Kenwood KVC3100S Chef Premier Stand Mixer, Silver

Product Information

We measured how much electricity each stand mixer used to mix cake batter, knead dough and whisk egg whites. A further complication is that, due to its extra height, any accessory fitted to the orbital hub of the Major must be longer than its Chef counterpart, so Major and Chef attachments for this hub are incompatible. This includes beaters, which need to reach to the bottom of the bowl, potato peeler, ice cream maker and others.

A701A, A901/E/P, KM200/300/400/560 series and Titanium KM001/003 [2] :376–385 In 2004 the redesigned KM001 series was introduced, different both mechanically and in appearance. Models in this series had an extra power outlet, which enabled them to use a wider range of over 20 attachments. The first Titanium series- KM001 was manufactured in UK then future models moved to Chinese manufacture. [6] If your Major model number begins with "A7" - eg A707 - your model was likely built in the 1950s and is not compatible with current attachments.

power outlets compatible with 20 optional attachments. Includes: slow speed outlet, high speed outlet and bowl outlet During the mid-1970s the A901 series replaced the A701. The shape was basically similar but with a slightly more streamlined appearance. The design of the machine was entirely new. The Chef was designed for multi-functionality and simplicity of use. Its planetary action (which ensured the beater or whisk reached the outer parts of the mixing bowl) and various motor outlets for attachments made it very versatile. Kenwood's 1976 attachments for the Chefs included mincers, slicers, coffee mill, sausage making attachment, shredders, bean slicer and pea huller, can opener, liquidiser, potato peeler, cream maker and juice extractor. [5] Offering great flexibility, the Premier has 3 power outlets, which include: a slow speed outlet suited to mincing, grating and pasta-rolling; a high speed outlet which is ideal for any blending, juicing or high speed slicing and shredding tasks; and a bowl attachment outlet which acts as a planetary hub to give unparalleled results even when mixing small quantities.We rated how easy it was to clean the stand mixer bowl and attachments by hand after each use. Energy consumption The list below will help you identify how old your machine is. Your model number can be found on the underside of the machine.

Splash guard A plastic lid with a hole or hinged flap in it that fixes over the top of the mixing bowl to stop splashing when you're adding and mixing ingredients. Your model number can be found on the base of your Kenwood Major mixer. Here are a few of the popular Major models, and the period they were sold: Most stand mixers come with a splash guard, so we assessed how easy this was to attach and pour ingredients through.

Beater We used this attachment to make a sponge cake. We also counted how many times we had to stop the stand mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl, which often got frustrating and messy. The best stand mixers had a beater attachment that reached around the whole bowl. The A701C, same design to A703C Made by Kenwood Argentina S.A. was the first Kenwood mixer fully electronic (non centrifugal) with improved motor. [4] A much smaller model (which does not resemble the Chef or Major at all), the Kenwood Chefette, has also been produced. The Chefette is basically a hand-mixer on a stand, and for the A340 version the bowl rotates by the action of the tools and food rotation. Later versions may have a power driven bowl. Liquidiser and coffee grinder attachments are available for it. [2] :218,278–289 Compatibility [ edit ]

We chose bestselling stand mixers sold at UK retailers and tested to see how well they mixed, whisked and kneaded. We bought all the stand mixers we tested. How well they mixed How old is my Chef? We are proud to be able to say that the Kenwood Chef and Major have been manufactured for over 60 years.Many attachments (e.g. coffee grinder, slicer and shredder, cream maker, grain mill, liquidiser, tin opener, potato peeler etc.) are available. [2] The stand mixers we tested varied in weight from 3kg up to 10kg, so we considered how easy it was to move the stand mixer.
