Until the kitchen machine as such became a versatile electric appliance, it underwent an exciting evolution. The Cooking Chef XL from Kenwood has been evolved and refined in its design to incorporate digital technology. This kitchen machine is equipped with a 4.3" touchscreen to provide full adjustment of the time, temperature and speed along with numerous presets. Thanks to the combination of a touch display and a manual control option via a dial, it follows an operation approach that is easy-to-understand and intuitive. A particular convenient aspect for uncomplicated food preparation is that, thanks to the integrated EasyWeigh scale, the device allows weighing ingredients at any time either directly in the bowl or in one of the accessories. Moreover, the weighing display rotates on the screen, making it easy for users to read it even when the head of the machine is tilted up. The spring-loaded mechanism for lifting the head promotes easy and comfortable handling. This kitchen machine innovatively combines sophisticated functionality with new possibilities for baking and induction cooking. With its clear and purist aesthetics, it projects a formal appearance that is aimed to persist. In addition, the Cooking Chef XL is also digitally connected and can be controlled via a mobile device using the Kenwood World App, which in turn provides access to numerous recipes.
