How to choose a food processor?

Household appliances are in a hurry to help people, and over the years they do it faster and more efficiently. Automated machines are designed to save the time and labor costs of a modern person so that he can spend them on something more important.

For example, cooking: a necessary process that takes a lot of time and effort.If a person or family wants to eat interesting, tasty and varied food, then you have to work hard. Cleaning and cutting vegetables, grinding meat into minced meat, kneading dough, chopping food, mixing - these processes are laborious and require certain skills.

Fortunately, multifunctional devices that can perform most of the operations in cooking have been invented for a long time and are called food processors.

They differ in size, material and number of functions.

First of all, when buying a combine for the kitchen, pay attention to the set of options and capabilities that the model is capable of performing. Next - look at the dimensions of the unit: is there a place in your kitchen for it. A combine with great functionality usually has large dimensions. When you have decided on the feature set and dimensions, choose the material of the body and bowls. The better it is, the more expensive the model will be, but the more durable the bowls will be. And finally, be sure to select the required volumes of containers. Will you cook only for yourself once a week or will it be everyday cooking for a large family - the volume and capacity of the bowls depends on this.

What functions can a food processor have:

• cutting vegetables. Slices, cubes or straws;
• grater and shredder;
• mixer (blender). Mixing and whipping cocktails, batters, sauces, creams;
• meat grinder. Making minced meat;
• juicer. Getting juice from fruits and even vegetables;
• chopper. Grinding sugar into powder, grinding coffee beans, etc.;
• press. Makes puree from vegetables and fruits;
• making puree;
• kneading soft dough.

In terms of size, harvesters can be quite compact and collapsible, and then it will be easy to put them in a closet, taking them out only for the duration of work. And they can be quite dimensional, originally intended for a permanent presence on the kitchen table. This is a great option for those who constantly and cook a lot - then there is simply no point in removing the combine. So figure out in advance the possibilities of your kitchen and the frequency of use of the unit.

Materials of the bowl and containers:

• plastic. Cheap material, but breaks more often than counterparts from more expensive materials. A combine with plastic containers is suitable for those who have a very limited purchase budget;
• glass. Stronger than plastic but heavier. Models with glass containers will cost more than plastic ones;
• metal. The most durable and durable containers, which will certainly affect the price of such a model.
