Launching later this month, the collection consists of a blender ($399), a food processor ($599) and an immersion blender, otherwise known as a stick mixer ($199), that feature innovative technology and a sleek design. Almost half of all Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe use Electrolux appliances and while they’re not promising you’ll be able to make food that good, the new collection certainly brings professional capabilities to home chefs!

Special features of the Electrolux Masterpiece Collection Blender include the PowerTilt feature, which uses the force of gravity to move the contents around the jug, so they then fall back down directly onto the blades. The PowerTilt is made possible by the optimal combination of titanium-coated blades, a precisely tilted jug/bowl and a powerful surge motor. Together, they blend even the toughest ingredients into the smoothest texture that conventional blenders cannot beat. Yet my favourite feature has to be the ingenious noise dampening design, so that you can whip up delicious breakfast smoothies without waking the whole house!

Electrolux Masterpiece Collection Food Processor

Next in line is the Food Processor, which includes an adjustable slicing disc that features 28 settings from 0.15 to 0.75cm and an extra wide, dual-sized feeding chute. The titanium-coated stainless steel blades are guaranteed to stay sharper longer and offer increased durability and performance.

Finally, the Immersion Blender is the first to feature a stand, which can be used throughout the cooking process and saves dirtying the bench. The stand is also durable enough to be cleaned in the dishwasher, saving time and hassle. The extra long stainless steel mixing bar also means it can be used directly in pots and pans and the professional triple blade and open foot design features mean no splashing when mixing.

The Electrolux Masterpiece Collection offers superior professional level appliances for the home without any compromise on quality, with a five-year product warranty on all appliances and 25 years warranty on the motor of the Masterpiece Collection Food Processor.

Kambrook X Blade KSB100: The guy test

If there is one thing that keeps people, especially men, away from home cooking, it’s difficulty. There are plenty of simple meals to create, but many of them need a kitchen gadget or 2 to bring the difficulty down a notch or speed up the process. Take Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals for example. All great and simple meals, but most require a blender or a mixer or something like that.

No drama, but that requires actually buying the mixer/blender (hudnreds of dollars) and the time to sit down and figure out how to use the damn thing. Without wanting to cast gender stereotypes, this is particularly difficult for guys. The majority of us have little patience for kitchen gadgets at the best of times. That rule also goes for appliances but that’s another story.

It’s been a while since I have done anything more than a chop and pan fry in the kitchen, so using the new Kambrook X Blade KSB100 was going to be interesting. There is one strict rule I have when it comes to appliances: if I am going to use it regularly, it needs to be simple. I shouldn’t have to read the instruction. So I didn’t. Also, it shouldn’t slice my finger off, which is why I’m now extremely cautious around knives and baked bean cans with ring pulls.
