general hints Stop mixing and scrape down the bowl with the spatula frequently.

Eggs at room temperature are best for whisking.

Before whisking egg whites, make sure there’s no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or bowl.

Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe says otherwise.

points for bread making

important Never exceed the maximum capacities stated - you’ll overload the machine.

If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately.

The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.

The Kenwood MAJOR KM040 and CHEF KM030 stand out in the world of kitchen appliances for their versatility, efficiency, and impressive range of features. Both models belong to Kenwood's esteemed line of stand mixers, designed to cater to both amateur cooks and professional chefs.

The MAJOR KM040 is a powerful kitchen machine that features a robust 1500-watt motor, allowing for efficient mixing, kneading, and blending of even the toughest ingredients. Its 6.7-liter stainless steel bowl offers ample capacity for large batches, making it perfect for families or event catering. The KM040 is equipped with a variety of attachments, including a dough hook, K-beater, and whisk, allowing users to tackle a wide range of culinary tasks, from bread and pastry making to whipping cream or egg whites.

Another highlight is the compatibility with various optional attachments, including food processors, pasta makers, and blenders, enabling the user to expand the machine's capabilities significantly.

Durability is a key characteristic of both the MAJOR and CHEF models, thanks to their high-quality construction and materials.
