I'd hire a personal chef before I spent almost a thousand dollars on a stand mixer—especially when more-than-serviceable models from KitchenAid can be had for a quarter of the price or less—but this Kenwood Major Titanium "kitchen machine" is a good-looking, if spartan bit of a cooking gear. I thought you might like to gaze upon it, but I certainly don't recommend buying it.It's also a good excuse to ask the question: What do you consider your top five kitchen gadgets? I'm in the process of retooling my kitchen, from stalwarts like a new cast iron skillet to a just-purchased juicer (I'm going to go hippie for a while) and it's got me thinking about what sort of machines are actually worth the price.
