Why buy a food processor? Investing in a food processor offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it saves time and effort by speeding up tasks like chopping onions, grating cheese, or slicing vegetables. It enables you to effortlessly prepare large quantities, making it perfect for batch cooking. It allows for precise and consistent results, for food that looks as good as it tastes. And makes it easier for you to experiment with a wide range of techniques and recipes. From preparing dips and sauces to making doughs and grinding nuts, a food processor becomes your reliable sous chef in the kitchen.
What can you do with a food processor? The versatility of a food processor knows no bounds. It can be used to chop vegetables, mince garlic and herbs, grind spices, puree soups, make smoothies, whip cream, knead dough for bread or pizza, grate cheese, create nut butters, and much more. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, a food processor opens a world of possibilities in the kitchen. The Kenwood range offers a wide variety with functionality to suit your needs, helping you find a food processor that's right for you. With a Kenwood Food Processor, you can weigh ingredients directly into the bowl, helping you save time and reduce mess. This feature is available across the range in models such as MultiPro XL Weigh+.
What is the difference between a stand mixer and a food processor? While both stand mixers and food processors are kitchen appliances, they serve different purposes. Stand mixers (also known as dough mixers) are primarily used for mixing, beating, and whipping tasks, making them ideal for baking. They feature a rotating mixing head that moves around the bowl to ensure even mixing. On the other hand, food processors are designed for various food processing tasks such as chopping, slicing, grating, and pureeing. You can make any recipe that takes your fancy with a food processor, from cakes to salads, making it the perfect everyday kitchen helper. They excel in tasks that require precision and versatility beyond mixing. To learn more, read our guide on the differences between stand mixers and food processors
