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
Il Titanium Chef Patissier XL è in grado di offrire tutto ciò che ti aspetteresti da un’ottima impastatrice planetaria, grazie a un motore da 1400W e strumenti in acciaio inossidabile resistenti. Perché questa non è sicuramente solo la tua impastatrice planetaria media.
In primo luogo, c'è la ciotola EasyWarm in acciaio inox da 7L che può essere utilizzata per riscaldare delicatamente gli ingredienti, perfetta per fondere burro o cioccolato e persino per far lievitare l'impasto. E poi ci sono le bilance EasyWeigh integrate che ti consentono di pesare gli ingredienti direttamente nella ciotola mentre cucini senza problemi e con molto meno da lavare, mentre l’intelligente funzionalità touchscreen con sei funzioni preimpostate di SimpleTouch rende le operazioni di cottura quotidiane disponibili con il semplice tocco di un pulsante.
Tutte le caratteristiche innovative del mixer sono progettate con cura per aiutarti a ottenere i migliori risultati con facilità. All'interno della ciotola EasyWarm, quindi, è possibile inserire comodamente una seconda ciotola da 5L, che può essere facilmente sostituita quando una ricetta richiede più di una ciotola. È inoltre disponibile il sistema di illuminazione all’interno della ciotola per aiutarti a vedere meglio il colore e la consistenza del tuo composto, e un'operazione di sollevamento con una sola mano per aggiungere facilmente ingredienti extra.
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.
