Proctor Silex Food Processor

Proctor Silex Food Processor

A food processor is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances because it can chop, slice, and grate a variety of ingredients, from meat to vegetables. The attachments provided by the Proctor Silex food processors make it even easier to create meals in your kitchen. Their many sizes let you pick the perfect model for your needs.

Proctor Silex has produced quite a few different models. The main difference between all of these are their capacity and included equipment.

• 1.5-cup chopper: This mini size fits easily on your kitchen counter, and it comes in both black and white versions. It is great for just chopping a few onions for dinner.
• 3-cup food chopper: This medium size model has a larger cup capacity, and it comes with a few extra parts for more versatility.
• 8-cup food chopper: A bowl that holds eight cups makes it easy to feed large crowds. Since it is the biggest size, this version comes with a more powerful motor, a sharp blade, and a disc for shredding, slicing, and grating.

Since Proctor Silex food processors are so user friendly, you can easily clean them in the dishwasher and get right back to chopping. The bowl, blade, and lid can easily be washed in your dishwasher, or you can wash them by hand if desired. The only part that you should not put in the washer is the base of the processor that contains the motor and other electrical parts.

WIth a good processor, you can cut back on prep time and make a variety of delicious foods.

• Chop food: A few presses of the pulse button will quickly chop fruits, vegetables, and nuts into even, bite sized pieces.
• Puree sauces: To smooth out any lumps in pasta sauces, cheese sauce, and other liquids, briefly blend it in the processor.
• Grate cheeses: With a grater attachment, you can save time and skip hand-grating your cheeses.
• Emulsify dips: Make homemade mayonnaise and salad dressings by slowly drizzling oil into the food chopper while you run it.
• Make breadcrumbs: Use the food chopper to turn bread or crackers into crumbs for baking and frying.
• Grind meat: You can create your own hamburger meat from chunks of meat with a food chopper as long as you chill the blade beforehand.
• Slice vegetables: A slicer attachment lets users safely and quickly turn vegetables into even slices.
