KENWOOD KMIX
POWER 1,000 watts SPEED SETTINGS 6 CAPACITY 5-litre bowl PRICE £449.99
Whether you’re a beginner, a casual baker or more experienced, the kmix stand mixer offers something for everyone. Not only is it incredibly easy to control with six speeds and a fold option, but its five-litre heatproof glass bowl also allows you to see exactly what’s going on inside – putting paid to pesky flour lumps. It also features a powerful motor designed to handle up to 1.35kg of difficult dough. On the downside, thanks to its metal body, it’s a hefty 10.9kg. During testing, this mixer was fuss-free to use, staying reassuringly steady on the worktop even at high speeds. It produced everything from light, fluffy doughnuts to crisp meringue and thick whipped cream for pavlovas perfectly. Another plus is the sheer range of compatible attachments, which include
‘PLAN TO USE YOUR MIXER FOR MORE THAN MIXING? LOOK FOR MODELS THAT HAVE AN ARRAY OF ATTACHMENTS, LIKE PASTA MAKERS OR BLENDERS’
a pasta cutter, grinding mill, dicer and spaghetti maker. It comes in four colours and all the parts are dishwasher-safe.
