Getting the most from your stand mixer – a guide to the Titanium Chef Patissier XL, Cooking Chef XL and Titanium Chef Baker
Thinking of buying a Kenwood stand mixer? In this guide we’ll give you the lowdown on three models from our range; the Titanium Chef Patissier XL, the Cooking Chef XL and the Titanium Chef Baker, and explain why these versatile kitchen companions deserve to take pride of place on your worktop.
Why are stand mixers so popular?
Often referred to as being a much-needed extra pair of hands in the kitchen, think of a stand mixer as your own personal sous chef. Whether you’re baking or cooking, your stand mixer can perform a vast range of tasks - from combining ingredients to whisking egg whites or kneading dough, more quickly and more efficiently than you ever could by hand. And while they’re hard at work you’ve got your hands free to work on another part of a recipe; saving you prep time and effort and helping you achieve better results too. And that’s not all. Some of the stand mixers included here can also be used to weigh ingredients and even cook them, while the range of over 25 additional attachments available for the Chef range mean your stand mixer’s talents can be even further extended to include spiralizing vegetables, blending smoothies, making juice, grinding meat and more.
The Titanium Chef Patissier XL
Mixes, whisks, kneads… with an impressive 1400W motor and durable stainless steel tools the Titanium Chef Patissier XL can do everything you would expect of a premium stand mixer- and then some. Because this is definitely not just your average stand mixer.
Firstly, there’s the 7L stainless steel EasyWarm bowl which can be used to gently warm your ingredients; perfect for melting butter or chocolate, and even for proving dough. Then there’s the built-in EasyWeigh scales that allow you to weigh ingredients directly into your bowl as you go for mess-free baking and a lot less washing up, while the clever touchscreen functionality with six SimpleTouch preset functions make everyday baking tasks available at just the touch of a button.
All the mixer’s innovative features are thoughtfully designed to help you achieve the best results with ease. So, conveniently nesting inside the EasyWarm bowl is a second 5L mixing bowl, which can be seamlessly swapped in when a recipe calls for more than one bowl. There’s also the in-bowl illumination to help you better see the colour and consistency of your mix, and a one-handed mixer head lift so you can easily add extra ingredients as you go.
What can I use the Titanium Chef Patissier XL for?
If you love baking, the possibilities really are endless with a machine this versatile - from cakes, breads and pastries to pavlovas and mousses. The six easy-to-use presets include dough proving (reducing proving times by a third when compared with a standard Kenwood mixer), dough kneading, all in one cake, egg white whisking and Swiss meringue. Why not put all the mixer’s intuitive design features to the test and make this delicious Coconut and Lemon Buttercream Cake you’ll whip up the lemon Swiss meringue buttercream in no time.
You can also melt chocolate faster than when using a bain marie thanks to the EasyWarm bowl, which comes in very handy when making these irresistible dark chocolate and orange madeleines.
The large capacity bowl and consistent power for mixing both light and dense ingredients makes for beautifully light and airy cake batters, every time; a stunning celebration cake with buttercream always goes down well.
Which attachments can I use with it?
The Titanium Chef Patissier XL comes with a selection of incredibly durable, multi-tasking bowl tools as standard, including a dough tool, whisk and creaming beater, which is fantastic for creating the smoothest buttercream and frosting mixes, with flexible rubber wings that scrape all around the edge of the bowl, just like a spatula.
Then there are all the additional attachments available to purchase, such as a blender, spiralizer, food mincer, juicer and a range of pasta shapers. We like to think there’s an attachment for every dish, so you can personalise your stand mixer so that it meets even more of your culinary needs.
