with the tabs on the inside of the jug.
FOOD PROCESSOR
A Food Processor allows you to chop, grate and slice, particularly in large quantities which
will save you masses of time. Vegetables, fruits and nuts are easy as pie. It is ideal if you
want to make a stuffing. It can also evenly chop meat much more efficiently.
Yes, it’s also good at slicing. You can deal with cucumbers, apples, cabbages, potatoes
and whatever needs to be sliced evenly and precisely.
Why not try a whole-egg mayonnaise, for example. It can then be made into chunky tartar
sauce, with capers, cornichons (baby gherkins) and parsley chopped in at the end.
With a little crème fraiche and some butter, a processor will make a lovely smooth, velvety
parsnip purée.
Grating large quantities –not just of breadcrumbs –can be hard work by hand. Make light
work of something really hard, such as fresh coconut, and if you need a large amount of
freshly grated Parmesan, it is all speedily and easily done.
Do not use the food processor to mash potatoes or to process hard spices such as
nutmeg.
BEFORE USE
All parts of the kitchen machine including the blender jug need to be thoroughly cleaned
before being used for the first time. (See the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section)
