Kenwood AT512 Folding Tool Attachment, X-Large, Black

I have had this item on my wish list for a long time, dithering about whether to purchase. It is expensive and had I paid the full price I may not have rated 5 stars, on value for money. However I succeeded in obtaining one at reduced price because of damaged packaging. Have already used it three times in 2 days. It folds flour and egg white in perfectly. Far better than I would do when there is a bowl full of mixture. Didn’t take any air out at all and I have produced 2 wonderful Swiss rolls and a beautifully risen soufflé. If you do a lot of baking I would certainly recommend.

This utensil for the larger Kenwood stand mixers I think should really be included in the standard set. I find it invaluable for folding in flour after the beating stage, or folding in inclusions like dried fruit. I guess most people either do that stage by hand, or use the K-beater at low speeds, which will work, but is harsh. This blade is an incredibly clever shape and with the planetary motion folds things in to the creamed mixture very quickly and delicately, using a cutting and sweeping motion, similar to using a large metal spoon, which is what I'd use if doing it by hand. So it leaves the air in the creamed mixture where it's supposed to be. OK, you then end up with two utensils to clean, but this is the easiest to wash of the entire set, certainly no more difficult than the dough hook, few seconds and it's done.

good item

Super product as with all Kenwood tools, however a bit on the pricey side.

I got this as I really don't like folding things in. It's pretty good if, like me, you're not very good at it. However I do usually need to stop it halfway through & scrape the edges of the bowl down, then let it finish. I should imagine that folding in by hand would be better if you're really good at it.

Great tool to gently fold in mixture where you don’t want to knock out the air. Used on mousses and chocolate brownies.

Does the job

Excellent Proudct and good value, I was sceptical as I was not sure that it would be a genuine KENWOOD part, but it was. Perfect for folding in , when you do not want to beat all the air out of what you are making. Well packaged and arrived in good time.
