The Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL is a stand mixer for people who bake dough often and want the machine to help with more than kneading. Its 7 litre EasyWarm bowl can gently heat to prove dough, and a set of presets handles proving, melting and mixing at a touch. For pizza makers, that means mixing, kneading and the first rise can all happen in one bowl.

In its favour
- The 7 L EasyWarm bowl proves dough, and Kenwood states it saves a third of the time.
- Built-in EasyWeigh scales let you weigh flour and water straight into the bowl.
- A 1,400 W motor and a second 5 L bowl give room for big and small batches.
Good to know
- It is the most complex mixer here, with a touch screen and presets you may not need.
- The listing does not state how much dough it can knead in one go.
Our take
The EasyWarm bowl and presets
Kenwood describes the 7 L EasyWarm bowl as able to prove dough and melt ingredients, saving a third of the time. Six SimpleTouch presets cover tasks such as proving dough, melting chocolate and mixing a cake. A 2.4 inch BakeAssist touch screen guides you through settings.
For pizza, a warm, steady prove can help on cold days when dough is slow to rise in a British kitchen.
Power, bowls and scales
The listing gives 1,400 W, the highest rating among the Kenwood mixers on this site. A nesting DuoBowl system pairs the 7 L bowl with a 5 L stainless bowl, so you can make a big batch for a party or a smaller one for two.
EasyWeigh scales let you weigh flour, water and salt straight into the bowl, which keeps dough recipes accurate. A K-beater, dough hook and whisk come with it.
Practical points
Kenwood lists a 5 year motor warranty and a stated noise level of 45 decibels. The weight is 9.9 kg, so it is a mixer to leave out on the worktop rather than lift in and out of a cupboard. The listed dimensions look like a packaging error, so measure the space under your wall cupboards against Kenwood's own figures.
The listing does not give a maximum flour or dough weight per batch.
Patissier XL or Chef Baker XL
The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL shares the 7 L and 5 L bowls and built-in scales, with a 1,200 W motor and a spiral dough tool, but no warming bowl or presets. The Lakeland Deluxe 6.5 L offers an 1,800 W motor and timer in a simpler package. The Patissier XL is the one to choose for proving in the bowl.
Verdict
Buy the Patissier XL if you make dough weekly and want warming, presets and scales in one machine with a long motor warranty. If proving in the bowl does not matter to you, the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL gives the same bowls with a spiral dough tool. For a simpler large-bowl mixer, the Lakeland Deluxe 6.5 L is the alternative.
