Make Cooking Enjoyable With a Food Processor
With the help of a processor, kitchen chores are no more tiresome. I prefer to use a KitchenAid seven cup food processor with a mini bowl for my needs. I bought this food processor after several friends recommended it for durability and ease of use. The time spent on cooking is much less using a processor in the kitchen. All processors have a work bowl fitted with blades. There is a feed tube and the food has to be pushed down it using a plastic pusher.
A good safety tip to follow when using a processor is to ensure that you open the work bowl only when the blades have completely stopped. The metal blade has to be removed or held in place suing a spatula while emptying the bowl.
While making dishes the recipes have to be adapted in such a way that the food processor can be fitted into our kitchen routines. The ingredients of cooking have to be sorted in such a way that the hard and solid ingredients are processed first and then the softer ones.
The texture of the ingredients also matters while using a processor in the kitchen. For example, while intending to use chopped or sliced ingredients in the recipe, the chopped ingredients have to be processed first and then the sliced or shredded ones.
To chop, slice or shred meat and cheese, the food stuff should be very cold or semi frozen. Any food item which cannot be easily cut with a knife should not be processed as it may damage the blades of the processor.
While making soups the liquid can be added through the small feed tube even while the motor is running. Most food processors come with different attachments for making cookies as the motor has to be run in short spurts until the dough becomes soft.

“when it comes right down to doing its job, this is the best food processor I’ve ever used.

But dont get too excited about the “gourmet french fry” cutter, unless you like your fries cut to one inch lengths”
