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.

KITCHENAID is well known for their range of colourful stand mixers, which are loved by home bakers everywhere.

CUISINART is well known for its food processors. After all, the brand launched with this kitchen gadget 50 years ago.
Those who love the brand will know that they also have a powerful stand mixer – the Cuisinart Precision SM50BU – and we tested it in a home kitchen to see if it’s as good as their food processors.
The Cuisinart Precision SM50BU 5.2l stand mixer is a big, powerful machine that’s designed to handle fairly large quantities of food.
