Food processor selection options

August 15, 2020

When we buy small appliances for the kitchen, we choose separately the devices we need for a specific task. For example, we need a mixer to bake delicious cakes or cookies, juicers to make natural juices, etc.

However, today it is already possible to own equipment that combines the features of each device into one, eliminating the need to purchase each piece of equipment separately.

Today's blog's main topic is choosing a food processor and its parameters , which you should definitely consider.

Power - this parameter determines how well your combine will cope with the tasks:

For cleaning and frying cooked products, 200-300 watts is enough;
In order to process fresh meat in a grinder, the device must be at least 600 watts;
For larger quantities of food, you should purchase a food processor with a capacity of 800-1000 watts. In addition, multifunctional devices should have a lot of power so that they can work freely on a variety of products.

We would also like to remind you to pay attention to the number of speeds, because each operation with a specific type of product requires its own mode of processing, mixing or grinding them. If you plan to use a food processor every day, and at the same time plan to prepare various dishes, then choose a model that will have at least 5-6 speeds.

Body material

When making a choice, I recommend choosing a steel combine, as plastic designs are a bit flimsy. Especially if you're buying a cheap model from a lesser-known manufacturer.

Bowls and container loading

The amount of food you can fit depends on how wide the full bowl of the food processor is. So the larger the family, the larger the capacity of the food processor should be.

Pay attention to the material of the cups

Today, kitchen appliance manufacturers offer the following options:
Plastic - such containers are quite durable, but over time, small scratches may appear on the bowl.
Metal - durable and hygienic, but does not allow for control over product processing.
Glass - The best choice for household appliances is glass containers, which are quite expensive and fragile . Keep in mind that if the glass bowl of your food processor breaks, it will be difficult to find a similar size (the only exceptions are models from modern brands that sell accessories for their devices separately).

Which kitchen appliance should we choose?

A 1.5-liter bowl with a power of 500 watts is enough for two people. A family of 3-4 people needs a larger food processor with meat cutting and blender functions. The power of the device should be at least 600-800 watts.

You can also find models of this type below on our blog, so we recommend that you browse the entire category, or for example, the category called Kenwood Combines and its kitchen range .

And those who constantly prepare food and their menu is quite extensive should purchase a universal model of a food processor. Since such equipment must do its job well, its power must also be high. Accordingly, choose a food processor with a power of at least 1 kW.
