Selecting a Better Food Processor
October 23, 2007
Food processor is a device which can reduce your work in the kitchen. With its proper blade and attachments, you can slice, chop, grind, shred and puree the food.
When you go for a food processor shopping, look for it portability and functionality. Look for medium-size food processor for family recipes and smaller mini-processor for quick chopping.
If you buy a larger unit, it kneads bread dough and breaks up hard vegetables. Try for 400 watts of power food processor for personal use and 750 watts for professional use.
It is good to look out for a processor that is well constructed and fits securely with accessories like blades, cutting disks, and whisks. A good food processor allows adding food during operation. As food processor has number of other appliances, storage and portability must be considered.
Some of the food processor has retractable cords, dishwasher-safe bowls and accessories. If you have kids at home it is better to look for locking system to prevent accidental start-up.
When you shop for a food processor set a budget in mind so that you would spend accordingly. But the size and feature may affect the price. The unit can be operated with multiple speed levels, different function and operating speed. For more convenient usage select a food processor with piano type switches, style push button and speed selectors.
Juicers are available with the processor. The two types of juicers are centrifugal and citrus. Centrifugal juicer extracts juices from hard fruits like watermelons and vegetables while citrus takes out juice from citrus fruits. You can see various functions of food processor such as mashing, pureeing, wet, dry, chutney grinding, grating etc. The unit is attached with a coconut scrapper. Pulse facility in the unit is used to cut the food rather than mash it.
We often overload the jar with material than recommended. This spoils the motor and it burns out. So circuit breaker is provided for overload protection. If the machine has a locking system then it won’t start until the jar is correctly locked.
