Am sure you'll be very pleased when you get those jobs done as they are all very time consuming.

Erm, I think I want them coleslaw size. Tho some of the machines have a "chipper"

You'd be best off with a real food processor then. As far as metal vs plastic goes - check to see if they have metal or plastic gearing. If the metal external has plastic internals, then it isn't worth the money.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Z, are you decluttering? Have you caught the bug? :T:T:T

I've been "decluttering" for the past fortnight or so. I've not been fantastically well, so progress is slow.

Evening KC...

just logged to see how things are in your corner of the world

A food processor is an amazing thing - bread dough, cake & muffin batter, coleslaw, latkes, fruit smooties, tomato sauce... and best of all homemade hummus!!!! - I miss mine something awful - it got left on the other side of the pond! - definately check out the reviews - even a cheap one can be good if it's well made!

Oooh KC, do you have an easy gluten/wheat/dairy free bread recipe you can post? or is the one on the back of the Dove's Farm packet good? MrA is intolerant of all kinds of things, and having tried lots of yummy GF commercial breads and cakes, I'd like to try and make some...

KC whenever I am thinking of buying an electrical item I go to the library and look at the Which magazines to find their reviews, and look for the best buy etc. HTH

Thats a good idea, thanks!

They are, they are - the buddleia, tho, is now strewn all over the grass. You know there's something really wrong with a tree when you pull at the trunk and it comes away from the ground in your hand _pale_ very sad. But there's a few florets of green left on the stump, so we'll see. Trouble is, there are also some rotten bits still left on the stump. Which will win?

Hi Karma,

not sure how close you are to an Argus - but they currently have a £5 voucher on a £50 spend deal with 8% cashback on quidco & a large selection of processors & mixers with varying price tags.

Ah! I knew it wasn't just the outside, of course, but I didn't have the words to check whats on the inside - thanks Z.

It always is - tonight I've decluttered a book, a set of freebie juggling balls, and a weird game I bought from the Moon Society when I was a member of the Mars Society - its probably based on orbital velocities, but its extremely naff :cool2:

Sorry to hear you're not too well, Z, whats up?

Don't you swear at me :rotfl:I'm thinking of

Isn't that mega expensive, Bob? Can I ask how much it was? I just did a quick google, and lakeland have a Chef for £500 :eek::eek::eek: I think I'd pass out if I even thought seriously about paying that for a processor, quality or no

I haven't cooked any yet, KK I couldn't do it without an appliance of one sort or another, I don't want to give my fingers the extra strain of that ... I have a lovely little book from DT, full of gluten free recipes specifically, but I haven't tried any yet (don't tell her )

your secret is safe with me shhhhhhhhh

You can, i bought it greatly reduced in a sale in Debenhams- was about 10 years ago and it was £110 then. I know, seems like a lot of money, but it has lots of attachments and i love it..they would have to prise it out of my dead hands i can tell you.
