Food processors entered the life of consumers forever. The dynamically developing market currently offers interesting devices in various price categories: from one hundred to several hundred dollars. How to track down truly reliable equipment in this proposal?
Food processor power
In stores you can find models that offer from 500 watts to more than 2000 watts. What is the difference? First of all, the time of work. A simple robot with low power can work only 5-10 minutes in one load. Therefore, it is worth buying to make sure that the equipment you are interested in will live up to your expectations in this matter, especially since especially low-cost kitchen appliances break disappointingly. It is assumed that for small and medium-sized devices the optimal power value ranges from 800-1000 watts. Large kitchen robots can be considered on the principle of "the more the better."
Revs
Small, simple food processors rarely offer more than 200 rpm. For basic applications this is enough. However, if performance should be a key attribute, then you should choose devices that can operate at a speed of at least 300 revolutions. For advanced harvesters, the best criterion for choosing will be the levels of speed, they should not be less than five. A nice addition is the presence of a pulse exposure mode, the main purpose of which is the destruction of products that the device could not cope with in rotation mode.
Bowl volume and material
The issue of bowl size is very controversial. It all depends mainly on individual expectations regarding the food processor. A much more important issue is the design of the vessel. It is best that it be aluminum, or made of stainless steel. According to many experts, the best and most stable material is stainless steel. Various plastic vessels should be avoided. Saving on this important element can have fatal consequences.
Security Precautions
Having decided to purchase a food processor, you should look at the leaflet or ask the seller if it meets the following safety standards:
- protection against removal of mixers;
- overheat protection;
- protection against an unclosed cover.
