KitchenAid Food Processor

Creating meals and making dinner can be hard work sometimes. We watch all those cookery programs on telly, get inspired by those lovely looking dishes, get all enthusiastic and then find out we have the cutting and prep skills of a 5 year old with month-old playdough… A little dispiriting to say the least!

What impressed me most with this food processor is its versatility. To begin with, the feeder is nice and wide, allowing you to get all manner of foodstuffs in there without having to do much in the way of prep work just to get things to fit in. As well as that, it’s 3 sizes in one with the smallest size allowing you to add small liquid ingredients such as oil at a steady rate – perfect for salads or emulsifying sauces for example. As well as this, the kit comes with an external and adjustable slicing knob and disc, allowing you to easily modify thickness of slice, a dicing kit (complete with a dicing kit cleaning tool – absolutely invaluable, so glad they included this!) that lets you get a far more perfect dice than you or I will ever get with knives alone and a shredding disc that does medium or fine and is reversible.

Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a food processor without the ability to blend and the stainless steel blade does that as well as you would expect, able to handle nuts and other hard foods with ease. You also get a dough blade included so you can save on the hard work of manually kneading your dough and the three speed options of High, Low and Pulse mean you can set it for whatever you are using it for. Finally, there’s a lid for the 3.1 litre bowl and everything fits inside for ease of storage. RRP £319
