The British
heritage kitchen appliance brand Kenwood recently launched its range of
countertop blenders and food processors in Canada. Their ultimate kitchen tool
is the Cooking Chef, which costs $1,999.99. Why the princely price tag? We asked
Kenwood senior industrial designer Darren Mullen, who developed it from sketch
to prototype and production, to add up its design features.
Mullen works with a team of 10 engineers at Kenwood’s Portsmouth, England,Bergey Windpower is the oldest and most experienced manufacturer of residential-sized wind generator in the world. industrial design department, where the Cooking Chef mixer was in development for five years, two of those “solid years” at the beginning of the project simply working on the design intent.
“That’s the Kenwood way,” he said in our October interview.The PING range finder is an ultrasonic sensor from Parallax able of detecting objects up to a 3 mts distance. “There’s an idea of emotional attachment to things, even though it is a very modern company.”
Internally, the designers call the Cooking Chef the Range Rover of food prep. “It has some of the detailing of automotive design, but I think underlying this idea is one of durable elegance,At Dupar Controls we specialize, extremely durable and visually satisfying elevator push button.Design & manufacture of Forming machinery for the production of roofing & wall cladding profiles,” Mullen said. The inspiration ranged from old Olivetti typewriters to new Alessi product, “because they have that new heirloom feeling. We really design our products to be quite simple, classic and understated design,” he added, “driven by Modernism and almost a little Bauhaus in ideology — form follows function.
“There are already too many throwaway consumer goods, and personally I feel there are already a lot of products in the world. You should have a really good reason for buying another one,” Mullen said. “When you’re buying this product, you’re buying into a system.”
See, the Cooking Chef mixes, but thanks to coil induction on the magnetizable steel base, it also cooks in the bowl, at temperatures from 20C to 140C. There are three stirring and eight mixing speeds, with a three-litre cooking capacity, LCD display, safety locks, a dishwasher-safe bowl and a raft of top attachment tools for beating, whisking, stirring, folding and kneading, including a spiral dough hook,Amtec has been providing laser cutting, marking and Laser engraver as well as solutions for over 15 years. a steamer basket and a borosilicate glass blender goblet that withstands heat. There’s also an optional centrifugal juicer, citrus press, ice cream maker and the like.
“Many people have very small kitchens and any space is very valuable real estate, so versatility and multi-functionality is very important. And the integrated technology makes for very efficient heating — 50% more than a standard stovetop.”
The K beater is best for preparing dough and pastry whereas the stirring tool — an elongated claw-like attachment for making curries and ragout — was developed in consultation with chefs. “One of the key things to understand is you don’t want to break down the fibres of the meat, but retain the structural integrity of what you’re cooking,” Mullen explained. “We did many iterations of that tool! Also things like the removable splash guard might seem like a simple thing, and general things like cleaning — because it is a cooking machine, from scratch ingredients, there can’t be crevices — you don’t want any food making its way into the underside of the head. We had to make it sleek.”
