Kenwood FP7715 Food Processor

Description

The Kenwood FP7715, often referred to as a ‘Food Factory’ in Kenwood’s historical marketing, is a versatile and robust food processor from the brand’s popular MultiPro FP770 series. While it is an older model and largely discontinued by the manufacturer, it was well-regarded for its powerful motor and comprehensive range of attachments, making it a valuable kitchen assistant for various culinary tasks.

At its core, the FP7715 boasts a powerful 900-watt motor, designed to handle a wide array of ingredients, from mixing dough to finely chopping vegetables. This motor, coupled with a dual-drive system, allows for efficient operation of both the main processing bowl and the blender attachment, optimizing space and convenience in the kitchen.

The main processing bowl offers a generous 3.0-litre capacity for dry ingredients, with a practical 1.5-litre working capacity for liquids. This size is ideal for preparing meals for families or for batch cooking. Complementing the bowl is a 1.5-litre glass blender, perfect for smoothies, soups, and sauces, providing durability and resistance to scratches and odors.

One of the standout features of the Kenwood FP7715 is its extensive suite of attachments. Users can easily switch between functions such as chopping with the stainless steel knife blade, kneading dough with the specialized dough tool, or whipping creams and egg whites with the twin geared whisk. The included stainless steel discs offer capabilities for thick and thin slicing, coarse and fine shredding, and grating, significantly speeding up food preparation.

Further enhancing its versatility, the FP7715 often came equipped with a citrus press attachment, making it easy to extract juice from oranges, lemons, and limes. A multi-mill or grinder attachment was also frequently included, ideal for processing nuts, spices, and coffee beans to a fine consistency.

Designed for both performance and user safety, the appliance features variable speed settings along with a pulse function, giving precise control over processing tasks. A safety interlock system ensures the machine only operates when all components are correctly assembled, preventing accidents during use. The brushed metal finish of the base unit provides a stylish and durable exterior that complements modern kitchen aesthetics.

Given its age, the Kenwood FP7715 is no longer produced by the manufacturer and can typically only be found through second-hand markets or from retailers with old stock. Despite its discontinued status, its robust build quality and comprehensive functionality mean that well-maintained units continue to be sought after by those looking for a reliable and versatile food processor.
