Common FAQ's

• Can I get a Food Processor for my Chef / Major so I don’t need two separate machines?

  Yes, but it’s only available for the KM020 and KM023 models. For all other models the liquidiser, mincer and slicer and shredder will carry out some of the functions of a food processor.

• Can my Hand Blender crush ice?

  For safety reasons, this is not advised. If you wish to crush ice a Kenwood Blender would be more appropriate.

• What is the difference between a Food Processor and a Kitchen Machine?

  A Kitchen Machine is Primarily for mixing dough and cake mixtures. A Food Processor can do these jobs but not with the efficiency of a kitchen machine. If you are planning on making cakes you should consider how much you will be doing this job. If it is going to be a common occurrence then a Kitchen Machine would be a better choice. It is worth taking note of the fact that a Food Processor is far smaller than a chef.
