  • Gets so much use

    Ever since getting our stand mixer we use it all the time. We most recently made a cake with it and absolutely love how easy it is to use. Even my four year old is able to operate it. The stand mixer is also super easy to take apart and put back together. It’s also very easy to clean and to store.

  • Definitely a kitchen must have

    The last three and a half weeks I haven’t been able to do anything special with Lexi so today being a rainy day and Lexi absolutely needing and deserving some extra love we baked some brownies. I love how easy our Kenwood Baker is to use and it’s a great way to show Lexi how to use the scales when they’re built into the mixer. We just did a simple mix today but Lexi loved adding some extra smarties to them and we couldn’t wait to try one. ????

  • Making delicious focaccia, so easy & quick!

    Honestly, I never thought that I can be good at baking. Probably the reason why my attempts were not always successful before was not following the recipe. The built in scales make such a big difference for me, it is just too easy not to follow the recipe. Check out below the focaccia I made today. It turned out so delicious!

    Ingredients:

    * 500g white organic flour , plus extra for dusting

    * 7g dried fast action yeast

    * 2 tsp fine sea salt

    * 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , plus extra for the tin and to serve

    * 350-400ml likewarm water

    * 1 tsp flaky sea salt

    * 3-4 spoons dry rosemary if you don’t have fresh

    * 3-4 spoons dry thyme

    * 8 cheery tomatoes cut in half

    Method:

    Add all in the bowl starting with the flour, yeast, like warm water, olive oil, salt, dry thyme and rosemary. Use Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL with 5l bowl and Steel Dough Hook to mix all the ingredients. Use a spatula if any flour is left around the bowl. No hands needed, the Chef Baker does it all!

    Spray the baking tray with olive oil and spread the dough evenly. Added the cherry tomatoes and left in the oven for an hour to raise. Bake on 220 degrees Celsius for 35min. 25 min in, brush two spoons of extra virgin olive oil, water and salt. When ready leave the cool dough and it is ready to eat!

    The recipe was inspired by https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/focaccia/amp and tweaked to my taste. Enjoy!

  • Love the features and attachments

    I’ve been using my kenwood titanium chef Baker for a few weeks now. I have used different attachments and I am loving the kbeater works so well especially for cakes and butter cream. The highlight features and attachments are the inbuilt scales it’s an absolutely stand out feature so easy to use and so convenient. The splash guard is amazing no more splashes in my kitchen and love there’s a lid to add more ingredients while mixing. I’ve had so many compliments on how nice the stand mixer looks in my kitchen. I definitely recommend kenwood titanium chef Baker XL to everyone that is looking for buy or upgrade. Can’t wait to bake more with my mixer.

I can measure everything on my @kenwood_au Titanium Chef Baker XL stand mixer. That’s a stand out feature. The dial to adjust the speed is so smooth & the attachments are so easy place & remove. I am so impressed & would highly recommend it.

  • First impressions - amazing!

    I’m so excited to be part of the team reviewing the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL!

    My first impressions on receiving the box was the weight - it’s sturdy and deserves a spot on your bench!

    I love that it comes with two bowls - the smaller one sits inside the larger one so it’s easy to store. It also means there’s less need for washing up in the middle of a bake!

    There’s quite a few different attachments that come with it for different types of mixing, a spatula and splash guard. What I’m excited about is the built in scales - another time saver!

    I can’t wait to start baking!

  • Perfect for ANZAC Biscuits

    It arrived at the perfect time. I allowed my 4 year old to use it before anyone else and she loved she could make ANZAC Biscuits. Absolutely love how easy it is to use and the parts are really easy to clean too. It’s fantastic how you can select exactly what you want to help make baking a breeze. I love the added splash guard prevents things coming out of the bowl. I think the mixer definitely just helped us to make our best ever ANZAC Biscuits. The whole family gave them the tick of approval.

  • A must have for home bakers!

    It’s been a pleasure trying out the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. It comes with so many attachments (like the K Beater, second bowl and more!) that you have everything you need to really up your baking game.

    I love the built in scales - makes measuring faster - and the second bowl is so convenient to keep creating without having to stop and do some washing up.

    I did find the splash guard a little tricky to attach but otherwise everything else was very intuitive to use. And for all the style lovers, you can switch out the top cover to match your decor!

    Definitive recommend this if you’re looking to upgrade from a hand mixer.

  • Thumbs up from me!

    It has been an absolute pleasure reviewing Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL. Such an amazing appliance. I have tried all attachments, apart from the guard, as I just love to see how the magic is created. All attachments have been so handy for me.

    The built in scales is probably one of the next features for me, as well as how powerful the Chef Baker is. Weighing the ingredients straight in the bowl saves time, washing up and it is so easy!

    Love that you can buy additional 25 attachments and turn your Chef Baker into a pasta making machine or a blender! So clever!

    I really find baking a lot more enjoyable now , so definitely thumbs up from me :)

    The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL is an amazing small appliance to have. The multitude of attachments it comes with means that you can bake so many different things.

    It was easy to make dough for bread and cake mixes. I did find the splash guard a bit fiddly to fit on (could just be I was doing it wrong). The built in scales are very handy. I’ll definitely be baking a lot more now I have it!

  • A wonderful way to expand your baking repertoire

    It’s been great trialling the Kenwood Chef Baker XL. I’ve always been daunted at the thought of baking bread and trying to knead dough. Using the dough spiral tool makes kneading dough a breeze.

    I used the Milk Bread recipe in the Kenwood website and was so happy with how they turned out. It’s so handy having the different attachments and I love the built in scale and timer which shows how long the mixing has been going for.

  • Best way to make buttercream icing!

    I make a lot of icing, so I knew the Kenwood Chef Baker XL mixer would come in extremely handy.

    Many times I need to make several batches for icing cakes, so the inclusion of 2 bowls with this mixer saves me from washing dishes to reuse the same bowl each time.

    The creaming beater (pictured in the photo), is so effective. It reaches all areas of the bowl, even the very bottom! So there are no bits of unbeaten butter or other ingredients that the may be missed by the beaters. I was so impressed with this beater!! My icing turned out perfect, with a beautiful smooth consistency.

  • Easyweigh scales saves me time!

    I used the Kenwood Baker XL to make this delicious Ginger Bundt Cake. My favourite feature has to be the easyweigh inbuilt scales. It saves so much time, as well as cutting down on extra dishes!

    I added each ingredient to the bowl, and this clever machine weighed it for me at the same time! I would recommend this mixer based on this feature alone!

  • Great for cakes!

    Being a first time stand mixer user, I decided to start with baking a basic sponge cake using the Kenwood Chef Baker XL that I’m trialling.

    I used the recipe from the Kenwood website which resulted in a deliciously light and fluffy sponge that wasn’t too dry. Cake mixes use the K beater tool which is nice and solid.

    I love that you can weigh ingredients into the bowl with the built in scale and much less mess than a traditional hand mixer. The integrated timer was handy as well to know how long it has been mixing for.

    Loving the mixer so far and can’t wait to test it out some more!

    So excited to receive my Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL Stand Mixer. I absolutely love baking and I can’t wait to make some cupcakes for my boys.

Included were 7L Stainless Steel Bowl, 5L Stainless Steel Bowl, Stainless Steel K-Beater, Stainless Steel Dough Hook, Creaming Beater, Stainless Steel Whisk, Splash Guard & Spatula. So convenient having two bowls especially when I make cupcakes one for the batter and another for the buttercream.

I can’t get over how amazing it is to have such a necessity item inbuilt into the stand mixer and it’s so convenient. Having a variety of attachments I can make all sorts of desserts, bread, pizza and so much more. I love that includes a splash guard too, no more mess in my kitchen.

  • My first baking session with the Kenwood Baker XL

    Ok, I am sold on this machine based purely off the inbuilt scales!!!! I decided to use the Kenwood recipe for the ‘celebration cake’, but turn it into cupcakes for Mother’s Day.

    I measured out all the ingredients straight into the bowl using the inbuilt scales, an absolute game changer!!! ????????

    Then as soon as I turned the machine on, the scale screen changed to to a clock and it then kept track of how long the machine had been mixing. Another great feature!

    Making these cupcakes and the icing were a breeze, plus they were delicious! Not only do I recommend this mixer, but also the recipe! ❤️

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.

  • A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
