The food processor was originally build by Carl Sontheimer back in 1973, well over thirty years ago! Once the invention was published and produced it took the public many years to realize how handy and helpful this invention is. Once the public realized how useful this is it became very popular! Today, thirty five years later it still is a very popular item.
This is one of the best kitchen appliances you will ever find. It can do practically every kitchen function with virtually any food item you can come up with. If you purchase specific models and “additions”, you can do other things such as juicing, baking preparation, and plenty of other things.
Contemporary food processors come in three basic sizes: full, compact, and mini. No matter what size they are, the essential components are the same: a motor, a bowl with a lid and feed tube, and a set of attachments. Some models come with big and small bowls for use with the same base.
Common ingredients that include cheese and carrots are grated effortlessly and in no time by the shredding disc. Potatoes and apples are easily sliced using the slicing disc. All you need to do is use the nozzle to feed the food through the feed tube.
Chopping, grinding and pureeing involve a little additional technique. In a basic processor, the attachments fit over the shaft in the bowl. Standard attachments for a processor are an S-shaped blade and shredding plus slicing discs. The shredding and slicing discs are prepared of metal and sit at the top of the bowl, over the shaft. You push foodstuff down the feed tube and it contacts the disc, at which point it is grated or sliced into the bowl.
The shredding and slicing discs on your food processor can yield fine, medium, or coarse pieces of food. Each disc can be purchased separately if not already included with your appliance. You may want also buy additional attachments for your food processor, such as a blender processor which can be used to make your food processor more multipurpose.
You may be able to locate a container to place all of the attachments inside. It can be convenient to keep extra bowls at hand when you want to make several things in the food processor and do not want to take extra time to keep washing the bowl between items.
