This Kitchen Gadget is the Only Thing You Need for Effortless & Tasty Eats

We put Kenwood’s latest kitchen appliance to the test—here’s what we discovered.

Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender Review
Kenwood

This article has been produced in partnership with Kenwood, but all opinions are our own. After testing it out, we're excited to share our genuine thoughts on this versatile kitchen gadget.

When it comes to kitchen gadgets and appliances, I am somewhat of a minimalist. A cluttered countertop makes me feel chaotic when preparing dishes, and I’d rather showcase a sleek and clean kitchen than one that makes it seem as if I’ve used every pot, pan and machine at my disposal to create something delicious. 

But as someone who loves entertaining and experimenting with new recipes, my desire for a streamlined kitchen often clashes with the need for multiple tools. That’s why, when I heard about an appliance that promises to be easy to use, versatile, and low on clean-up, I was very excited to put it to the test.

Enter the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender. As its name suggests, it’s a two-in-one food processor and blender, but it is also so much more. With automatic presets that can prepare ingredients at the touch of a button, attachments that make serving a cinch and built-in scales for accurate measurements, it may just be the only appliance your kitchen needs. 

Having put it to the test, here’s why the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender is a must-have addition to any modern kitchen. 

Chef-Designed Features That Do the Hard Work For You

There’s no guesswork involved when it comes to using the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch. The machine comes with six presets—dough, puree and mix for the food processor attachment, and ice crush, blend and clean for the blender—so it’s easy to select the right program for the job and prepare ingredients with just one touch.

Want to mix up the perfect pancake mix? There’s a button for that. Ready to knead pizza dough that will have your guests coming back for more? There’s a button for that, too.

Creating the best breakfast smoothie or homemade mayonnaise has never been easier with presets that have been meticulously tested by the experts, meaning all the hard work of finding the right speed and setting has been done for you.

Another true delight for entertainers is the OneTouch™ Ice Crush, which creates snowy crushed ice without it melting into a slushy mess—game-changer! Big enough to make cocktails for four in a flash, summer entertaining is as easy as saying “Who wants a drink?”. I, for one, can’t wait to delight my guests with perfectly blended frosés and ice-cold margaritas all summer long.

Slice and Dice Directly to the Dish

A fan-favourite feature of the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender is the ExpressServe™ attachment—and I can see why. This might just be my new favourite thing.

Perfect for grating and slicing, the attachment allows whatever you’re chopping to feed directly onto your bowl or plate, reducing the need for excess implements and mess. This also means you’re not limited by the size of the main food processor bowl, making preparing food in bulk easier than ever.

Another handy feature is the EasyWeigh scales, which eliminates the need for separate kitchen scales (that always somehow seem to be out of battery whenever I need to use them). With a plastic tray for weighing included with the machine, you can also weigh directly into the bowl or blender. You can switch between pounds and kilograms (which means you can tailor it to any recipe), with the weight displayed on the small screen that then doubles as a timer when the machine is in use. 

No Mess, No Fuss

Cleaning up is often the least enjoyable part of cooking, but the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch makes it a breeze. Simply add a few drops of detergent to some water inside the blender, hit the clean function and it’s done. 

While the various attachments, bowls and blades can seem a little overwhelming, the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender has an answer for that, too. The tools are all dishwasher safe (yes, even the food processor bowls and lids) and the machine has a built-in clean preset function for the blender.

While storing all the parts can be a little tricky, I just used a bit of a "nesting doll" technique to make them all fit inside each other. And if you think of the appliances the Kenwood MultiPro OneTouch Food Processor and Blender can replace in your kitchen, the space the machine does take up pales in comparison. 

My verdict? I’m all for a multi-tasing appliance that makes preparing dishes as simple as possible, and with the entertaining season just around the corner, this has just become my new jack-of-all-trades kitchen sidekick.
