Does anyone have a kitchenaid as well as a TMX....
« on: August 05, 2009, 03:03:52 pm »
The only reason I ask is because I already have a kitchenaid which I love :-*. More an out of interest question really as I don't plan on getting rid of her when I get my TMX.

 :o ;D Just realised that saying the K word might be the equivalent of using a swear word on a TMX forum  ;) :D :o

LMAO - I don't have a KitchenAid, I do have a Kenwood Chef that has never been out of the cupboard in over 12 months since i bought the TMX ;D

Hi Meagan
I have a KA that I bought before "seeing the light"  :D, but I will be keeping it too, as I figure that it will still be used for larger quantity mixes and such.  Also, when my DD grows up and leaves home (a while yet), she can take something with her cause she sure as heck ain't getting my TM!! ;D.  Besides that I love the look of it sitting on my bench & reminds me of my dear gran!  Here I go getting sentimental about kitchen appliances :-\

I have a KA - better not swear  ;) ;) ;).  Actually I have a Magimix (Robot Coupe) too.

Don't give them up - the KA is best for making meringue for pavlovas.  Also if you want to make Italian meringue it is superior.  I also have attachments for making sausages and for rolling and cutting pasta.  There is an attachment for slicing and dicing, but it is not as good as the Magimix.

Magimix doesn't do meringue very well, but slices, grates, has a citrus press for massive amounts of lemon/orange juice.

Think hard before giving them up.  I have had my Magimix for over 30 years - how could I abandon him???

Ha ha she won't want it!! She will want you to buy her a TMX. My boys have already told me that I will have to buy them one when they leave home as that is the best way they know how to cook  :o :o :o Even though I have taught them from very young and they can all cook a meal, that has apparently all gone out the window when TMX arrived and now I have to buy them all one.  :-)) :-)) :-)) Maybe I should buy them one now and tell them to leave home with it LMAO ;D ;D

I agree with Thermomixer and Trudy!  I got rid of everything except my Kitchenaid, which I use for beating lots of air into things - eg pavlova.

I have a Kenwood chef that rarely sees the light of day now. When I do meringues I use my trusty Sunbeam hand mixer. I would never part with that.

I (we) were given 'red' for our wedding so there is no way I would give the KA away - I love it and have the pasta and icecream attachments for it. Yes I agree it does do great meringue/pavlova mixing.
You have all made me feel much better about wanting a TMX whilst already having a KA  ;D Thanks LOL

I have a Kenwood and he sits on the bench too.. I figure I still need to teach my kids how to cook sans TMX at some stage....  :P

Oh and I have given my 14yo a choice for when he leaves home.. I'll go halves in a car or buy him a TMX..(actually might give him this one and buy myself a new one! ROFL!)  ;)

They might have a new model out by then so everyone wins LOL ;D :D and I agree about the TMX being a whole lot safer.
