Thermomix or Kenwood - which was after long searches for debate.
What I liked in Kenwood, was that it is so robust, easy to clean everything from stainless steel, the accessories are all dishwasher safe, what the work even more pleased, but even if you take what it is rapidly between flushed manually ruckzuck cleaned. Just awesome.
What I lacked in Thermomix, was that you could not for example for potato slices, can do so on and Thermomix AND Kenwood - is too expensive and also very bulky.
Thermomix: contra - very small bowl, only to puree, chop or cook suitable.
The Cooking Chef combines perfectly both - food processor - high and long lasting and it cooks. So why then Thermomix for the I around 1000, - Euro to lay?
I regularly use: Schnitzel Factory, Food Processor, various agitating elements, both dishes - be it for cooking or even for baking,
So you can cook wonderful and then touch a cake without having to brush size. Then off in the dishwasher, everything clean and jerk twitch again properly.
Va cooking accepts me just the boss where it says - a boil, stirring. Wonderful thing.
Even when I came not so clear at the beginning, as a beginner, I got a phone number where I was guided step by step over the phone. Could not be better. Super Customer Service !!
accessories fits perfectly in a kitchen drawer - everything is stowed compactly.
Within the year I got recipe cards sent - as a service. I liked that very well.
Of course there were not so many recipes, like maybe for the Thermomix at the beginning. One must not forget that Thermomix has long been on the market and Kenwood Cooking Chef has been redesigned and it is only normal that the recipes Step by Step arise. It is unprecedented equal all - not even when Thermomix. There, too, was developing!
Conclusion:
Kenwood Cooking Chef is indispensable in my kitchen and I can only advise anyone who is faced with the choice and very little space and has much love to combine looks - for the Cooking Chef, because then you can do anything. With Thermomix I would make too many concessions and why buy Thermomix when I have everything in cooking, also still the ingenious food processor.
Accessories are available, what the heart desires. Of course it's up to you what he At length itself. But great, I find that there are opportunities at all.
I started with the basic set and so I came along very well so far and very far. Today I decided that now the Passieraufsatz ago must be able to work even better.
So resounding YES for Kenwood - machine and service !!
