The day I first got my food processor, I ripped into the box in a frenzy. All of these pieces and parts were just getting in the way! But then something clicked: it’s not about what you see on top – It’s about how they work together to make your life easier. The blades chop vegetables for an easy soup base while lids are great at catching drips off saucepans during cooking so that nothing burns onto those expensive non-stick pans (which is also why many users prefer their smaller counterparts).
Using your food processor is not just a good way to chop ingredients, it also helps you create delicious recipes. Using the blades and attachments that come with your machine can help weed out any potential messes in advance by handling everything from chopping vegetables for soup or puréeing fruits into pie filling.
S-Shaped Blade:
A blade is a cutting tool with two or more sharpened edges that are set at an angle to the sides of its long, thin edge. S-shaped blades have been seen in many kitchen machines and for good reason!
The shape was designed so it could easily cut through food without losing control as other shapes might do. This type of blade has served as the standard since they work well on every kind of jobs such as pesto, nut butter, hummus, and even ice cream if you’ve got one handy! If your machine includes
Pulse function makes sure this setting will not only chop but also mix whatever ingredients you need before blending continuously until desired texture is achieved.
Shredding Disc:
The shredding disc sits atop the bowl and has a feed tube on top in which you can put food. The first thing that happens when it hits this is being shredded, before falling into your dish of choice below. You could use for carrots to make carrot cake or cabbage slaw!
Plastic Dough Blade:
While the sharp metal paddles of an s-shaped blade may seem more appropriate for cutting dough, the plastic blades are better suited to kneading it.
They have fewer curved paddles and can be made out of various materials including rubber or nylon with some added benefits like being dishwasher safe. With this kitchen tool, you’ll find making focaccia is easier as well as pasta dough which requires delicate handling so that there’s no chance your yummy dinner rolls will come apart on their way through boiling water!
Slicing Disk:
Slicing disks are a staple in the culinary world. They can be used to create thin slices of vegetables, like Brussels and potatoes for gratins or raw salads. I love using this disk because it’s easy to adjust thickness depending on how you want your dish prepared by simply tweaking with the feed tube opening!
Can I shred carrots in a food processor?
Of course! You can chop any vegetable in a food processor, or grind it into juice. But don’t even try to blend them up into baby food – I don’t think you’ll have much luck with that!
What does a food processor do that a blender does?
A food processor is a tool for chopping, mixing, and grinding your fruits, vegetables, and other foods. The blades serve an important function in this respect as they have the ability to produce a more even consistency and finer particles. The blender on the other hand is mainly used to puree large batches of liquids or pulpy fruit-based dishes like sorbet and milkshakes.
