See what MNers think of Kenwood’s new kCook and be in with a chance to win your own! NOW CLOSED

[MichelleMumsnet]

This is the feedback thread for the 20 Mumsnetters who tried the Kenwood kCook.

Here’s what the people at Kenwood say, “Whipping up a one-pot wonder for your family has never been easier thanks to the new kCook cooking food processor from Kenwood which not only chops and stirs, but also cooks delicious dishes at the touch of a few buttons. All this, plus a fantastic specially-developed recipe app to provide a little inspiration at every meal time, makes the kCook the new must-have kitchen essential.

The three bowl tools coupled with the app make the laborious tasks of thinking up a meal, preparing ingredients and endlessly stirring over a hot stove a thing of the past. Simply follow one of over 200 recipes available on the app, or adapt them to your taste using the kCook’s manual modes which allow the speeds and temperatures to be changed.”

Testers, we’d like you to answer the below questions:

Q1. How would you describe the kCook to friends or family who had never heard of it before? What was your overall impression of it?

Q2. How easy, or not, did you find to use the kCook? What time saving tips did you find when using the kCook?

Q3. What family meals did you create with the kCook? Did they go down well with your family? We’d love it if you could post some pictures of your dishes on this thread.

Q4. Did you use the Kenwood recipe app? If so, what did you think of it? Did you discover new recipes you hadn’t tried before?

Q5. If it came up in conversation, do you think you’d recommend the kCook to friends and family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Non-testers, what’s your favourite dish to make in a food processor? Everyone who adds their thoughts to this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win their own kCook.

Thanks
MNHQ

Non-tester.

I haven't used one of these before, but have an ordinary food processor without heat, and a soup maker, which is probably the nearest thing to it. In the soup maker I make all kinds of vegetable soup, carrot, celery mushroom etc, and they do taste so much nicer than tinned soup. If I had the Kenwood appliance, I would probably follow all the recipes in the app.

[VickyRsuperstar]

Non tester here. I don't have a food processor, but I use a small blender to chop up things for making home made soup. It's also good for doing baby food puree.

I love making different varieties of hummus in the food processor. It is so easy to make and much tastier that the shop bought stuff.

[kCookTester]

Hmm...this has gone very quiet with testers.

Do you think you will continue to use the kCook?


I am totally not decided..I have a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, a magimix and a vitamix and they are all well used. The pressure cooker and the vitamin are my favourite and I don't think the Kcook can do anything as well as they do.

I love the idea of the kCook but think it needs a lot of development so actually get there!

[kCookTester]

sorry ---- Vitamix not vitamin to not so

[embabes7]

Non tester - I utterly love soups! so anything that could make this even simpler is a real winner. Looks a great bit of kit.
