Food
Processor
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
A food processor is a kitchen appliance used to facilitate
various repetitive tasks in the process of preparation of food. In
modern times, it is usually equipped with an electric motor, although
there are manual versions.
Typically, a food processor will have a vessel (called a bowl), with
a removable lid to contain ingredients during processing operations. The
lid has an integrated feeder tube to allow the introduction of
unprocessed food during operation. At a minimum, a removable rotating
blade that chops or purées (depending on the speed and duration of
processing selected) the food is fitted within the bowl. Often food
processors can accommodate other kinds of blades.
For example, bladed
discs for slicing, shredding, or grinding. Occasionally, food processors
can be fitted with other devices that allow it to overlap completely in
function with other kitchen appliances. For example, blender, whisk,
beater, dough hook, or juicer attachments (such as with the processor
pictured).
