Topchef 1100W Multifunctional Food Processor - Mixer, Crusher, Grinder, Citrus Juicer, Kneading Dough Blades with 3.2 L Bowl, 1.5 L Mixing Cup Black

Product Information

That’s because, not only is it a food processor, it includes two blenders – one for large quantities, the other a personal blender, similar to a Nutribullet, which you can easily transport smoothies, for example. If you’re a fan of dumplings, use the beater to fully mix your ingredients together, see our gyoza and pork momos recipes for inspiration.

It seems like food processors just keep on coming out with more attachments and smart options - some can even be used as a blender, and you can even give your stand mixer a break with a food processor to make dough or whip up cream or mayonnaise. There is nothing this product really couldn't do, with multiple blade attachments and that signature Vitamix base that gives you control of the speed very well. Food processors appliances that can speed up your food preparation by chopping, slicing, dicing, shredding and more.The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. With five functions on offer, we particularly enjoyed using the three variations of grating discs and whipping up some delicious dips that were completely smooth in texture after a quick blitz. Some food processors solve the problem by including bowls of several sizes, and some home cooks keep both a full-size food processor for bigger jobs as well as a mini food processor for just mincing garlic and other small-quantity aromatics. We cleaned it by hand after each test and like all food processors, the number of parts coupled with the sharp nature of most of the attachments means it’s tricky to clean and it’s safest tackled with the brush to avoid accidents.

Other perks included the large bowl that could handle multiple punnets of mushrooms and more than enough onion for any meal. It's got sturdy shredding, slicing and chopping disks that are held in place by a frame for no wobbling as you slice, and the insert into the feeding chute can also be used to measure liquids. This leads us to believe that it’s worth investing a little more if those tasks are your priorities.

Our favourite has to be the accurate built-in scales, which weighs directly into the jug – this saves so much time and the need for other equipment on a busy work surface. Simple to assemble and clean, this food processor is excellent for little jobs such as chopping vegetables or blitzing breadcrumbs. A brilliant piece of kit, this food processor includes six attachments so you can slice, dice, knead and more with no trouble at all.

The machine comes with a 9-cup bowl with a feed chute lid and pusher, quad chopping blade (as opposed to most chopping blades, which have only two knife edges), dough blade, reversible slicing and shredding disc, and 20-recipe guide. The 14-cup work bowl is large enough for family cooking and has an extra-large feed tube with large and small pushers, so you won’t need to cut ingredients to make them fit. Slightly bigger in size but still looking neat in the kitchen, this one does come with a detachable food processor and blender bowls, making it a 2-in-1 appliance. This also includes 2- and 4-millimeter slicing discs and 2- and 4-millimeter grating discs, a spatula for easy cleaning, a free recipe app, a storage case, and a citrus juicer. Having said that, if you’re only chopping small amounts of herbs, nuts and vegetables, a lower wattage – around 200 – is fine.A food processor is one of those kitchen appliances that, once you own one, you wonder how you ever lived without it. Generally, more powerful motors will speed up the task, although other factors, like blade sharpness, are important, too.

Due to its heavy base, this isn’t an appliance you’ll want to move in and out of a cupboard every time you need to use it. This means they’re ideal for bread, all kinds of cake from chocolate cakes to fairy cakes, as well as thicker mixes, like carrot cake and gluten-free cake recipes.

As for using a small food processor for large quantities, you'll have to work in batches and empty the bowl repeatedly, which can get annoying. Design-wise, the gadget sits landscape on the counter-top so has a relatively unobtrusive footprint for a stand mixer. The results were fine and even, although because you're limited on speed options we did find it harder to create chunky chopped veg. Capacity: 9 cups | Settings: Chop, puree, dough, disc, high, low, pulse | Power: 1,000 watts | Size: 7. It's compact (about the width of a large kettle), lightweight, easy to unpack and manoeuvre, and sports handy grooves at its base.
