Probably the twin side-by-side rotors 'Kamov Ka-27':

It actually has a pilot cabin 'eject' straight up capability. (The base
of each blade has exploding bolts.)

It's useful if you make soup and saves you the trouble of transferring to a
blender.

I make a lot of soup, and use a stickblender to thicken it (a tip I
got here on rfc). I used to do that in the FP but the advantage of the
stickblender is that I use it in the soup pan; takes seconds, easier to
judge the right degree of gloopiness and minimal washing up.

Probably the first electric device in my kitchen, was a Kenwood
electric hand mixer. It replaced the hand-powered one above. I was
about 23 when I treated myself to the electric one (and 73 when I had to
replace it).

In cookery classes at school, when we were taught to make meringues
we had to beat up the egg whites with a fork. It's faster than you
might think :-)

we have an ancient blender and then my newer stick blender.
i haven't used the ancient blender in at least 5yrs. stick
blender i use about a dozen times a year. i like my soups
with some texture to them so i rarely would blend them
anyways. mostly i use the stick blender for making hummus
and fake liver pate'.

That heavyweight style is really not all that old... the older ones

I never put my soups through a blender, I prefer the veggies to be
discernable... I add veggies in the order of how long they need to
cook. I don't have a stick blender, I'd have no use for it. I don't
like creamy soups. I use my 70 year old Osterizer infreqently, only
for smoothies. There are lots of new kitchen tools/appliances I'd
have no use for.

I use a stick blender when I make butternut squash soup. That is one
soup that I like pureed.

I guess that explains why I still use on of these hand-powered can
openers.

I use mine for split pea. Once thick I add frozen peas.

LOL You remind me of my younger brother. He absolutely hated peas when
he was a kid. I was never sympathetic because I just didn't understand
what there was about peas to have such a dislike for them. It would have
been another matter if it had been parsnips or turnips.

I hated peas when I was a kid but I like them now. Could be something
to do with overcooking. Now I just take them out of the freezer and
heat them through.

The best are fresh home grown peas, but a pain to harvest and shell...
and nowadays frozen peas are easier.
I even like canned peas as a snack. Lesueur baby peas.

You're certainly right. Most any mixer will work fine with most any task. The trick is to find one that will mix up bread dough without falling apart or burning out in the $200 to $300 range.

I have a old Kenwood "stand-mixer". Use it so seldom, jes bought a
electric "hand-mixer" (don't buy a Walmart Manstays (Chinese cheapo)
mixer). Haven't tried bread, yet.

Unless you can eat them while in the garden, frozen are superior, in
fact they are superior even then. I worked 2 summers for a Unilever
company that processed peas. They sent a guy out to the fields every
morning with a "tenderometer" to check when the peas were at their
optimum for picking. They were shelled at the farm and transported
quickly to the plant - the truck driver was timed and if delayed, the
whole batch was consigned for animal food.

I can get them freshly picked at local farms, but they are an expensive
treat that requires way too much work. A quart of fresh peas around here
costs $5-6. Then comes the work to shuck them all, and you end up with
enough peas for two people to each have a small serving. I once bought
shelled fresh peas at Costco. They were a lot cheaper than the farm
fresh, and no work at all to prepare, but they just didn't measure up to
fresh picked and shucked.

I don't believe... I grow lots of peas and peas don't go off so
fast... peas in the pod keep well for at least 2-3 weeks. Those at
market are maybe 3 weeks since harvest and are still excellent. Green
peas in their pods are not very perishable... green peas are very good
for drying in their pods and are still perfectly good.

You canbelieve what you like but a pea from a 5 day-old pod is a helluva
lot tougher than one picked at the peak of tenderness and snap-frozen.

Kenwood is a sound equipment company (you mean Kenmoore) and
"Manstays" is *Mainstays*, which is a Target brand (not Walmart).

Damn, you're getting old.

NO! A Kenwood is a revered British stand mixer that has been around for
many decades!!! It has nothing to do with the audio company.

Graham is correct here, Kenwood in 1947 started out with a toaster, and in 1950 intro'd their iconic "Chef" stand mixer...

https://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/abou...od/why-kenwood

"1947
Kenwood A100 - When Kenneth Wood first founded our company, he cleverly redesigned the electric toaster to allow the user to toast both sides without touching the bread. Three years later in 1950, he completely revolutionized post-war kitchens with the launch of the Kenwood Chef.

1950 - The Kenwood Chef launches at the Ideal Homes Exhibition the Chef stole the hearts of housewives for its life-changing, labour-saving abilities.. Harrods sold out in just a week..."


When Kenwood audio products were marketed in the UK, they were re - branded under the "Trio" label so as not to copyright infringe upon the UK Kenwood....

I owned a Kenwood mixer for years. In fact, my current stand mixer is
based on the Kenwood model and all my old Kenwood attachments- juicer,
grain mill, sausage thingee- all work with it. In fact, that is why I
bought the current one.

The Brit brand was sold off some years ago to DeLonghi in the US.
Death knell, as far as I was concerned. I have not followed to see
what's happened with the brand for many, many years.
