How to choose a food processor
He gave us a couple of tips on choosing a food processor Dmitry Kravtsov, shop assistant “BILUR”.
Keep in mind that some food processors are pretty hefty machines. Make sure you have space to store them in an accessible place. And if noise is an issue for you, ask for a demo at the store first – some models are significantly noisier than others.
The capacity of the bowl is the key to a successful purchase. The largest models have a bowl capacity of more than 4 liters, which is enough if you are busy cooking for a small family.
Versatile and efficient, a good food processor will become your indispensable assistant in the kitchen. It can be used to grind cheese, make biscuit dough, baby food puree, grind spices and more. But before heading to the store, consider these factors to make sure you’ve chosen the best food processor for your business.
Features
Most food processors only have one motor speed, and some have a small opening at the top, making it easy to add other ingredients. They usually come with a “pusher” that fits into this tube and helps you add larger items to the machine while keeping your fingers safe.
Make sure the machine you choose has a “pulse” button to give small pulses of power (suitable for coarse grinding or quick kneading of dough). You’ll appreciate a smooth touchpad for controls that’s easier to clean than raised buttons, and dishwasher-safe parts.
Power
Make sure the machine you choose is powerful enough to handle tough tasks like kneading tough dough, chopping raw carrots, or chopping hard cheese. For a full-sized processor (9 cups or more), look for a motor with at least 600W.
Size and capacity
Food processors come in all sizes, from tiny 3-cup choppers to 20-cup versions that can function in a restaurant kitchen. Which size is best for you depends on the number of people and the recipes you want to make. Whether you’re typically preparing meals for a family of four, or making dough for a single batch, an 11-cup processor is sufficient. If you frequently grind small amounts of herbs or nuts, or make small amounts of sauces, look for a processor that includes a small work bowl and blade, or invest in a separate 3-cup processor.
Accessories
Some food processors come with a range of accessories designed to get the most out of the machine. They can include work bowls and blades of various sizes, discs that cut and grate products of various thicknesses. Before you spend extra money on a car with all these “bells and whistles”, consider whether you will really use them.
