What do I look for in a good stand mixer?

Make sure your food processor comes with a slicing blade, dicing blade and grating disc. Many will also have a whisk, dough hooks and emulsifying paddles for mayonnaise, and blender jugs to make soups and smoothies. Stand mixers typically come with a bowl, whisk, dough hook and beater.

Spending more doesn’t necessarily get you extra attachments, but your machine should last. Signs of quality include a stainless-mixer bowl or glass blender jug as opposed to plastic ones, metal casing, a powerful but quiet induction motor and a long guarantee.

The Great British Bake Off contestants, Lorraine Pascale, Nigella Lawson… everyone loves the Artisan.

A must-have piece of kit in any baker’s kitchen, it is admittedly rare to find the KitchenAid on sale. If it’s on promotion, our handy widgets will pull through the best prices.

What’s the difference between a stand mixer and a food processor?

Stand mixers are made for keen cooks, and not surprisingly, prioritise mixing. They’ll outperform most processors in this depratment, hands down, mainly because they have a wider range of speeds – use the lower ones for kneading bread and folding cake mixtures, and speed up when whipping meringues.

Food processors can mix things, too, but they also feature circular blades, graters and choppers for slicing, dicing and grinding, and some have juicer and blender jug attachments that make use of their powerful motors.

Hybrid stand mixers like Kenwood’s Chef machines, are a favourite of top chefs. They have multiple power outlets that can be used with optional attachments such as food processors, blenders and even ice cream makers, but they’ll tend to cost more.

Does the KitchenAid ever go on sale?

Luckily for all of us, they certainly do. On Amazon Prime Day, you could pick up a KitchenAid Stand Mixer, Aqua Sky for £349.99. Usually a budget-busting £579, it was hard to ignore that whopping 40% saving. And we anticipate we’ll see more brilliant discounts in the coming weeks.

Why are KitchenAid stand mixers so expensive?

KitchenAid’s first household egg beater has a history, believe it or not, dating back to 1919. It’s moved on considerably since then, but the retro look, tempting colours and sturdy design of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, make it an ever-popular choice.

But why are they so expensive? Well, KitchenAids have never been cheap. Even when the first mixers were launched in America in the 1920s, they would have set you back around $200. Which, with inflation, equates to around £2,000 in 2020. So the fact that you can pick up the most basic model, the Classic tilt-head mixer, for around £250, means you’ve made quite the saving.

KitchenAids are built like a classic car. There are little-to-no plastic parts – save for attachments like the included shield to keep flour from flying up in your face. Instead they are made from sturdy die-cast zinc and in a wide range of enamelled colours. The planetary motor runs at 10 different speeds. The mixing bowl is stainless steel as standard, but some models come with glass bowls. All of which contributes to the price.

You are also paying for convenience and adaptability. A wire whisk, dough hook and a flat beater are included, but you can upgrade even old machines with optional extras, such as a sausage maker, ice cream maker and a coffee grinder.

These days, an average interior just won’t cut it for home buyers – we want standout decor and unmissable design tips that make us long to show them off. That is where this new-to-the-market apartment comes in.

Set in Clapham’s historic Old Town, with its village-like atmosphere and elegant architecture, this flat in Brayburne Avenue is arranged over three floors, with a bijou roof terrace and a curvy spiral staircase that are sure to appeal.

Brayburne Avenue exterior

We think you’ll agree that this character property looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but go in and you’ll find a treasure trove of rooms.

The entrance from the ground floor leads up to the first-floor landing, where you’ll find the front reception room, kitchen and roof terrace – and that’s where we’re going to start our tour…

Living room

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

Lovers of bold colour schemes and blue living rooms ideas behold – this generous space is a beautiful combination of deep inky blues, mustard and teal colours.

Rich velvet on the sofas and dining chairs, along with gold metallic touches and a stunning injection of pattern all combine to create a really rich interior, with something to look at each way you turn. Built-in shelves in the alcove hold books and knick-knacks, while the fireplace is home to plants and candles, and the coffee table shows off various trinkets and treasures.

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

The room is also large enough to fit a dining table and we think it makes a great space to entertain. Note the well-stocked bar cart, and the long artwork that runs the length of the dining table, with a picture light above to highlight it.

Kitchen

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

Head into the kitchen and you’ll find that dark blue colourway continues in the kitchen ideas, with bold cabinetry set against white walls for a fresh look. We like the little herb shelves above the hob (great for keeping them to hand when cooking), and the traditional-look rug on the floor that keeps the space feeling cosy.

You can also just see out to the hallway, where the bottom half of the walls are painted in the same dark blue. A bench provides the perfect spot for sitting to put shoes on, while wall hooks keep bags and coats tidy.

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

On the other side of the kitchen you’ll find a small peninsular, which makes a more casual dining spot. It’s a great example of how small kitchen ideas can include a place to sit for breakfast.

We also like the neat hanging storage in the alcove – great for keeping kitchen essentials and plants and herbs.

Bedroom

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

Upstairs in the flat, you’ll find two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor, and a third double bedroom located in the loft.

We thought we’d show you this bedroom, which benefits from built-in wardrobes and the same cafe-style shutters as seen downstairs. A recessed central wall makes a great spot for a dressing area – in fact, this dressing table is actually a console, with the middle slatted sliding door section ideal for storing make-up and hair accessories.

Spare bedroom

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

One of the bedrooms is currently used as a home office and spare room, with a day bed and desk, which is just out of shot. We like the wall of mirrors, that huge boho-look rug and the oriental-inspired screen, but you might find your eyes drawn to the spiral staircase just seen from the doorway.

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

Here it is, set against a brick wall with smart black steps and a white balustrade. Would you like a spiral staircase in your home?

Roof terrace

Image credit: Marsh & Parsons

Out to the roof terrace, which is a bit of a treat for a London apartment. This secluded spot is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine of an evening, or even stepping out to enjoy your breakfast outside.

Brayburne Avenue is currently listed with Marsh & Parsons for £850,000.

The multicooker market is flooded with big names like Instant Pot and Ninja, so you may be wondering whether this lesser-known brand is worth a shot. However, with the best-selling Pressure King Pro under their belt, Drew & Cole are quickly building a name for themselves when it comes to electric pressure cookers and multicookers.

See: the best slow cookers

The Cleverchef Pro is a very affordable multicooker that comes in two sizes, I reviewed the 4.8 litre model which is ideal for four-person recipes but there’s also a 5.7 litre model which is better for larger households. It’s easy to use, doesn’t take up too much space, and offers the same functions as most other multicookers.

Ideal Home rated: 4 out of 5 stars

Reasons to buy:

•   Compact size
•   Pre-set programs make it easy to figure out cook times and settings
•   Non-stick inner pot
•   Plenty of recipes available on the app
•   Keep warm function
•   Great size for a 4-person household
•   Intuitive to use

Reasons to avoid:

•   Steaming results were unpredictable
•   Accessories have to be washed by hand

Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro Multicooker

•   Cooking functions: Pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté, sous vide, multicook

•   Included:  Stainless steel basket, stainless steel trivet, aluminium inner pot

Unboxing

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

The Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro comes in a surprisingly neat box, it’s easy to lift and remove it from the box. I was pleased to see very little plastic packaging, the majority is easily recyclable cardboard with just a few plastic bags.

The Cleverchef is a compact multicooker that doesn’t feel too big and cumbersome like some other brands. The charcoal exterior has an uncluttered control panel that consists of just one dial and a back button, giving it a neat and streamlined appearance and it’s certainly better looking than other multicookers I’ve reviewed.

The lid slots effortlessly into place and there’s a padlock symbol to indicate when it’s in the locked or unlocked position. While the lid isn’t hinged, it does have an integrated tab that slots into the back of the cooker, this holds the lid so you don’t have to put it on the counter if you don’t want to. On top, the pressure valve can easily be switched between the closed and release positions, but for safety it’s advisable to use tongs or wear an oven glove when venting steam.

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

When not in use, the basket and trivet can be stored inside, even the power cord can be disconnected and popped inside for easy storage. The instruction manual is thorough, but doesn’t include any recipes, for these you’ll have to download the app or head to the website.

Cooking in the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro

When you switch on the Cleverchef, the main menu first prompts you to choose a cooking style from the following: pressure cook, slow cook, multicook, steam, sauté, sous vide, DIY and keep warm. Once you’ve chosen a cooking style, it then lists pre-set cooking programs by food type. Each pre-set program has a default time and temperature, but these can easily be adjusted if necessary and you can also add a delay timer at this stage.

Image credit: Drew & Cole

All the pre-set programs are listed in the instruction manual, which details the default time and temperature as well as the available time or temperature range. So, if your particular food or recipe type isn’t listed, you can easily choose the program that most closely matches the time and temperature you think you need. I found the controls really intuitive to use.

While scrolling through the menus the display screen is illuminated blue, but when cooking or preheating, the display turns orange so you can see at a glance that it’s cooking, which is a nice feature.

Pressure cooking a curry in the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

I picked the chicken madras recipe from the Drew & Cole app for my first meal. It utilises the sauté setting first to fry off the spices and the chicken. This is really easy, and not only did it mean I didn’t need to dirty a separate frying pan, but it kept all the flavours in the cooking pot. After sauteing and adding the rest of the ingredients, it’s just a case of putting the lid on and selecting the pressure cook function, followed by the curry chicken program.

The curry took just 24 minutes including the heat up time. I allowed the pressure to slow release for 15 minutes and then released the rest manually, which just requires flicking the pressure release switch so the steam can escape. The result was a fiery curry with very tender chicken, a great result for what felt like minimal effort. My only complaint would be that it was a little too runny, I’d have preferred it thicker, but having said that, you can just switch the sauté function back on and let it reduce further if you’re not too hungry to wait.

Pressure cooking rice in the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro

To go with the chicken madras, I made Indian spiced basmati rice, which is another recipe from the app. I emptied the curry into a saucepan so it was easy to keep warm while the rice cooked. Then I added the rice, water and spices to the clean pot, locking the lid into position with the pressure valve closed and selecting the pressure cook function. The recipe uses brown basmati and I selected the brown rice pre-set program which takes just 20 minutes, although there was an additional six minutes to heat up. Unlike when you’re cooking on the hob you can walk away and not worry about it boiling over or boiling dry, so it’s super convenient.

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

At the end of cooking I flicked the pressure release valve to the vent position so that the steam pressure released fast, it’s good to have it near an extractor fan during this stage due to the large amount of steam released. The finished rice was stickier than I’d usually expect for basmati rice, but cooked through and a perfect addition to the curry.

Baking a cake in the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

While browsing the app for recipes I kept coming back to the Nutella brownie recipe and in the end, I couldn’t resist giving it a go. With just four ingredients, it’s a great recipe to make with kids. Once the ingredients are combined into a cake batter, the mixture gets tipped into the cooking pot. This recipe called for the Multicook function and then the ‘bake cake’ pre-set with the time adjusted to 30 minutes.

I was sceptical about the results, not to mention how I’d get the finished cake out of the pot, however at the end of cooking the cake tipped out of the pot with ease. It was more of a cake than a brownie, so if I made it again, I’d definitely reduce the cook time. That said, it had a pleasant texture and while it wouldn’t win any awards at the local village fete, for a quick no-fuss cake, it’s not a bad option.

Steaming broccoli in the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro

This seemingly simple task was actually the trickiest of all the things I made in the Cleverchef Pro. The instruction manual says to fill with water up to the halfway line on the pot, then steam the broccoli in the basket on top of the trivet, but I had to reduce the amount of water as the steaming basket was sitting in it. There’s a broccoli steam pre-set which takes six minutes, although the total cook time including the pre-heat was 13 minutes. After this, the broccoli was still very hard and in the end, I put it on a further three times to get the broccoli steamed to the correct texture.

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

I knew something wasn’t right so tried again, but this time I added just 1cm of water to the bottom of the pot. I still had to run the broccoli steam program twice to get perfectly cooked al dente broccoli, but the result was much better with less water in the pot. So I’d say if you’re planning to steam with the Cleverchef Pro, you’ll have to be prepared to experiment to get the results you’re looking for.

Cleaning

I was disappointed that there was no mention in the instruction manual about whether the parts are dishwasher safe or not. Nevertheless, nothing was tricky to clean by hand, the cooking pot has a non-stick coating, and nothing stuck to it during my tests, so it was easy to clean as was the trivet and basket.

There’s a bit of fiddly cleaning to do around the pressure release valve to make sure it’s free of debris, but this is the same for most electric pressure cookers. The lid can be submerged in water for easy cleaning and the base doesn’t get dirty but is easy to wipe over should you need to.

Should you buy the Drew & Cole Cleverchef Pro?

Image credit: Ideal Home/Helen McCue

While it’s not a brand that immediately springs to mind when you’re thinking about buying a multicooker, in use, I felt that the Cleverchef Pro cooked just as well as some of the other more premium models available and it certainly doesn’t feel like it’s missing any functionality. If you’re new to multi-cookers and electric pressure cookers, you’ll benefit from the pre-set programs that take the guesswork out of cooking lots of different foods. The pre-sets give you the confidence to use it more often by providing a starting cook time and temperature that you can adjust to suit your own preferences.

I enjoyed trying out recipes on the app and created some delicious meals using the various functions available and despite the difficulties I had when steaming broccoli, I think that given the affordable price tag, it’s a good choice.
