A food processor is a staple culinary appliance found in almost every kitchen. It not only expedites the cooking process but also renders refinement to the scrumptious recipe. Though most people who prepare meals at some point are aware of its working mechanism and multitasking functionality, not many pay as much attention to its proper usage and cleaning. Here are some helpful tips to make optimal utilization of your food processor. Let’s have a look.
1. Process Ingredients in Small Batches To avoid straining your food processor motor, add food or any ingredient that you need for cooking in small quantities and manageable sizes. Also, make sure to use the pusher ( in a gentle manner) to guide your food into the food tube.Don’t overdo the food in the working bowl. The working bowl should usually be half-filled or as recommended in manufacturer’s manual. 2. Clean Each Part Separately Your multi-tasking food processor requires an equally multi-faceted cleaning regime. Meaning you should clean your food processor part by part. Develop a habit of cleaning your food processor after every meal preparation, as it is sure to extend its life. Removing waste products Remove the work bowl and scrape out all the remaining food using the high pressure water sprayer on your sink. For demanding cleaning tasks, you can use the outdoor garden hose as it has the same effect as a high-powdered restaurant sprayer. Washing Once the remaining food is out of the work bowl, you can now wash it along with the lid in a dishwasher or hand wash it using hot soapy water. Handwashing protects them from the harmful effects of harsh dishwasher detergents. Blades Wash blades in hot soapy water and dry them with a clean dry cloth. Never ever wash blades in a dishwasher as they are likely to bend or become dulled. Also, handle them with care during the hand washing them as the are extremely sharp. Base Unit Never immerse the base unit in water and don’t even think of cleaning it with wet sponge, if you don’t want to damage the motor of your processor. To clean the base unit of your food processor, unplug the unit and only wipe it with a damp cloth. 3. Pay extra attention to the Spring In most food processors, the working bowl comprises a safety spring at the bottom to help in mounting the bowl on the base unit. When washing the working bowl, it is important to air-dry before reassembling the processor, or it will likely develop rust. 4. Avoid Processing Hard and Sticky Ingredients Avoid using hard food ingredients in the processor such as ice, coffee beans, and raw grains as they can potentially damage the blade. Also avoid sticky food ingredients such as dry fruits as they may clog the blade and put extra strain on the motor. Wrapping up Whether you boast the best food processor or plan to buy a new one online, using aforementioned tips will not only make your food processor work smoothly, but also extend its life.
