Does anyone have one of these and do they know if it will mince finely enough to produce e.g. pates..?

  • i should think they do ...

    although i havent tried pate, they are very strong ... mine always blends things into dust lol :)

    i think itll be fine, although do it slowly bit at a time , ive noticed mine doesnt work well when i put alot in

  • I've got one and although not tried to do pate, my veggies have ended up as puree if I'm not paying attention.

    But like Kitty says, do it in small batches so as not to overstress the motor.
  • Thanks. Really useful. Any other contributions?

    I've got one of these (great for curry pastes etc) and it's just a mini food processor, so I'd imagine that it'd easily process liver or cooked pate to a paste. It'll probably take you forever though as you can't really get a lot in it, and I'm not sure how long it'd last if you were using it regularly for big jobs.
  • I've used mine to make mackrel pate and hummus and it works fine for small amounts. I tend to use it if I just want a serving or two, if I want a load it goes in the big magimix.
    I was off to conquer the world but I got distracted by something sparkly :D
