Congratulations on your new food processor! I used to have one by Hamilton Beach; I forget how the controls were.
To not have things turn to mush, you press the button just for like a few seconds and release. Check how your product is, and repeat for a few seconds until it's the way you want. For doing something like an onion, put like a quarter or a half of it in, not the whole thing. I mix my cheesecake ingredients in the food processor. I have one for apple sauce that came with my Hamilton Beach one which has turned out very nicely.

It also has a very nice knob for controlling it on the front with great tactile feedback. Until now, the fanciest appliance in my kitchen was the cheap Walmart blender. LOL! Does anyone have any tips/suggestions about using food processors? For instance, how to use the chopping blade but not turn the food in to mush? Are there special recipes just for food processors? Basically, I'm a total newbie, so any advice is appreciated. ~Ann _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
