Re: [CnD] New food processor owner

Hi Teresa and everyone,


The blades are very sharp, so just please be careful when handling them. 
But I already love my processor ... well, at least the reversible 
slicing/shredding blade. The chopper and I still need to learn to get along.



This is for everyone who uses their processor to mix things, and I feel 
like this is a totally stupid question, but do you use the chopping 
blade also to mix?



Between my new processor and my almost new hand mixer, I may actually 
start to cook now. Honestly nowadays I only do it when absolutely necessary.



Thanks for everyone's advice and encouragement.

~Ann

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.

Hi,


I just got an early Christmas present of a Hamilton Beach food processor, which 
has three settings, low, hi and Pulse. a chopping/mixing blade, and a 
reversible slicing/grating blade. 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.
