Tips on Choosing a Food Processor

A food processor makes the work that goes in preparing to cook dishes, simpler, be it for the main course, or dessert or even soup. Food processors come with different attachments as well, which make it useful for other things as well like kneading the dough, making juices, soups etc. They also save lot of time and energy used in cutting, chopping, slicing etc of fruits, vegetables etc.

Baby Food Processor

While buying a food processor, there are certain things that should be considered. The first thing is the capacity of the processor. This should be decided, depending upon the number of people that cooking is to be done for, so as to save time and serve the purpose of buying a processor. Several capacities are available in the market for processors, with the smallest one coming to about 1.4L and increasing to 3L in capacity. It is better to have an idea of the size, as otherwise it might be a waste of money to buy a bigger one, or time would be consumed more, in case a smaller one is purchased.

Baby Food Processor

The next thing to be checked is the power that is required to run the machine. Processors can have wattage from about 400W to 1100W; the more the wattage, the greater the performance and speed. A high wattage motor will also have a capacity to do heavier jobs. It is better to buy a processor with 750W or more, for efficient working and longevity.

The blades are the next feature to be taken care of. There are various types, shapes and sizes of blades that are available as attachments to the processor. Depending upon the need and necessity, these blades can be bought and used. The more discs and blades that the processor has the more efficient and cost effective the product is.

The next thing to be taken care of is the fact if the parts are dishwasher-safe or not. Sometimes, certain makes are unsafe to be used in dishwashers. Also certain blades etc could be problematic to be washed in the dishwashers. It is necessary to check out if it is ok to wash in a dishwasher or not. This helps in cleaning the parts easily.

The versatility of the processor has to be taken into consideration as well. It is better to choose a processor that has the capacity to perform multitasking at the same time. This feature proves to be very useful and effective to save time. For example, some processors have small bullet blender that can perform many duties at the same time, thus saving time and being cost efficient. There are also processors that have extra attachments like juicer, citrus fruit extractor, dough kneader etc.

Safety is an important aspect while buying any product. It is necessary to check that all the parts are fitted perfectly and also the parts are not very fragile and easily breakable. Features like interlocking lids, nonslip grip etc, are important so that the food does not spill out while the machine is working and also the processor parts stay in place while working.

The warranty of an electronic product is a very important thing in order to ensure that the whole unit or a part of it would be replaced in case of a manufacturing defect or any other problem, within the warranty period at least; the more the warranty period, the better and long lasting the product.

A food processor comes in different prices and ranges. If a bit of research is done, then products which cost less but have a wonderful performance can be got. Some processors also come with recipe books, spatula etc, which would be mentioned in the pack of the processor. It is necessary to check out that all the attachments are carefully packed before buying the product and bringing it home.

Add Seasonings to Your Homemade Baby Food and Bring on the Flavor

Sugar and spice and everything nice? Sure, but without the sugar. By all means add a pinch of ginger, cinnamon, rosemary, garlic powder and more to your homemade baby food purees. This is what making homemade baby food is all about! Giving your baby fresh food with a variety of herbs and spices will surely make transitioning to eating the family's food easy.

Baby Food Processor

There are so many different herbs and spices to try, but be sure that the spices you choose are not spicy hot. Ground herbs and spices such as ground rosemary or ground ginger are the best options. You can also save a bundle by buying your spices from Costco or Sam's Club over traditional grocery stores. It is never recommend to add sugar or salt to your babies diet.

Baby Food Processor

Some pediatricians recommend waiting until 8 months to give the baby spices. Some mothers disagree. Please check with your pediatrician before trying anything new. And the "4 day wait" rule applies when introducing herbs and spices to be sure there aren't any allergic reactions. Caution: Not all of these recipes will be appropriate for some infants due to an infants age. You may substitute or leave out ingredients as you need.

Here are a few combination's to try:

Green Beans with Garlic & Onion Powder

Cornish Hen with Ground Rosemary

Chicken with Cinnamon Apples

Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon & Nutmeg

Garlic Potatoes with dill & parsley

Tuna with Paprika

Pear with vanilla

Bananas with Ginger

What is "4 day wait"?

When introducing new foods to your baby, many pediatrician's recommended to give the same food to your baby 4 days in a row so that you can easily pinpoint foods that may cause an allergic reaction.

Types of Baby Food a Growing Baby Should Eat

There are so many types of food that you can give to your baby. Depending on the baby's age, they can eat the provided foods at the right time of age. Some mothers want to know what they give to the baby. This is the time to open the internet and try searching the types of food that babies eat. If you have found one then good for you, this will help you in your quest in feeding your baby the healthiest food there is. Here are the types of food that you should give to your growing baby. Put in mind first that the foods that you are giving to the baby must be cleaned and cooked right before serving it.

Baby Food Processor

Have you thought of serving your baby cucumber? But instead of the baby eating it clean off the plate, they don't want any of it? Cucumbers are not an easy food to feed to the baby but here are some tips what you should do with a cucumber to make it more interesting for the baby to eat. All you need is yogurt, 7 tablespoons of chopped garlic(depends on your taste later on), 1/2 cup of blended cucumber. Peel the cucumber first before you blend it, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Mix them well in a mixing bowl until you see it to be really thick and tasty. You then can feed it to your baby, your own special recipe.

Baby Food Processor

If your child is already six to almost nine months of age they can start eating a much interesting food. On this stage you can start giving your baby some grain products such as soft bread, crackers and toasts. You can give him some minced or grated veggies and fruits but be wary first and check if the baby has allergic reactions to it. Introduce the baby first with the fruits and vegetables, before going on to the next food group like sweet and minced meats.

By nine months your baby can eat bite sized foods like apples, oranges, veggies and meat. You can also alternate the milk into juice once in a while. Since the baby is ready to eat some of the food you can give him are diary products that come from cows or much better if you have a farm you can let him taste the milk of a goat. Be sure that you have known the allergies and dislikes of the baby before you go and giving him foods. Be safe and caring to the baby. He or she needs you most, so take care of him with your best.

Cyber Monday Cuisinart MM-2M Mini Mate Chopper / Grinder Specifications

The Mini-Mate makes quick work of small kitchen prep jobs that might otherwise require difficult and messy chopping, grinding, and grating: nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks, peppercorns and seeds, garlic and anchovies, even chocolate and citrus peel. With a patented reversible blade for sharp or blunt processing, and two speeds of operation, it is well equipped to handle a variety of jobs.

Though it has a high-speed motor and durable stainless-steel motor shaft, keep in mind that the Mini-Mate is designed for small amounts of food: 2 tablespoons is the maximum recommended for one batch, and food pieces should be no larger than 1/2 inch. Purchase it to complement, not replace, a larger, full-function food processor. An instruction book that accompanies the processor details how to process many common foods and troubleshoot problems so you know how to best use and care for your Mini Mate.

Cleanup and completion of small jobs is quicker and more efficient because of the small size, though the many parts of the Mini Mate require disassembly, careful cleaning, and reassembly, which does add to total cleaning time. If you don't have the time or the patience for smaller detail-oriented prep jobs, Mini Mate is a great kitchen aid. --Emily Wolf

Food Processing Techniques

The food processor was invented during the early 1970's, to the thanks of cooks everywhere. The food processor, while not revolutionary, certainly saved restaurant chefs and home cooks large amounts of tedious prep work, like chopping, cutting, slicing and pureeing. Today, these machines are utility workhorses in many well equipped kitchens and chop and slice fruits and vegetables, make dough, and mix various ingredients all with the simple and easy push of a button. No more tired arms and forearms!

Baby Food Processor

A processor is a valuable kitchen investment. Prices on processors typically range from about to 0 and beyond. Investing that amount of money in a labor saving device is wise, assuming the processor lasts for a long period of time. Here are some processing tips and techniques that will help produce great meals and prolong the efficiency and use of your unit:

Baby Food Processor

When adding food into the processor, it is best to leave enough room in the work bowl for the food to be whirled and processed around. This will be easier on the processor's motor and also lead to more consistently processed food. Processing consistently sized food will also be gentle on the machine and lead to more uniform processed food. For example, process food chunks that are all similar in size like 1 to 2 inches. Do not process 4 inch size pieces with 1 inch size pieces. Food processors can chop, slice, mix and grate almost any food. However, it is not recommended to process the following food and items in the unit: grain, coffee, frozen meat, ice cubes and hard spices. Do not operate the processor for extended periods of time. This can be detrimental to its motor. Most foods can be easily processed in seconds. It is recommended to operate a food processor for up to a minute at a time. Short pulse bursts are usually best. If processing large quantities of food, let the motor rest between 1 minute processing intervals.
