Food processors for raw food

Food processors for raw food

One for everything: In contrast to high-performance mixers, hand mixers and food processors, high-quality food processors are true all-rounders and are particularly suitable for heavy or monotonous work when cooking and baking. The all-round appliance can be used to knead heavy bread dough as well as grate and puree vegetables by hand. This not only saves you time, but also a lot of space, as a food processor combines the functions of many appliances in one.

What features should a raw food processor have?

Originally developed for kneading dough, the all-rounder food processor has evolved over time. There are now many models and accessories that go far beyond mere kneading. When buying a food processor for raw food, you should therefore pay attention to various factors.

Capacity

The capacity depends largely on how many people the appliance is designed for. You should reckon with at least one litre per person and, if in doubt, purchase a larger container. If you want to prepare your own bread recipes and the like, you should expect the food processor to hold at least 2 kg of dough for four people.

Capacity

Basically, the larger the capacity, the more watts the food processor needs. Especially in the raw food kitchen, hard chopped ingredients often need to be grated. This requires a correspondingly high motor power so that the food processor can process everything evenly and without generating too much heat. For heavy bread doughs and hard sliced products, the food processor for raw vegetables should have a power of at least 900 watts. At Keimling you will only find high-quality food processors with at least 1,100 watts of power, stable planetary mixing systems and various speed levels for optimum use in the raw food kitchen.

Accessories

Food processors usually come with a dough hook, a beater and a whisk as standard. This is enough to make everything from classic sponge cakes to heavy bread dough.

If you want to replace several appliances with the food processor, you should find out in advance about possible attachments and uses. At Keimling you will find various accessories to go with high-quality food processors for raw food, for example

• Pasta attachments
• Various vegetable cutters (slicer, grater, grater)
• Citrus press
• Grain mill
• Spiral cutter
• blender

Advantages of a food processor

High-quality food processors automate work that would otherwise be very time-consuming and labour-intensive to do by hand or with many different individual appliances, for example kneading dough, chopping coarse cuttings or grinding grain. By combining many different functions in one appliance, food processors are true space savers. A food processor proves to be a real advantage, especially in kitchens with little work space, as many different appliances such as a high-performance blender, hand mixer and vegetable grater are replaced by one compact appliance.

Another plus point is the time saved when using a food processor. The timer integrated in most appliances allows the appliance to work reliably for the preset time while you can get on with other things.

Cleaning the food processor for raw food

A food processor can be wiped clean with a damp cloth after each use. Wipe off larger soiling with warm water and washing-up liquid.

It is best to rinse used accessories such as the blender jug, whisk and mixing bowls, vegetable slicer and similar items immediately after use to avoid stubborn stains such as dried-on food residue. Most accessories can be put in the dishwasher for even easier cleaning.
