The new Autograph Collection from Kenwood not only convinces with inner values, but also looks good. Kenwood says: “Gone are the days when cooking appliances had to be quickly stowed away in shops or storerooms before the visitor rang the doorbell. The new Autograph Collection is a pleasure to look at – and even more so to watch. Because it’s not just the exterior that impresses: Innovations that make work much easier for all cooking and baking enthusiasts are waiting under the chic bowl.”

The soft start function is particularly innovative and practical, whereby the speed increases gradually so that all the ingredients stay clean in the bowl. The SureGripTM handle also ensures safety when handling the device and the SureEjectTM function prevents the whisks from being removed accidentally.
