The legendary Swedish food mixer is now available in the UK through Pure Cookshop.

The Ankarsum Assistent Original is a design icon; the kitchen machine was first produced in Sweden in 1940.

This food processor kneads and stirs, mixes and beats, grates, shreds, purées and blends, grinds coffee beans, crushes cereal flakes, rolls pasta, minces meat and stuffs sausages. It can also effortlessly handle up to five kilograms of dough. The mixer has a unique roller and scraper design that mimics the action of kneading by hand. For heavier doughs, a large dough hook can be used.

The basic package includes accessories to make cooking easier and provides invaluable help when baking everything from sponge cakes to sourdough loaves. The deluxe package and a wide range of accessories can be added optionally.
