Kenwood Cooking Chef XL KCL95.004SI stainless steel

The Kenwood company has taken the food processor to the next level, giving it the ability not only to prepare ingredients but also to cook them. This is all thanks to induction heating, which transforms what would seem to be an ordinary planetary mixer into a steamer, and the bowl into a pot, wok, sauté pan, and cauldron all at once. A wide temperature range from 20 to 180 degrees is available for various processes – from melting chocolate to preparing soup, caramel, or pilaf.

Ingredients can be heated directly in the bowl or you can use the included container with rubberized handles for steaming. A powerful 1500-watt motor with speed control is designed for maximum loads and intensive use. Kenwood Cooking Chef XL KCL95.004SI can be confidently called a smart processor, as it connects to the internet, is controlled via smartphone, and has a touchscreen display with clear symbols.

Select the desired recipe in the Kenwood World app, and the device will automatically set the speed, temperature, and duration of each step. In addition, 13 preset modes are available: dough proofing, chocolate melting, Swiss meringue, Italian meringue, popcorn, one-pot dishes, slow cooking, soup, steaming, compote, dough kneading, pie, egg white whisking. To ensure precise recipe adherence, the device offers a timer and two sets of scales – one on the body for weighing ingredients in the bowl and one on the lid to weigh products before adding them to the dish. Besides, the set includes a spacious 6.7-liter metal bowl with a splash guard lid and pastry attachments: a K-beater, whisk, dough hook, soft mix attachment, and stirring hook.
