What to look for when choosing a kitchen machine?
Have you ever heard of a product like a chef's machine? As the name suggests, a chef's machine is a kitchen appliance. It is mainly used in some pastry fields in China and the West.
The main function of the chef's machine is to knead dough, beat eggs, stir, etc. Since the emergence of this equipment, people have said goodbye to the era of manual kneading.
In the past, kitchen machines used belts to drive gears, but today's kitchen machines look very high-end and beautiful.
I believe that many pastries now have this kind of equipment! So what brand of kitchen machine do you know? Next, the editor will introduce it to you! Which brand of kitchen machine is better: 1. KitchenAidKitchenAid? It is a brand owned by Whirlpool of the United States.
The brand is dedicated to small household appliances. All products have full metal bodies, low power, low noise, and high appearance.
Their machines are marked with models based on capacity, including 5Qt (Artisan), 6Qt (Pro600, Pro600HD), 7Qt (Proline7), 8Qt (commercial version), etc. Basically, the greater the capacity, the greater the power.
The two most commonly used ones are Artisan and Professional600.
The biggest difference between the two is that the Artisan is a head-up design, while the Pro600 is a lifting design.
The lift design is also exclusive to KitchenAid.
2. Bosch/Bosch Bosch is one of the largest industrial companies in Germany. Its cooking machines adhere to the rigorous and steady style of German manufacturing in terms of both shape and function.
Affordable price is the biggest feature of Bosch. When there are many accessories, the price is more advantageous than KitchenAid and Kenwood.
Bosch? chef machines mainly have 4 series, MUM4 series, MUM5 series, MUMXX series and MUMXL series.
Among them, the 4 series is an entry-level product with the lowest power (500W) and the plastic body is not very textured. We recommend the mid-range 5 series products (both with a power of 900W).
3. Kenwood/Kenwood is a British brand. Its characteristic is the high power of the kitchen machine, which is generally above 800W.
Its main series of chef machines include Kmix series, Prospero series, Multi one series, Chef & Major series (Major power is slightly larger than Chef), Cooking Chef series, etc. Basically, the power increases in sequence.
of.
As an entry-level model, Prospero also has a power of 900W. It also has a plastic body that is easily overloaded. However, compared with Bosch? MUM54A00, the price is not much different, but it can be equipped with accessories such as a vegetable cutter and a juice cup.
The first thing to look for when choosing a kitchen machine is that although the kitchen machine has comprehensive functions, its price is still much higher than that of juice machines, meat grinders, etc. Especially when equipped with a set of accessories, some of them are difficult to buy for less than 10,000 yuan.
Take it off, if you just want to squeeze juice or mince meat, and do less baking, it is better to choose a juicer or a special meat grinder.
In addition, the quality of mixing noodles and beating eggs mainly depends on experience. Buying a chef's machine does not mean that you will become a baking expert. It just helps you in terms of time and physical strength.
After deciding to buy a kitchen machine, you need to pay attention to the power, capacity, accessories and noise issues.
1. The working principle of the power chef machine is that the motor drives the gear to rotate and transmit the mixing force. It determines the machine's ability to drive the dough, the continuous beating time, the kneading effect, etc.
Generally speaking, the same brand with higher power will perform better in these aspects.
For example, KitchenAid, the larger the capacity and power, the more professional or commercial it is.
However, it is not suitable to compare different brands based on power.
2. Capacity The capacity of a chef's machine is generally expressed in L (litre) or Qt (quart). In the US system, 1Qt≈0.95L, and in the British system, 1Qt≈1.14L.
Taking KitchenAid in the UK as an example, 5Qt-6Qt is enough for general household use.
3. Accessories Most kitchen machine kits only come with a dough hook and mixing head. The higher the price, the more accessories it comes with.
Of course, you can also add additional accessories according to your needs.
4. The noise of a machine with greater noise power will be correspondingly louder, but it is basically within a tolerable range.
Some machines have a silent function.
The editor has almost introduced you to the brand recommendations and purchase methods of kitchen machines. If you need this kind of product and equipment, you may wish to take a look at these brands.
