Hints and Tips
What is a food processor?
A food processor is a device that aims to do most jobs you could want to do in a kitchen
•
when preparing food, both quicker and with less effort than it would be to do such jobs
by hand. The primary function of a food processor is chopping, and nearly all available
food processors have a shredding and slicing function of some sort.
What is a pulse function?
The pulse button is used when you need short bursts of power at the optimum speed.
•
This is controlled by the user which means you control how long the appliance is run for.
It is a useful way of avoiding over-processing. For example, it can be used to fold fruit into
a cake mixture at the end of processing.
What is the difference between a food processor and a breadmaker?
A breadmaker is primarily for mixing dough and cake mixtures. A food processor can do
•
these jobs but not with the efficiency of a breadmaker. If you are planning on making
cakes you should consider how often you will be doing this job. If it is going to be a
common occurrence then a breadmaker would be a better choice.
Why won’t my processor switch on?
Try checking that the interlock system is correctly in place. All processors need to have
•
the bowl and the lid on properly in order to start processing, this is a safety feature
so that the blades cannot be spinning while exposed. When interlocked properly the
markings on the bowl, lid and motor housing are aligned properly.
Can i process hot ingredients?
Liquids should be allowed to cool to room temperature before processing.
•
If i can mix dough with my knife blade why do i need a dough tool?
The dough blade is specially designed to knead dough and therefore is the perfect
•
attachment for the job, it will stretch the dough during kneading rather than cut through
it. The knife blade is suitable for the job. Just not as suitable as a dough blade.
Is my food processor dish washable?
Many food processors have dishwashable parts, however it is often a product specific
•
feature so for more information see the individual product pages. The motor housing of a
food processor is never dishwashable.
