The Mighty Kenwood fails

This is about a KM070 a.k.a.Cooking Chef but it's probably similar for other models. The images and words are for grown ups. If you end up cut or electrocuted you're not really grown up enough.

If your Kenwood sounds like this

then the gearbox is up the chuff.

Take it apart and remove the drive assembly. The hard bit is how to remove the large drive belt sprocket.

Credit to me for how to lock the mincer

Jam a piece of steel between the screen and the blade, I used a short hexagon key
Don't worry, it bears on the trailing edge of the cutter

Everything looks ok here

so undo the nut in the middle of the planetary thing from underneath

Oops, chewed teeth

and silvery bits where there shouldn't be any

Inspect the mating gear, mine was fine

Clean this lot up and order the spares:

• gearbox lower cover assembly
• grease
• silicone sealant

Burnt butter icecream

Never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago.
There are many recipes around, this is what I did:

125	g	butter	масло
300	g	cream	крем
300	g	milk	молоко
6		egg yolks	яичные желтки
100	g	soft brown sugar	мягкий коричневый сахар
½	tsp	salt	соль
½	cap	vanilla	ваниль

Cook the butter until dark golden.

Make the egg custard.
Mix the lot together, blitz and churn.
