Plan a bake with this mixer

The Kenwood Smart-Touch KHC40 is a household planetary mixer with a 4.3 L handled stainless steel bowl, variable speed with pulse and six presets, including an automatic dough-sensing mode. Kenwood lists a 1000 W motor. The built-in scale displays 1 g increments and weighs in the bowl or on the head platform while the motor is stopped. The bread and pizza chart lists 320 g–1.6 kg of dough below 60% water-to-flour ratio, or 350 g–1.4 kg above 60%. The dough tool may run for at most 15 minutes, followed by unplugging and 15 minutes of cooling. In the automatic dough mode, the countdown starts after the dough forms a ball. The supplied dough hook, creaming beater and whisk serve different mixing tasks; attachment packages vary by suffix.

Pros

  • The built-in scale supports tare and weighing in 1 g increments.
  • The automatic dough programme switches from detection to a timed phase once the dough forms a ball.
  • The splashguard can rotate 90 degrees to either side for access to its filling chute.

Cons

  • The dough preset is not recommended for cake batters or biscuit dough.
  • Raising the mixer head does not stop the motor; switch the appliance off first.

How the calculator uses this mixer

  • Water temperature. Pandough uses the typical friction factor for its type, 12. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 16°C, against 25°C when mixing by hand.
  • Batch size check. Its maker publishes no dough capacity, so there is no batch limit to check.

Formulas this mixer handles

The largest single batch for each formula at its own hydration. The limit is the same one the calculator checks your batch against.
