Usage of the Food Processor
October 29, 2007
Food processors reduce your work load in kitchen and save your time as well. You have to know about the features of the food processor to use the device in a better way. Then you can have the unit with you for several years in good condition.
The food processor comes with several blades for doing different types of functions such as chopping, cutting, and slicing, etc. So when you want to make something with your food processor then select the blade you wish to use and fix it in the appliance. Take the lid and bowl, fasten it onto the processor, and let the machine operate.
Trim unwanted parts from the food and add it into the machine’s feed tube. You can make soup, vegetables chunks’ potatoes, onions, carrots using S-shaped blade. You can grind nuts with the grinding blade. You can shred cheese using pulse setting and shredding blade. To make coleslaw use shredding disk rather than the slicing one, this will make the pieces very small.
Food processor has on, off and pulse setting. Some machine comes with high speed, so refer owner’s manual for the better usage. As the unit is extremely sharp, you must be careful while handling it.
When you start cooking, it is always better to slice the food material into small pieces, instead of putting as a whole. Remove the seed and core of fruits before chopping it. Do not apply hard pressure for soft food.
Don’t press the frozen food hard as they can damage the motor or blade. For more efficiency use feed tube to add ingredients and to avoid spillage use tall container. The bell shaped protector should always be below the level of the food being processed to avoid the spilling out.
Do not run you blender continuously as it affects the texture of food chopping. So slowly move the blender around and combine it with an up and down movement. Always try to avoid the usage of blender for tough dry or wet food items. If all these instruction are followed exactly then you can have your food processor with you for several years with the same quality.
