introduction
Thank you for buying this Kenwood Cooking Chef Kitchen Machine, we hope you will enjoy many years use.
Kenwood has nearly 60 years of experience and expertise in developing our Kitchen Machines and their wide
variety of attachments. Kenwood Chef Kitchen Machines are renowned for being more than just a food mixer.
In the development of Cooking Chef we have taken the well-known versatility of the Chef a step further by
introducing integrated Induction Cooking directly beneath the mixing bowl. You can now enjoy all of the benefits
of everyday 'cold bowl' planetary mixing when preparing your favourite cakes, pastries and dough, plus the
added advantage of heating and cooking directly in the bowl combined with planetary mixing. The opportunities
are endless.
The Kenwood Cooking Chef with its range of optional attachments truly is the complete food preparation system.
Strong, Reliable, Versatile, Kenwood.
What is Induction Cooking and how does it work?
Induction cooking is an advanced cooking method that employs the principles of electromagnetic induction.
When an electric current is passed through a copper coil in the induction cooking area it creates an electro-
magnetic field. When the Cooking Chef bowl is locked into position the circuit is completed by a special layer of
stainless steel in the bowl base. In turn this creates a large amount of thermal energy that passes through to the
contents of the bowl, thus heating the food.
Induction cooking is extremely energy efficient because it only produces heat in the base of the bowl. Other
heating methods such as gas hobs waste almost 50% of the heat energy around the sides of the pan. Indeed
the Induction cooking area on your Cooking Chef only feels hot during and immediately after cooking because of
the heat transferred back from the contents of the bowl. All of this means that Induction cooking is very efficient,
very safe and very clean.
The cooking functionality of your Kenwood Cooking Chef is similar to using a saucepan on your cooker hob. The
added advantage is that the Chef will automatically stir your food and regulate the cooking temperature to your
precise requirements, leaving you free to confidently perform other tasks in your kitchen.
The Cooking Chef uses induction heating technology which is extremely efficient. When compared to cooking on
a gas or electric hob, you may find that cooking times are reduced or that you need to cook on a lower
temperature.This should be considered when using your appliance for the first time or when experimenting with a
new recipe. Make sure that if you start cooking at a high temperature, you keep watching and reduce the heat
when necessary to stop food burning and sticking to the bowl, just as you would with your saucepan. Generally
the Cooking Chef will automatically heat the food to your desired temperature in the quickest possible time. It is
therefore not necessary to set the temperature higher than you require in order to reduce cooking times. At this
stage you should also pay attention to the frequency of the stir settings. When cooking at higher temperatures
you may find it necessary to stir constantly using stir setting
maintaining the consistency of your food during longer cooking periods on a low simmer.
