Food Processor - What you really use it for?

I make loads of home-made coleslaw - cabbage, apple and onion, or I leave out the onion and use carrot. Very useful as supermarket stuff is gloopy.

I also make soup with it, and gratins.

Delia's braised red cabbage was much easier with automatic shredding.

It has even been known to work on lumpy gravy!

Mine goes in the dishwasher, too. A genuinely useful tool.

I recently bought one half price from Sainsburys. So far we have used it a number of times for Delia's Hollandaise sauce (beautiful eggs benedict but not very MSE due to the amount of butter), grating cheese, dauphinoise potatoes and grating veg for coleslaw etc. Planning on trying it for cakes etc soon.

I use mine for basically everything.

I don't think it takes much more washing either and it preps food ridiculously quickly. Coleslaw and grated salads are ready in seconds. I can make a mushroom tart in minutes - pastry is made in one bowl, mushrooms chopped in another and then the cream mixed in the same bowl - no more washing up than a couple of bowls, a whisk and a knife. But done in no time.

Like suki says, the only limit is your imagination.

Plus mine is red, which is awesome

Very little indeed gets made in mine at the moment - which I'm very ashamed of ........... .

Currently, I've no space at all for it on my worktops - but I'm working on getting a smaller (ie less tall) f/f which will enable me to have another wall cupboard fitted. Hopefully, this will then result in more space on worktops - then my Moulinex FP can come out to play :rotfl:.

It's been over a year since I last saw it - couldn't even tell you which model it is .
