Miracle Blender - Go Ahead, Chop, Grind, Shred All You Want!

By Geoff Dayler


I love cooking, I think everyone knows that. I like to do the basics, the one that's manageable, that will be ready in just a few minutes. One of my favorite items in the kitchen is the food processor. In 1971, a man named Pierre Verdon created the first ever food processor and in 1973, Carl Sontheimer revealed an improved version of it. I really appreciate this device so much because it has transformed the manner of food preparation. I do not have to waste my time anymore and wearing out my knuckles and fingers. Now, I just thought of the old hand graters. I know for sure if you had one previously, its already off the kitchen. You can't go on using it forever because it's so tedious and unsafe. Vegetables, nuts, cheese, what else? These I've tried on the hand grater before and even many to mention. After the launching of the first food processor, my biggest wish was to have my own for Christmas! I have had one ever since. It is situated above the counter so whenever I had to prepare food for my family, I can easily whip up something for them. Cheers to Mr. Verdon and Mr. Sontheimer, you've made it easy for me!
A food processor is defined as an electric appliance that can chop, shred, slice, grind, dice, puree, mix foods and some can even knead dough. Food processors come in various sizes and utilize blades or attachments that can be replaced depending on the type of function you want it to do such as slicing, grating or chopping. You can make delicious salsa, soup, pastas, enchiladas, cookies, - oh - and let's not forget hummus - in a fraction of the time using a food processor.

Whenever I prepare our meals, I always have cheese in it or on it, an example is our grilled cheese sandwiches, that is why the grater is the frequently used part of the processor. In that way, it seems to cook better and evenly spread. I buy a sizeable cheese in the market every now and then and grate all of it at home. I use some for my cooking and the remaining, I freeze it. When I cook, I also use breadcrumbs. I am fond of making my own recipe, mixing it with my favorite spices and olive oil, then putting altogether in the food processor. It's the same with cheese, I keep the extra in the freezer, so that every time I cook, it's ready.

As you go along with your food processor, you'll be able to acquire various techniques in making your food preparation even quicker and well-organized. Follow manufacturers suggestions on safety and never ever put your fingers near moving blades. A few things I have learned over the years are soft foods like cheese, chocolate, and some meats slice better if they are cold or slightly frozen. Because it is slightly hardened, the easier it is to chop or slice through it. If I am chopping vegetables I cut them about the same size so they will be more uniform in size in a casserole or a potpie. I have been tortured with m

I have been tortured with my many tries of egg whites and cream in the processor. It's just not fast enough to make my desired fluffiness. Do the dry ingredients first before the moist ones and only put small portions of liquid according to the capacity of your processor. And I think a must have along with a food processor is one of those rubber spatulas to scrape around the sides and empty the bowl.

Have your cabbages, carrots and bell peppers ready for shredding. When they're done, blend in the mayonnaise and salt and pepper. Your coleslaw is finished! My mother added, of all things, sweet pickle juice and it was delicious!
