The food processor is your own and ideal kitchen helper for all your chopping, grating and slicing needs. But did you know that there are a lot of accessories on the market that allow you to do much more with it? A chopping knife can be used not only to chop that onion, but also to mix pancake batter, for example. With an attachment you can make a delicious juice in no time. Today I’ll explain all of the food processor accessories to you!
Chopping and mixing
The chopping blade of your food processor is of course used for the coarse work. Chopping, mixing, slicing. This one is great for a large broccoli, for example. You can also use this attachment to mix thick batter. Ready-made pancake mix is no problem at all. Extra butter and sugar? That goes with ease, too!
Grating and cutting
When you have finer cutting and grating work to do, there is an accessory for this as well. So you can grate cucumbers, carrots and cheese however and whenever you want.
Beater
There is also a beater for your food processor. With this you can, for example, beat egg whites and cream. This way you can make your own delicious whipped cream or meringues. What exactly this attachment looks like may vary from brand to brand, but they all have the same function. Could you use some help beating egg whites or cream? No problem at all.
Chopping
Do you like fresh herbs with your food? Who doesn’t! Use the chopper attachment. You put your ingredients in a bowl and let the food processor pulse a few times and you immediately put a perfect slip on the table! If you want to grind nuts or shred an onion, this attachment is also great.
Blending
We normally distinguish between a blender and a food processor, but there is also a blender attachment. Do you like freshly pureed fruits and vegetables for your smoothies? Then you should use the blender attachment. If the jug is heat resistant then you can even use it to puree soup! For some food processors it’s just an attachment, with some you have an entire jug.
The juicer
Enjoying a nice glass of orange juice every morning? Then it’s best to use the juicer attachment. This is equipped with a pressing cone that automatically rotates when you push half an orange against it. There is no need to apply force.
Juice extractor attachment
You can turn your food processor into a juicer with this attachment. It allows you to make thin juices without pulp. The filling opening at the top can be used to squeeze the ingredients one by one.
