Food processor ProfiCook PC-KM 1197 — planetary mixer, 5 L stainless steel bowl, 1200 W, stainless steel & red

ProfiCook PC-KM 1197 is a versatile food processor and planetary mixer designed for home and semi-professional kitchen tasks. It features a 1200 W motor and a 5.0 L stainless steel bowl that accommodates dough batches up to approximately 2.5–3 kg. The unit provides eight speed settings plus a pulse function, soft start and load-dependent electronic speed control. A swivel multi-purpose arm with safety stop simplifies access to attachments; included accessories are die-cast aluminium kneading and stirring hooks and a stainless steel whisk. A transparent splash guard with a refill opening and suction feet ensure cleaner operation and stable placement on work surfaces.

Advantages

The high-power 1200 W motor delivers sustained torque for kneading dense dough and mixing larger quantities, while the planetary mixing action ensures even processing across the bowl. The stainless steel 5 L bowl is durable and hygienic, suitable for frequent use. Electronic speed regulation with soft start reduces splatter and gives precise control over mixing stages. The swivel arm and safety stop provide safe, ergonomic access to the bowl and attachments, and the transparent splash guard allows ingredient additions without interrupting operation.

How to use

Place the appliance on a stable, dry surface and secure it using the suction feet. Fit the desired attachment—kneading hook for doughs, stirring hook for heavier mixtures, or whisk for whipping—and lower the swivel arm until it locks with the safety stop. Add ingredients to the stainless steel bowl and start at a low speed to avoid splatter; use soft start and gradually increase to the required speed. Use the pulse function for short bursts of power when incorporating dry ingredients or for quick texture adjustments. Always switch off and unplug the unit before changing attachments or cleaning.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results when kneading dough, use the die-cast aluminium kneading hook and mix on a low to medium speed until the dough forms and then increase briefly if additional gluten development is needed. Avoid overfilling the 5 L bowl beyond recommended batch sizes (about 2.5–3 kg dough) to maintain motor efficiency and even mixing. Clean the bowl and attachments after each use and ensure the splash guard is free of residue before storage.
