THE Morphy Richards MixStar has reimagined what stand mixers should look like with a design that closely resembles a food processor.
But is it as powerful as traditional stand mixers? We put it to the test in a home kitchen to find out.
The Morphy Richards MixStar’s design is simple – a 650W machine forms the base with the 4l mixing bowl plus lid docking into place on top.

For quick, easy and healthy meals, it’s hard to beat steaming. Thanks to the gentle cooking process and the moist cooking environment, vegetables are able to retain more of their nutritional value, while meat and fish stay tender and juicy.
Traditionally, steamers have been inserts that go over a pan of boiling water, but there are now smart machines that can take care of all the timings for you so you can just set it and forget it. As they come in a huge range of sizes and price points, the type you get will depend on what you plan to cook and how often; the size of your kitchen; and, of course, your budget.
Smaller steam baskets are perfect for cooking vegetables for one or two people, for example. They’re cheaper, don’t take much room and can be used with your existing pans. But there are also bigger options for those who are more adventurous and want to experiment with different recipes or create entire meals.

One of the best things about KitchenAid’s stand mixers is that they come in a range of sizes – small (3.3l), medium (4.3l or 4.8l) and large (4.8l or 6.9l) – and colours to suit your kitchen.
