Food Processing Adventures

I like to cook, but I'm not so crazy to clean up the mess, a dilemma shared kitchen imagine that many people face. Eventually I took the plunge this summer and bought my food processors. Well, I actually ended up buying two processors food markets. Yes, I know, bad planning.

When you start looking at different brands and models (and there are literally 100s), there is a tendency to start adding the features that you should have. And if you do this,the price increases and consequently also the size and cleaning. At first you avoid cleaning, since you are in a new world of cooking.

But over time, fade and the novelty and spirit of adventure, take the reality of the monster cleaning for a small job for a real one. Many recipes call for the products cut in cubes, slices, or whatever. The problem is, I cut my hand pretty quickly and there is little or no cleaning. When to pull a£ 15 device that you must hand wash pieces of 3-4, that is a challenge, it is much faster to cut by hand.

And no I do not use either for my kitchen appliances dishwashers. I never get my cast iron pots and pans in the dishwasher. Blame it on my grandmother, who talk to me on how to cook. Some items are not meant for a dishwasher due to the nature of the beast, end of story.

So I was in one of the most popular kitchen and home stores and saw a little 'mini-foodProcessor, 80%, the processor should do common tasks. It 'was only $ 30 (not as big bad boyfriend for $ 225) and what attracted me most is he broke it in two seconds and it seemed easy to clean. No need for elections, I know that mini mixers.

As it turns out a good decision for a couple of reasons. When I prepare a meal for many people, and doing things like bread or rolls out of nowhere, the big guy comes in handy in real time and the time is to clean.When I do a quick snack, my mini is great, since it can be cleaned quickly and easily.

Another thing I learned pretty quickly is the knife to any format mixers are sharp. Not only acute, I mean, if you look at it too long will be drastically cut. Great care must be used if no treatment is the cutting knife. Whether cleaning the contents into a bowl or wash, keep your eyes on the blade, never forget how fast you get it cut.

I leave my miniFood mixer on the counter for quick access. I use it almost every day for a few small chores. If a blender is too much, and I only a bit 'of vegetables, it is faster to cut the knife and chopping board. Each vegetable salad that I do now, crumbs of bread are always available, and chives are all over. grated cheese or sauces are ready to make fast and kicked up a notch in any vegetable dish.

Quickly create a mix of muesli is limitedelements at hand. You'll be surprised how much food processor is used to find your case it is off and ready to go. Fresh vegetables are more rarely used to go bad because there would be time to add in a dish of any kind.

If your own garden herbs and spices, you can spice up any meal with a fresh taste. The difference in the creation of spices fresh raw herbs and spices is amazing and adds a unique touch to every meal. And do not forgetsnazzy deserts, you can make the food processor with A. We bitter dark chocolate topping in the fridge for ice cream and other desserts.

So if you have a big monster food processor, it is rarely, you should consider a mini-model that can meet hand and is easy to clean. Keep the large piece of heavy meals, skills requiring heavy, but get little for everyday cooking.
