KitchenAid KFP750 – Best Food Processor

This KitchenAid KFP750 12-Cup Food Processor has a powerful yet very quiet motor and very well built design overall. This is definitely the best food processor you can get. Well, I understand why this food processor has received 5 stars rating in consumer report and cook illustrated – personally, I think this is among the best food processors I have tested so far.

KitchenAid KFP750WH 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor

Great Motor And Large Bowl
It has a very powerful and quiet motor. A 12 cup work bowl is about the largest you can get in this class of food processors. With 700 W powered motor, it is surprisingly quiet – maybe it’s because of the durable sealed housing too.
Good Cutting Design
With a variety of cutting blades (slicing, grating, chopping etc), it’s so handy. Based on my testing result, the chopping and slicing is very even and consistent with no motor trouble at all. This machine is definitely very efficient in performing delicate (such as shredding vegetable leaves) or harder (like chopping nuts) tasks.
As you know this machine comes with 2 bowls for your convenience. However, other users stated that there is a leakage from the mini-bowl when you try to put it into the big bowl.
Anyway, I think this minor issue shouldn’t discourage anyone from buying this machine.
Another obvious grouse would be the bulk of this machine, although it’s due to the high powered motor. There is a danger of over processing some mixtures as the blade does not stop at the same time when the “stop” button is pressed, hence the timing may be a bit out. If you think this fault affects the result, then you can learn to improvise by processing at more intervals with shorter pulses.
Best Food Processor
Personally, I think this is a great machine! When choosing a best food processor, I value the importance of its motor and the cutting design. I will check whether the motor is durable and powerful enough to handle tough jobs. And most importantly, it has to cut or chop things evenly. Eventually, this is the main reason why we buy a food processor in the first place. Well, I do like a storage box for the additional components which are dishwasher safe. In fact, everything must be easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
Anyway, if you are thinking about getting this KitchenAid food processor, it comes with 1 year warranty, weighs 24 lbs and 15 1/8 inches and available in empire red, white and Onyx black colors in Amazon.
I cook a lot and I really like this powerful, quiet and well designed KitchenAid food processor! For anyone looking for a food processor, this one definitely should be right on top of the list!

Food Processor VS Blender

Food certainly takes a lot of form. It may be solid or liquid; big or small; smooth or rugged. There is a wide variety of kitchen appliances available in the market. All will be of great help in your kitchen journey. All will help you make a good meal to satisfy your cravings.
Preparing the perfect meal takes time and it also needs the perfect tool or appliance to make it. But when trying to shred things into small pieces or just simply mixing things together, which tool would be more efficient – A Food processor versus Blender
Well, it turns out that one complements the other. They have different functions that would help solve your different kitchen dilemmas. What the food processor can’t achieve, the blender will happily accomplish for you. But of course, it boils down to what you usually do inside the kitchen.

 

Food processor versus blender

Are you the type who likes to have smoothies and shakes during a hot day? Or are you that person who enjoys chopping and slicing fruits and vegetables? Or are you a special mix of both? Whatever you choose that is what all up to you.
If you want to try and grate, chop, shred, slice or mix food that is hard, the food processor is your ally and go-to friend every time you are in the kitchen. It can easily achieve anything that you are having a hard time doing with your knife. Some of the things the food processor is great at doing are the following: making dough, grating cheese and chopping nuts. So if you usually eat meals involving the said ingredients then it would be wise to keep a food processor at hand in your own kitchen.
But if you are someone who likes to experiment around with food – It would be nice if you would have both a food processor and a blender in your kitchen so you wouldn’t have a hard time preparing meals that you would serve to your loved ones or just simply enjoy yourself. Less hassle for you and more fun for your hungry tummy! Just be a bit cautious in keeping both the food processor and the blender. Doing so would mean that you would have to face its advantages, as well as disadvantages. You just have to decide upon yourself which of the two you could bear more – the advantages or the disadvantages of having both appliances in your kitchen.
So if you’re still thinking of throwing out either your food processor or blender, think again. They may seem to do the same thing but always remember that things are not always what they seem. If kitchen space is your problem, you can always store one of them in a cabinet and just bring it out whenever you would need a job to be done. Just leave the one you use most frequently on your kitchen tabletop so that you can easily access it whenever you need to.
If you really want to keep just one, either a food processor or a blender, just weigh your options. You have the blender that is excellent at mixing and liquefying food while on the hand, the food processor is amazing at slicing, chopping and grating different types of food. Which one do you often do while in the kitchen? Is it the former or the latter?
The food processor and the blender perform specific functions and are the perfect kitchen tools for varying situations. Just take note of when to use a food processor and when to use a blender so you would not have any second thoughts on throwing anything out the door.
