Kenwood Cooking Chef Major kitchen machine

The Kenwood Cooking Chef Major is a revolutionary kitchen appliance that combines the high-performance planetary mixing of the iconic Kenwood Chef with integrated induction heating technology. Originally developed and designed in the United Kingdom, the brand has a rich history dating back to 1947 when Kenneth Wood founded the Kenwood Manufacturing Company in Woking. The Cooking Chef model specifically was introduced around 2009, allowing users to stir and cook simultaneously in a single bowl.

While the brand maintains its design and engineering roots in Havant, Hampshire, UK, its manufacturing operations were largely moved to China starting in 1989. Since 2001, Kenwood Limited has been a key subsidiary of the Italian De'Longhi Group. This partnership has allowed the brand to expand globally while utilizing De'Longhi's extensive manufacturing infrastructure in Asia to produce its high-end kitchen machines, including the Major and XL series.
