Help choosing food processor

You get the Chef then the attachments are to buy seperate so you can buy what you use instead of having 5 you never use http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/product_category.php?cat=269

I have the Kenwood Multipro which I don't like (because I want a Chef!!!) and I still have to have a big box full of the parts for it as it doesn't all store inside it. http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/product_detail.php?cat=211&id=122 yes it takes up less work bench space for just the unit and tub, but you can't store everything in there. Loads of bits with it I will probably never use.

i was going to put a kenwood chef on my wedding list but instead have put a magimix. it is £200 (the second to top one) and comes with various bowls and attachments. i am going for that as i am more likely to do chopping etc than loads of baking i think. my friend who is a chef recommended it.

Had a Kenwood Chef for years before that, but found it better suited primarily to baking (mixing, kneading etc).

Since "converted" to Magimix and now wouldn't be without one. Incidentally, Magimix is generally what you see chefs on TV using e.g. Delia, Ready Steady Cook, Saturday Kitchen. Not that this automatically makes it better than anything else, but you get a feel for the range of uses it has.

One thing, it's not an ideal "blender". It will blend, but if the result is very runny, then you're likely to get some leakage through the central part of the bowl. Have a look at the bowl and you'll see what I mean. That said, I have a Sainsbury's Basic stick blender that cost £3.99, instead

I hope I don't get in to trouble for cross-posting but I just thought that I would let you know that Amazon have an offer on that ends today that if you spend over £150 on selected kitchen appliances then you get £50 off. I have just ordered a Magimix 4200XL satin finish for £149 including free delivery.

Note - be careful when you are checking these out as most of them come from a third party supplier and therefore the £50 discount won't apply. I was fortunate that I did want the satin finish one and therefore the discount applied.

Thanks Mardrew,

I've been after a Kenwood chef for a while, your post gave me the excuse to go ahead and buy one.

Hello peeps :hello:

There seems a lot of kitchen electrical appliances on the market, (who's idea was it to confuse us?) which I have no idea about, just wondering which kitchen appliance I need to make breadcrumbs, (at the cheapest price)

angie_loves_veg

To make breadcrumbs, all you really need imho, is a coarse cheesegrater...... now if you are actually asking which electrical gadget would also do this and a gezillion other things and be ultra useful in the kitchen, then I would have to mention my stick blender with its little chopper attatchment - I use it for everything, and it is worth every pernny of its purchase price...

Both my ancient liquidiser (part of my old faithful Kenwood) and DH's new processor are good for breadcrumbs....Mum used to dry the bread in the oven while she was cooking something else and then use a cheese grater and do them by hand, tho', so I guess that's the cheapest option!
