Kenwood kCook: an affordable alternative to the Thermomix?

For those that love healthy food (but understandably don’t want to spend thousands on a Thermomix!), the new Kenwood kCook makes cooking nutritious meals quick, easy and most importantly, affordable!

The kCook is an all-in-one multi-cooker, which includes a slow-cooker function, various temperature settings for simmering, reheating and boiling and three recipe pre-sets. Chopping, stirring and steaming are also sorted, literally doing all the work for you without even having to change the bowl.

While making healthy cooking easier and faster with the chopping, blending and stirring tools, the kCook stands out from the multi-purpose cooker market at $699, affordable for families and ideal for busy people.

To make life even easier, Kenwood has curated a series of step-by-step recipes designed specifically for the kCook. The recipes include a pea and parma ham risotto and white wine chicken casserole, all available through a free app which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The Kenwood kCook is available in all major electrical retailers and department stores. For more information visit their website.

Five appliances you (or more accurately, I) didn’t know existed

I live in a little bubble. It’s warm and cosy. There is a PlayStation in it, and a TV, and a laptop. I have a frying pan as well, a toaster and a kettle… I could go on, but you get the point. I have all the basics required to live a rather simple but entertaining life. Then an esteemed colleague of mine started this blog, Appliance Addict, and my mind was progressively blown as weird objects trying to pretend to be appliances landed in our apartment.

To be fair, they are actually appliances, they’re not just moonlighting. Which would be pretty odd – an inanimate object moonlighting as an electrical appliance. The news media would be all over that on a slow news day. It was more my appliance innocence, not realising that a) half of these tasks could be done at all, let alone with a specific appliance and b) anyone actually needed to do these tasks.
