Hit me with your food processor ideas

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

Sorry if this has been done to death....we just impulse bought a Magimix Compact (primarily because I tried making hummus with a hand blender at the weekend and it went EVERYWHERE!)

Arrived today, so far we have managed to grate cheese with it 😂 Plan to make soup as well, this is something I would have used a hand blender for before. Also smoothies.

What else do you use your food processors for? It does look pretty and shiny on my kitchen counter but would like to actually use it!

Doughs and batters. So bread & pizza and all cakes etc.
Quick coleslaw. Milkshakes, slushies....

As well as soup, I use mine for:
Falafel
Pasta sauces
Carrots for carrot cake (better texture than grating)
Salad dressings
Nut roast

Mine makes the best pastry. Don't make it often these days but it's far superior to shop bought.

Chopping onions! 😭😂

Pesto
Baba ganoush
Cakes
Pastry

Guacamole
Pesto

Pastry! I make industrial quantities of pesto in mine too. Does it have the slicing attachment? That's very useful when you're making a potato gratin or something like that.

Falafel
Peanut butter
Courgette fritters
Granola bars

Am still investigating all of the attachments but yeah I'm sure it has a slicer.

Cakes. My Magimix is 31 years old!

My Magimix is 31 years old!

Mine's 35!

I think I made a good investment then!

I used mine to make chicken burgers tonight- delicious!

I made a great dip in mine today, vacuum packed beetroot with horseradish and natural yoghurt. Delicious.

Mine sits on the side gathering dust (hangs head). It's the thought of all the washing up that puts me off, I've got a stick blender for soups and I use a bowl and electric whisk for cakes. There's only 2 of us so never need loads of onions etc.

Bread
Bisque
Mayonnaise / bearnaise
Stuffing
Curry paste
Pesto

I could go on!! Maybe start with the recipe book it comes with? Magixmix’ are ace.

Hummus
Crumble topping
