Thinking of getting a Kenwood chef.

  • My mum bought one of these when I was a little girl 40+ years ago and its still going strong. She got the blender to use with it (mostly used for coffee beans - the soup was vile), she also got a mincer and sausage maker which caused many hours of hilarity in the kitchen (you cant help but laugh when they come out). She has used the K beater for hundreds, maybe even thousands of cakes as the capacity is bigger than a food processor. So its still going strong after 40 plus years. I always thought it was a bit large and unwieldy though and never bought one - I have a kenwood food processor.

    I had mine bought as a wedding (1st time around) present back in 1972 and it's still going strong! They cost £25 then.....The only attatchment I haven't had much use for is the slicer/shredder - easier to use a grater or nowadays a processor.I use it regularly for bread and batch baking cakes.Well worth the money!!

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Wouldn't be without mine! Wore out the motor on my first doing loads of bread dough, have had current model since early 80's.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • All I use is a Magic Bullet for chopping stuff and I have a hand blender which cost me just under £4. For bashing and crushing I give my muscles a good work out and use a pestle and mortar.
