Using attachments
In this guide we will be focussing on five of our hero stand mixer attachments- blender, food processor, compact chopper/mill, pasta roller and food mincer. Alongside their more obvious uses, you’ll see that all these attachments can be used to create a range of different- often quite unexpected- dishes. Basically, with your Kenwood stand mixer, nothing is off the menu.
Blender attachment
If you like to start your day with a 5-a-day packed smoothie, or regularly make batches of homemade soup, your stand mixer’s blender attachment will see a lot of use. The 1.6L jug is made from heat resistant glass, so whether your ingredients are piping hot or ice cold there’s no worry about cracking or shattering the glass, while the accompanying stir stick ensures even really thick mixtures are smooth and lump-free.
But if you only ever use your blender for smoothies and soups, you’re missing out. How about whizzing up some homemade almond milk, or even your own peanut butter (the bonus being, you can make it as smooth or crunchy as you like)? And then there’s milkshakes, cocktails, dressings, sauces, pancake mix- even no-churn ice cream.

Food processor attachment
With a knife blade and selection of discs to slice, grate and chop, the food processor attachment really expands what your mixer is capable of- and can help you whizz through food prep tasks in a fraction of the time. Ideal for when you need a quick and easy, fuss-free meal.
Fancy a stir fry for dinner? Cut carrots and courgettes into thin julienne strips in seconds using the thin plate, before swapping to the thick slicing plate to slice peppers and mushrooms.
Dips and sauces are also super simple to make, like this creamy hummus; just fit the knife blade, throw all the ingredients into the food processor bowl and blitz. You can also chop vegetables and herbs in seconds to form the base of pasta sauces, stews and curries.
If you’re planning a mass batch cooking session or feeding a crowd, the 1.2L capacity bowl is perfect for when you’re working with large quantities of ingredients.

Compact chopper/mill
Small in size it may be, but our compact chopper/mill attachment is all about helping you create big flavours to add that final flourish to your dishes.
Forget shop-bought and use it to create small quantities of your own stock cupboard staples, dips, sauces, garnishes and marinades, like chimichurri, harissa or avocado dressing. It’s also perfect for grinding down nuts, spices, herbs and coffee beans, making baby purees or mincing garlic cloves. It also comes with three handy glass jars to store your ready-to-use ingredients or favourite sauces.
Nudelwalze
Walze deinen gekühlten Teig direkt aus dem Kühlschrank zu perfekten Nudelplatten für eine leckere Lasagne (eine empfehlenswerte Abwandlung des Klassikers ist diese Version mit Hühnchenpesto) oder zum Ausschneiden für frische gefüllte Pasta.
Aber lass dich vom Namen dieses Aufsatzes nicht in die Irre führen – er kann weit mehr als nur leckere selbstgemachte Pasta walzen. Dank der zehn verschiedenen Stärkeeinstellungen lassen sich damit auch Mini-Pizzaböden, leckere mexikanische Tacos oder Chapatis zu deinem Lieblingscurry zubereiten.

Fleischwolf

Mit einem einfach anzubringenden Wurstfüller und Kebbe-Aufsatz und drei unterschiedlich großen Lochscheiben für verschiedene Texturen kannst du auch deine vegetarischen Lieblingsgerichte zubereiten, unter anderem Rote-Bete-Burger, Falafel, Knödel, frische Tomatensoße und Kebbe.
