Process up your bits with a Kenwood

Advantages: Small, easy to store and good for those small jobs in the kitchen
Disadvantages: Will struggle with larger items

...I tend to spend quite some time in the kitchen these days but I don?t really mind as I do like cooking, I suppose that stems back to when I was ?cheffing? for a living. Anyway, back when I was ?cheffing? you had to do most things by hand, cooking wise that is, so it was a little more work back then. These days life in the kitchen is so much easier, what with all the mod-cons that are on the market to give chefs a little helping hand. One of them items, which I am the owner of and have been for some time, is the kenwood Multi Pro food processor/liquidiser. ** Brief specs? * White food processor. * Separate liquidizer. * 1.2 litre mixer capacity * 2.1 litre bowl capacity * 750 watt power * 2 speed and ?pulse? button * Safety interlock to prevent accidental start without lid. * Detachable blades for easy cleaning...

Kenwood Kettle comes to stay and stay and stay

Advantages: An efficient attractive kettle
Disadvantages: Hubby's fingers are a little big for under the handle

... Kenwood SJM270 Kettle I'll start off by saying that this is likely to be a pretty boring review!! It's a kettle for goodness sake - and don't we just take them for granted!! The kettle is probably my least used kitchen appliance now. My family are predominantly coffee drinkers (a cup of tea has not passed my lips for 38 years!!) and since I purchased my indispensable Senseo Coffee Machine it is VERY rare that I make a cup of instant coffee. But, of course, I do need a kettle for other things apart from tea and coffee and when my old one went to the big kettle skip in the sky I needed to go and look for a new one. My previous kettle had been brushed stainless steel, and to be honest I wasn't that keen, I found that it took a fair bit of cleaning to keep it looking decent. It is twelve months now since...

My Kenwood, My Friend

Advantages: Inexpensive and practical
Disadvantages: Rather noisy

... KENWOOD WHITE COMPACT FOOD PROCESSOR INTRODUCTION The food processor is probably my most used kitchen appliance (next to my trusty Senseo coffee machine!!) This review is about my current food processor, which is the Kenwood White Compact Food Processor that I bought from Argos about six years ago. I paid around £25 for the machine but on checking today I see that it is on sale in Argos (code number 420/0442) for £27.99, I have also seen them on Amazon for less than £20. I have, in the past, owned far more expensive and intricate food processors. But this machine is perfectly adequate for me, and I do a lot of cooking. Six years on it is still working well, making my pastry, whisking my eggs shredding my vegetables etc. I have been a Kenwood customer for forty years since my mum bought me my first Kenwood...

A toast to Kenwood

Advantages: Good price, nice toast, looks good
Disadvantages: None yet

...Debenhams. We had £100 worth as a wedding present and still had £25 left - the fact that it is our third wedding anniversary on 16th April is immaterial! We're not shopaholics then! I thought that it would be expensive at Debenhams but figured that it was worth a look; however I was in for a nice surprise. They had a Kenwood TTP103 four slice toaster in white for £20! So know you know why we needed a toaster, how and why we chose it and where we got it from I'm guessing you'd like to know a bit about it! Features It has a crumb tray into which will drop the crumbs from the toast. It slides out of the base of the toaster so that it can be emptied - I always put the resulting crumbs out for the birds. I also usually turn the toaster upside down and give it a bit of a shake to get the crumbs out that don't fall into the crumb tray...

Review of Kenwood TTP 103

My Kenwood Chef - we couldn't live without it

Advantages: Makes great cakes, drinks, pastry, biscuits, you name it, it does it
Disadvantages: Takes up lot of space

...This may not be the most modern of food mixers but I inherited mine from my mum and it?s still working perfectly. Yes they are cumbersome, yes they take up space, but compared to my food processor, my kenwood chef is brilliant for many things, especially meringues, which, try as I might, I had never been able to master in my 39 years!!!! I remember days spent as a child, in the kitchen with my mum on a Sunday, making delights such as bourbon biscuits and shortbread in her kenwood chef. After she died in 1995, the chef was given to my grandmother, as at that time I had my food processor and was happy with that. A few months ago my grandmother handed the chef over and boy am I glad she did. My meringues are better than Sara Lees and the kids are so impressed when I make any sort of meringue with it!!! My daughter and I have...

Kenwood KM010 - royalty in the kitchen

Advantages: It's simply the most powerful and majestic Kenwood
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...collection. I also tried the old accessories to see if any would fit the new machine - zilch! In one fowl swoop I gave away [nearly] all of my vintage Kenwood equipment safe in the knowledge that the new machine will probably out live me! So now I had a really powerful modern Kenwood with a [free] food processor, large glass liquidiser, superb stainless bowl, and all the traditional tools, to which I have added a new mincer. The machine is an utter joy to both own and use. The sheer power of the motor, the infinitely variable speed, the four power outlets, and the Kenwood's simply majestic presense in the kitchen makes mere plastic food mixers pale into insignificance. I'd like to be able to say that I have used it to make fantastic culinery creations, but I haven't. What I have done is to feed horrendous amounts of meat , gristle...

Kenwood Steams Ahead

Advantages: works very well
Disadvantages: none

...Kenwood KB9188 Steam Iron... I have always had really cheap irons until I decided that the time spent ironing was twice as long with a cheap iron. I paid out only a fraction more than I would usually when this Kenwood iron was on special at £10 from Argos. Its original price was around £15 but considering I usually only had Tesco Value Irons for less than a fiver this one cost the price of a couple of irons would usually do. I would have to say however that it was a total brilliant purchase on my behalf. The price paid was a bargain and I can't believe that I have been using cheap irons all this time. The Kenwood iron is heavy in weight and high in watts (2000). This means that it is able to sail through the ironing at a super quick time, I am not having to push hard on the clothing or go over it several times with just one swoop...

Kenwood's Classy Kettle

Advantages: Boils quickly, 360 degree base, cord storage
Disadvantages: cheap looking button!

...I had been using a cheap Cookworks kettle that was bought in the Argos sale for just £4.99 around 5 years ago and although it was very basic it had lasted me well. When it started to leak though, I had to look for a replacement, rather than run the risk of electrocuting myself! To be honest I don't use my kettle much - I only drink the occasional cup of tea and in recent weeks have been using it to fill my hot water bottle before bed (I can't stand the cold!), but otherwise it stands unused. Although I'd been satisfied with my cheap white plastic kettle in terms of function, I wanted something that looked a little bit smarter to replace it with. I prefer jug kettles and I knew I wanted stainless steel, but I particularly wanted matt or brushed stainless steel as I have a polished stainless steel bin in my bathroom, and know how awful...

Review of Kenwood SJM250

A Toast to Kenwood!

Advantages: Simple controls, easy enough to use, toasts 4 slices in one go!
Disadvantages: Struggles on home baked bread, body doesn't always stay cool in use, availability

...Kenwood; there's a name I haven't seen for a long time. I used to have a Hi fi unit with the name of Kenwood and although it wasn't the best it took me a few years to realise that the company who make kitchen appliances and Hi Fi's are not the same people! Doh! Well its harmless enough mistake to make given that the look of each brand emblem is virtually the same. These days however I have moved onto better things and replaced my old Hi Fi with an all in one unit, half the size and twice the amount of features. The same goes with my toaster. Having had a few cheapie brand names over the years such as Hinari, Bush and JMB from then, Index catalogue stores (bought over by Argos) and another similar toaster from Poundstretcher, one day my cheapie toaster no longer toasted. The problem was the fact that through 4 toasters throughout...

Review of Kenwood TT920

Kenwood FP250

Advantages: Cheap and good for carrots etc
Disadvantages: not fit for mixing dough

...Loved the price of this processor. Had it 2 weeks burnt motor out doing nothing too heavy on it 4 batches of soup and three bread mixes :( First day i used it i thought the burning smell was just it bedding in. Second time it was ok with just some onions, carrots, potatoes & roasted vegetables Last time i used it black smoke belched out the bottom of it, never a good sign in my opinion. Took it back to Tesco and got a refund. Last time i buy a Kenwood unless i can be talked back from this one. This was not a good buy even though price indicated it was going to be On up side it is great for chopping onions and carrots just pants at the more difficult stuff!!!...
