KitchenAid Classic 5K45SS food processor

The youngest of the KitchenAid range of food processors , it is perfect for those who prefer a mixer/kneader that is simpler than its older sisters, but with the same quality.

Very complete and versatile, it is a kneader, mixer and blender all in one ; the perfect kitchen helper and ideal for home bakers and confectioners.

What you can do with it

Its 275 watts of power are distributed across 10 speeds designed for all types of recipes, from the simplest to the most sophisticated :

• 1: Revolver slowly the ingredients: to bind, puree, mix, etc. To add flour and dry ingredients to mixtures, add liquids to dry ingredients, and to bind thick mixtures.
• 2-3: Mix slowly: Ideal for mashing potatoes or other vegetables, making candy, dispersing fat in flour, making thin, runny mixtures that splash easily, and for mixing and kneading yeast doughs.
• 4-5: Mixing and whipping: for semi-thick mixtures such as beating sugar and fat, and for adding sugar to egg whites to make meringues. Medium speed for cake mixtures.
• 6-7: Beat vigorously: make creams at medium-fast speed.
• 8-9: Beat or mix quickly: whipping cream, egg whites and meringues, Italian or cooked.
• 10: Mix very quickly: quickly mix small amounts of cream or egg whites.

Power

While similar products from other brands rely on high speed combined with relatively low force to achieve a specific power, KitchenAid products work at a lower speed, but with greater brute force , thus achieving lower electrical consumption with greater efficiency .

Why we like it

What can we say? KitchenAid mixers are a classic . Not only because Julia Child used them, but because their durability over time is a testament to their quality.

As versatile as all KitchenAid products and with the timeless design typical of this brand.
