Jules. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Bought just over an hour ago on a " buy it now" It's from ebay, a 901 one. Comes with k beater, dough hook & whisk, liquidiser & can opener. It's a (very, very) early birthday present. Fingers crossed it works ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Congratulations! I have been looking on Ebay........ but then I decided that I've got this far without one.......... I may succumb yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well done! I love my old Kenwood. I don't use it as much as I could but it makes fabulously easy biscuit dough and egg whites don't take long to whip for meringues. Lovely machines .

bronze Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yay I love mine and keep trying to find excuses to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 I couldn't wait to tell you all Will I need to buy a splash guard? I have visions of my walls covered in cake mixture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I haven't got a splash guard but I use the base of a loose bottomed flan tin instead . My flan tin base has a hole in the centre which is perfectly sized for the beater to fit through and the diameter is the same as the Kenwood bowl. It's perfect. Mum who gave me the Kenwood in the first place used a circular plastic biscuit tin lid with a hole cut in the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 So I'll either have to buy one or improvise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Improvising is far more satisfying . Cake batter doesn't tend to escape but I have found that when I make cookies, the chocolate chips and rolled oats fly out. Obviously I can manage to clear up the chocolate chips quite well .

bronze Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I too have found that dry things fly out so tend to bung everything in so the wet ingredients keep it stuck. In the future I may think about getting a gurad but for now I'm just careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well done Jules! I drape a clean tea towel over it for the first few seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Mine is a 901. (I think!) I've never used any sort of splash guard with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I've put a post on freecycle for a splashguard- it's a long shot, but you never know. If I don't get one then I will build up my KC collection slowly over various birthdays/ Christmases! What do you all think of the potato peeler? I'm tempted to buy one.
