I like to prepare food in haste, uncomplicated and in a relaxing way. Well, everyone already knows that. The kitchen food processor is one of the appliances that I most often use. The founder of the tiny invention was Pierre Verdon back in 1971. Later in 1973, it was developed further by Carl Sontheimer and changed the way how meals were prepared, for that I am mostly thankful. It has saved many hours, scraped 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. My hand grater has been used on many kitchen ingredients already - cabbages, cheese, chocolate, coconuts, and others that I can't remember. When the food processor first came out, it was THE thing I wanted for Christmas! Since then, I owned one. It sits on top of the counter, ever ready to be used to prepare one of the many meals I fix for my family every day. Words are not enough to thank you Mr. Verdon and Mr. Sontheimer. I salute you both for this brilliant creation!

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 are available in different sizes. It has various attachments or blades you can swap and use, either for slicing, grating or chopping. You can even conjure your own salsa recipe, soup, pasta, enchiladas, cookies, and the delicious hummus in just minutes with the help of the 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. The cheese seems to melt nicely and evenly. At times, I purchase in advance large amount of cheese. After I get home, I grate it, use some on what I'm currently cooking and store the rest in the freezer. Often my dishes include an abundance of breadcrumbs - seasoned with my desired tangy flavor and olive oil and squashed completely in the food processor. What I do with the extra breadcrumbs is similar to what I do with the grated cheese, I chill some of it too. Now every time I need to use some, I'll simply take it out from the chiller.

In using your food processor, you will discover little tips that will make preparation even faster and more efficient. A manufacturer's guide is always included when you purchase this item so be sure to read it. There you will know the right usage, proper cleaning and maintenance. If your processor is still on with the blades revolving, in no way should you try to insert your hand inside it. The idea about soft foods, such as cheese, chocolate, and a few meat, they tend to get mushy and we don't want that, we just want it thinly sliced. My technique is freezing it first then putting it in the processor. I've learned that from my many years of trial and error. Because it is slightly hardened, the easier it is to chop or slice through it. If I'm making casserole or a potpie, the vegetables are consistently chopped so that they appear identical. 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. Ingredients that are desiccated should be processed first, then later followed by the slightly damp ingredients. Never put liquids the whole pack all at once inside the food processor instead put in gradually so that it won't spill out, depending on the volume it can accommodate. 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.

Put the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper in the food processor and shred it, then add mayonnaise and some salt and pepper to flavor and mix it again. Now, there's your instant coleslaw. You might want to add some sweet pickle juice in the mixture. I've tried it with my mom's recipe, it's luscious!
