The Dogmother Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 All I'd say is to get one with the biggest bowl you can. I bought a small Kenwood processor a couple or three years ago and while it's fine, the bowl is nowhere near big enough. I use my big old Kenwood Chef most of the time, but I need a bigger food processor TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggasperated Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm in need of a new food processor, got fed up fo having to super glue the old one together everytime I use it.What do you all use? Any recommendations please. Sage Same here, I use my old Kenwood occasionally but it's tatty and not really up to much. I'd love a Magimix but having bought a KitchenAid mixer a couple of years ago I'm not sure how much use it would get. Can you make breadcrumbs in the Magimix? That's one of the things I use my Kenwood for ( the liquidiser attachment), also pastry as it's not so good in the KitchenAid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I made some just last night. Mine is great as it has 3 different sized bowls,which all stack together,plus 2 sizes of blades. I just whizzed up a couple of slices of bread in the smallest bowl for a few seconds,to make some crumbs to mix with parmesan for my Chicken Parmagiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Magimix it is. Think I will wait till I cook Hubby his Valentines romantic meal before I tell him the price Thanks everyone Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Magimix are great, my lid has cracked after a good few years and I ordered a replacement ready for when the original snapped but it is still in one piece after about 2 years. I persuaded my Mum to have one, I helped her buy it in 1984 and it is still going my DD has it now. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Magimix!!!!! Although I have a Kenwood chef that I got as a wedding present 29 years ago and it is still working great. I use it for baking before the Magimix sometimes. I think I have similar one to Cinnamon with three bowls and lots of bits!. Just bought a Magimix Nespresso machine - love it too Sorry got excited at 901 posts finally!! IT does breadcrumbs too and because I cannot proof-read myself well - ever.

chick wiggle Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Agree agree agree! I was in your same predicament last year and eventually went for a magimix with some trepidation because of the price, but i have to admit it is fantastic. I leave mine out on the worktop and use it constantly. If you want to pop down and have look before you buy one...you know where i am! Good enough excuse for a cuppa if you ask me!

sage Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I’ve just been really naughty. I was looking at the Magimix 4200 on Amazon when I came over all faint, I must have blacked out for a few moments because when I came round I had bought a new mixer. At least when I put it in the kitchen it will take a while for Hubby to realize it’s there and by that time I’ll just shrug my shoulders and tell him I‘ve had it ages.

Valkyrie Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 @ Sage! We've been looking into one for ages. The Kenwood monster still doesn't have a big enough processor attachment so we stopped looking. Will check out Magimix although I can't remember if I've already done that.
