Why do you need a Food Processor?

Is a food processor worth buying?

If homemade hummus, fluffy pavlovas, perfectly chopped coleslaw, delicious granola bars, chimichurri sauces and the odd Victoria sponge are your thing… then yes! If you do a lot of meal prep or hate monotonous chopping, then a Food Processor could definitely become your new Sous-chef and best friend in the kitchen. Food processors can help take over the boring tasks, so that you have time to focus on the fun stuff.

Which food processor do chefs recommend?

Chefs from Jamie Oliver to Nigella, and everyone in between have a soft spot for Magimix! You’ll also find them in many training kitchens, cookery schools and professional kitchens (these will be Robot Coupe machines which is Magimix’s sister company). Look carefully next time you’re watching Masterchef or Cooking with the Stars and you’ll definitely spot a trusty Magimix or two.

Can I put something hot in a food processor?

As a general rule, you should never place piping hot food in a food processor. No matter what you chop or puree in a food processor, you’ll get better results if you periodically stop the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

How long does a food processor last?

If you invest in a good food processor brand like Magimix, then it will last you a lifetime. We hear from people who have had theirs for 25, 30 or even 40 years and they’re still going strong. Every Magimix machine comes with a 30-year motor warranty, so they’re definitely built better to last longer too. Food processors can help with a range of preparation techniques such as chopping, slicing, grating and pureeing and are designed to make cooking simple. From whipping egg whites to mixing cake batter, Magimix Food Processors can do it all.

What is the difference between a blender and a food processor?

Food processors and blenders do share some functions; however, they are not interchangeable. The primary functions of a blender are to blend liquids together like smoothies, to puree things like soup or to crush ice (if you are using a strong glass blender like a Magimix). The rule of thumb is that you’ll use a blender if you’re making something that you can drink, drizzle, or dip. Food Processors are able to help with many more tasks including pureeing, slicing, grating, shredding, dicing and more. If you’re looking for a Food Processor that does even more, then the COOK EXPERT is the one for you. It has a full Food Processor attachment as well as a metal bowl attachment for cooking. The possibilities are endless with this multifunctional marvel.

Can I put ice in a food processor?

Most Food Processors can handle a small amount of ice, but the cooking food processor by Magimix, the COOK EXPERT, can handle a much larger amount. Perfect for crushing ice for your cocktails, the COOK EXPERT has a large capacity metal bowl and a very strong professional grade motor with an incredible 30-year warranty.

Can you mix cakes in a food processor?

You can indeed. Magimix Food Processors are famous for their ‘all-in-one’ cake method and can mix up a batter in as little as 7 seconds. The key things to remember are to use room temperature butter and not to overmix. You’ll be channelling Mary Berry in no time!

What can a food processor do that a blender can’t?

Unlike blenders, which usually come with a single blade attachment, food processors can come with a wide assortment of blade attachments that can perform all kinds of tasks: shred, slice, grate, chop, mix and more. If you opt for a COOK EXPERT then you can add cooking to that list too.

Can a food processor be used as a juicer?

Some Magimix Food Processor models come with juicing attachments and are perfect for creating a delicious orange, apple or even banana juice. We also do a stand-alone juicer, if that’s what you prefer.

Can you use a food processor to puree?
