Which kitchen machine?

I make 140g flour & +/-25g sourdough. Big enough for my needs (2 adults).

Minimum I would have for sourdough is 450g flour, 275g water, 100g starter and then of course salt which doesn't count for much.

But generally easier to just make a double batch and then I give one loaf away or take it with where I'm going and the other one stays at home.

My wife tells me her sister says she has one she got with a Chef Titanium a few years back and she's never used it - if it's compatible I may have got myself a grinder :)

Got myself a grinder, but it's for the old style connection. :crying:

I've heard there are adaptors, maybe something to look into.

R650 seems steep, but at least it will get you there.
 
My larger Kenwood food processor came with a SA plug pre-fitted so why did the smaller one come with this abomination?

Came from Amazon, so I guess it's possible. All of the in-store models Ive seen have had the same plug.

Grey market importing has become the norm in SA for many brands.
Those round two pin plugs are my least favorite plug. The number of adapters I've bought that just stop working because of the spring loaded shutter.... and then most of them are not earthed and I often see earthed round two pins plugs. Bleah.

Guess what…the 3-prong isn’t earthed either because most of these appliances aren’t earthed, so they aren’t magically gaining an earth with a plug swop.

They just put the SA plug on when they sell enough of a unit to justify the effort but these days it seems less and less of a reality.

It’s not a grey import, they just couldn’t be bothered with a tiny market that is SA running its own standard.

The adapters are often not earthed. Plenty appliances come with earth on a 2-pin (Type F/Schuko) - mostly destined for Euro markets, or are you saying you've never seen one? The most common I've seen are Laptop chargers. The Schuko earthed plug and socket is actually banned in SA, which is why earthed sockets are hard to find, though still available as travel adapters. Of course that doesn't stop grey importers from sending you goods with an earthed Schuko. A wireman should actually fail an installation that uses Schuko socket with an earth pin. Fortunately adapters and plugs are not part of the infrastructure.
