The food processor is not just for chefs and those of us who throw big dinner parties. It is one of the best kitchen appliances available today. Another advantage is that you don't have to be cooking for many people to make it worthwhile.

Food processors help in completing delicate tasks, like kneading the perfect piecrust to the more heavy jobs like slicing carrots perfectly. Whether it is blending a yummy soup or mincing cloves of garlic, you will be surprised how much a processor has to offer.

The major choice you must make is probably in regard to your food processor's volume. They generally come in capacities ranging from less than 3 cups to more than 3 quarts. The largest ones are usually utilized by restaurant chefs. You need to figure out the amount of ingredients you will be using most frequently and the frequency with which the machine will be used before you actually make your selection.

Consider getting a model that includes a pulse switch. This is used for chopping things quickly and prevents over processing. It also allows you maximum control. Other attachments that come with the processor include a feeding tube that lets you push food into the machine while it's running. Using the tube with a slicing, shredding or grating disc keeps your hands safely away from the blade. Tubes come in different sizes and certain models have larger openings.

Next we'll discuss the discs or blades. Processors come equipped with a set of discs, the most common ones being the discs that slice and shred. The size of the shred or slice is measured in millimeters. Some processor include a juicer option. The heavy-duty models have a dough blade that you can use when you're baking fresh bread or making pie crusts.

Each processor has a transparent plastic bowl for mixing as well as a cover, a curved metal chopper, and a food press which forces the ingredients into the tube without endangering your hands. Some designs include a tube which is less narrow and which therefore permits you to put large vegetables like sweet potatoes in without cutting them up in advance.

Miniature choppers may seem identical to tiny processors, having a volume of no more than 16 to 24 ounces. However, you can only use them for working on minimal amounts of ingredients such as a handful of walnuts or a half of an apple. Usually blender processors are more successful at dealing with liquids while food processors are superb with solids. In a head to head comparison, you would have to recognize that you can accomplish many more things with the food processor.
