bugatti or a harley with a ducatti guess which one has grace pace and style?there was a damning consymer report on th.e kenwood. Can someone elaborate i already use the kenwood xl titanium and i want another similar whilst the kitchen aid remains idle

[@sashineb.2114]

Hi ... can you please tell more about the report for Kenwood on the consumers site? Did they not like the Kenwood? I've read that most people who have used both Kenwood and KitchenAid end up being more impressed by the Kenwood. Thanks.

[@prasannarn946]

I don't think she removed the blade covers when chopping the onions :P

[@99sixstring]

Well, maybe not just risotto, but it´ll work out great to make some sweets, setting the temperature to smoe required level and then add milk, cream, eggs, aso and heat it up to make some basic ice-cream (I don´t know how you call it in english). It´s way easier than setting up a water bowl, heating it and stir the mixture until it´s ready. x-mas is getting close....we´ll see :-)

[@fafeifa]

the titanium chef is nice, i was curious about the cooking chef but it seems to me that creates more problems than what is trying to solve, who would wash all those gadgets for chopping 3 onions, small space to poor ingredients, oil splashing to the plastic guards, also when the food is done i notice the tilt mechanism is quite low and all that steam and condensation or worse food can get into the tilt opening. Also the accessories alone seems to me a full load of dishwasher for every meal... really i would like to see anyone who is into cooking makes daily meals with this thing

[@SilverCymbal]

Looks like the rube goldberg machine. Only 800 attachments to store.

[@hibbanoor2102]

i want to buy this machine

[@07tacconi]

Is this machine is kenwood km096? If yes could you please share with me original kenwood codes of ''Dough opening'' and '''Dough cutting''(For pasta) tools..Whic are compatible tools for Kenwood KM096..I have just bought km096 set.And I am planning to buy mentioned optional tools..Thanks..

[@bcarlo25]

All this for some risotto! It's much easier to make in a normal pot! It even looks like a pain in the ass to add rice!

[@ManazEffects]

Hi there, can the cooking chef safely melt, heat (using the induction technology), and agitate (stir using the constant speed) waxes and oils for cosmetic making purposes. Thanks, Manaza

[@suryamoorthy4924]

HA ur thinking of shea butter ? the possibilities are endless !

[@amandaminder6038]

I see how this could probably be helpful if you cook very very often and have a small kitchen, so I don't think it's all bad.

[@someonesomewhere6633]

He probably means that the food is not a "personal, unique" creation and you use a machine rather than traditionally putting your heart and effort to the meal. It's a matter of preference really as well as spare time.

[@KenwoodChefRestoreLimitedUK]

yo no need oven gloves to handle the bowl inclusive when is hot, the handles are already protected

[@michaelharding1335]

Why isn’t this available in America yet???

[@sashineb.2114]

It was available years ago (around 2012), but Kenwood seems to have pulled out of the North American market. KitchenAid is much more popular. Kenwood Titanium mixers can be bought online at Amazon, though. Also, if a European machine breaks or needs servicing, where in North America does a person get it fixed?

[@MindbodyMedic]

6:25 design flaw. dripping food onto a heating element = burnt mess that needs cleaning. still, I want one

[@hafsatlawal6389]

hello how much please

[@8SnackpacK6]

I thought this certain product has been available fifty years in europe. I meant its sad that America took that long to sell something similar. But like i thought, this product is rather new everywhere. I can see more people buying it if it becomes less expensive

[@sadaftahseen9370]

Price

[@anaadrianabarna9850]

three fiddy

[@ingve1974]

So Risotto is just rice with onion? I had no idea.

[@iPat6G]

It is.

[@شیواشافعی-د8ح]

Very very good

[@elianaaparecidaalves3662]

Great!

[@heribertozavala2530]

Ill stick with my Kitchen aid stand mixer my pots and pans and the stove top.

[@dejavu4040]

Yes, me too

[@jadenguyen6013]

😀

[@garth56]

The Kitchen Aid is pants weak motor for one thing much better with 2 or 3 times the power of the Kenwood..I bought a Kitchen Aid I really had to get rid of it..I now have a KMix far more powerful..But I like pots pans knives and the stove so on this I agree

[@puritamoar2921]

[@C4NDYV0M1T]

This seems like it would be too much. And it seems way hard to pour things in without almost burning yourself...

[@gvahlg6001]

She should have ised the fill thing on the splash guard, touching the lower part of the bowl sounds like a bad time though

[@htstd73]

The only thing missing from Kenwood is the ravioli attachment

[@sashineb.2114]

I think they have one now, but with the pandemic, stock is low from a lot of manufacturers.

[@edstar83]

Cooking chef? Thats a little over the top. i'll stick with my kenwood chef titanium. Happy with it. Also happy with my oven n stove top.

[@fonghuiling7124]

Kenwood chef XL sense

[@ILoveModelRailways]

"Ris - O - tto" and "Shall - A - ts"????? Ah, our wonderful colonial cousins! What was it Oscar Wilde said ... "America and England. Two nations divided by a common language".

[@danifere]

Nice, but I stay with Thermomix. Less attachments , everything in one bowl and less mess.

[@TheCraftingPickaxe]

what do you mean

[@jellyfishezie]

hmm

[@mamafofo331]

كم سعرها ووين احصلها انا في جده

[@8SnackpacK6]

Has this really been available in Europe for 50 years? If that's true then that's sad!

[@sashineb.2114]

No, it came out around 2012. The ordinary Kenwood mixers have been available for over 50 years, but they are mixers that do not cook, similar to KitchenAids.

[@lillwolff2353]

Why do the presenters always cook Risotto? I detest wet rice and it will put me off the machine right away. I have had Kenwoods for the last 45 years and love them but this one? NNNNOOOOO

[@CheekyMaintenanceMan]

Shallot has an O as it's penultimate letter not an A !!!

[@reinplat]

She could sell me any machine, no matter how crappy.

[@iPat6G]

Except this machine is awesome.

[@DTSTANGO]

Pretty lady.....

[@TRASHoftheTITANS]

That's not really risotto, it's just oniony rice :/

[@TheChiilliPepper]

That rissotto is not ok... isnotwell cooked

[@sigma_kappa]

If anyone cooks like this, well....they don't know how to cook.

[@garsingwong]

Looks like vomit

[@hadzhas5137]

Complicated machine

[@jadenguyen6013]

not complicated at all. it is a thing which makes women happier, like washing machine which was invented the first time in the past, like an advanced step in a revolution

[@suryamoorthy4924]

Its a breeze to use .Can u live without it ?
