Russell Hobbs 24732 Desire Food Processor, 1.5 Litre Food Mixer with 5 Chopping, Slicing and Dough Attachments, Matte Black, 600 W

Product Information

The Easy Prep Pro isn’t perfect – its buttons are big and bulky, plus you have to hit the Off control rather than just the High or Low to stop it, which isn’t terribly intuitive. There’s also no dedicated storage for the discs or large chopping blade (though the mini bowl and blade store inside), meaning they could end up becoming blunt sooner than they should. Use a food processor’s wattage as a rough guide to its power. Remember that how a food processor is designed can have as much bearing on its performance. More watts won’t always mean it’s a better machine but anything over 650W should have enough muscle for most tasks. Are food processors easy to clean? The Russell Hobbs Desire Food Processor has two speeds and a pulse setting, which is very high power and can create smooth sauces easily. It also features a creaming disk, which really impressed us when we used it to make mayonnaise, although it is better used with large quantities thanks to the wide base of the bowl.

There is an incremental speed dial for processing plus a pulse. The range of blades will suit both the keen chef and those who like to batch cook. An extra-wide feed tube accommodated every vegetable without much chopping beforehand. Other features of note are a 30-minute eco mode, and a storage box for the blades, ensuring that they stay as sharp as possible.Storage is a key consideration if your food processor comes with lots of kit. Look for designs that allow you to store tools inside the bowl or that come with boxes or cases. Multi by name and by nature, if you want a food processor that handles almost every part of your prep, this is it. The MultiPro Express Food Processor comes with a huge amount of functionality and kit – so there’s a tool for almost any food preparation job, but you’ll have to find somewhere to put it all. Powered by a 600W motor and with a variety of attachments, using the processor is like having a sous chef in your kitchen. Included are Stainless Steel blades, Slicing/shredding disk, Dough blade, Creaming disk, 1.5L plastic jug blender and a 2.5L work bowl (with 1.5L usable capacity). Whether you need to The Easy Prep Pro answers this need nicely – it’s more of a day-to-day appliance rather than one you haul out every so often. Plus it’s lightweight and compact enough to move around the kitchen as required. Its two bowls – a main 1.9-litre and mini 700ml – plus matching chopping blades and two reversible slicing/grating discs, are all dishwasher safe. One of the defining features of modern food processors is how much kit they can potentially come with. Standard accessories include a chopping blade for dicing, mixing, mashing and puréeing. There will be a dough hook for kneading, which works by stretching the dough rather than slicing through it. Then there might be one or two discs with a spindle, which will shred, slice and grate cheese and vegetables.

The right one for you will depend on your cooking preferences. We've tried some masterful and mighty models from Kenwood and Sage that will last for years to come, and are perfect for family-sized meals, but some of the smaller options from Magic Bullet and Russell Hobbs will do more than enough to keep smaller households happy. A lot of these come with attachments to double up as the best blenders, but if you already have a blender you love and just want a food processor, we've included those too. Storing discs and blades in a dedicated box means they’ll stay sharper and be more effective at chopping and shredding. Store them loose in a drawer and they'll gradually become blunter from rubbing against other items. What speed settings do I need on my food processor? Some food processors may also be able to double up as a stand mixer, blender or mini chopper, making them a better value all-in-one buy. Where will you store your food processor?

Nothing can save you more time in the kitchen than the best food processor. These handy home choppers can slice, chop, grate, and even mix homemade dough hands-free. Food processors come with sharp blades to slice through onions, carrots or avocados in seconds, and they often have pulse settings that can be used to make dips like hummus or guacamole.Each and every one of the best food processors in our guide has been tested by the Ideal Hometeam for even chopping, ease of use, and (of course) the cleaning process after you're done. Although some food processors do take up a lot of counter space, especially the ones with attachments for blending or even juicing, others will slot easily next to your toaster until you need it. We would have liked another disc for larger slicing, because the slicing side of the disc is quite fine and not suitable for large shavings of cheese or vegetables. We also found that there was a little of whatever we sliced (be it courgette or cheddar) left at the very top of the blade, because the pusher doesn't quite fit all the way down into the bowl. What the Ninja 3-in-1 Food Processor with Auto-IQ BN800UK does excel in is smart features. It has a blend, chop, puree, and mix setting, as well as a pulse button and three strengths for blending. These programs mean you can simply press to chop or mix depending on your desired outcome, and the process is pre-timed and hands-free. You could even get set on the crudites for your new pureed dip. chop vegetables for soups, mince garlic for stir fries or process nuts for desserts, this nifty processor can do them all. Your handy little kitchen helper, this Russell Hobbs Desire Food Processor will make all your food prep tasks effortless. From chopping, slicing, dicing, shredding, beating or even creaming, this versatile food processor takes care of the food prep so you can spend less time in the kitchen.

As well as built-in scales and a weighing plate, it comes with several slicing and grating discs, knife blade, dough blade, whisk, folding tool, mini bowl, grinder, blender jug and even a citrus press for on-demand OJ. The mini bowl fits inside the main one, and, crucially, has a seal around the edge to stop food spilling out, so when we chopped herbs, there was only one bowl to wash, not two. A separate recipe book has some ideas to get you started, but as you might expect, most of them are basics, such as pesto, mayonnaise, coleslaw, bread and pizza. Decide where your food processor will live. If it’ll be on display on the worktop, you may want to spend a little more on a model you’re happy to have on display or that coordinates with your kitchen. However, keen cooks and those who like to make batches for the freezer will get more use from the extra kit. All attachments fit comfortable into the dishwasher, and while there is only an On, Off and Pulse setting, these are incredibly powerful and fast. Our one reservation was that there is no way of slowing down for rougher chops. For this, it's best to use the pulse setting in short spurts.Other food processor accessories can include a blender jug, midi and/or mini bowls that nestle inside the main bowl and have their own blades to chop smaller quantities of nuts, herbs or chocolate with less washing-up. A citrus press may be included. What food processor bowl size do I need? It performed similarly well when using the blade in the main bowl to liquidise vegetable soup. The BlenderMix ring helped to deflect the liquid down towards the blade, rather than it splashing up into the processor lid, so that after two minutes it was smooth. Another advantage is that the bowl can blend hot liquids, so there was no need to cool the soup to room temperature before processing. A final reason to buy is that it’s dishwasher-safe. In tests, it performed well – our carrot was grated uniformly, and we made a springy bread dough easily with the blade and a combination of the pulse and low settings. The machine whined and shook a little as the dough came together, and some crept inside the tool, but overall, our loaf rose well. It’s good value, too.
