Review on 🍲 Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper: 8 Cup, Black - Slice, Shred, Mince, and Puree with Ease! by Alexandergraham Visoro

I can't believe this thing is only $28. I've never owned a food processor in my life - I always had this weird thing where I had to grind everything by hand. And I cook A LOT. But in the end, the falafel got in my way—I had a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid that just won't cut it, and my blender won't cut it for hummus, which I also love and make regularly. Either way, these simple dishes took too long to prepare and made a huge mess. So I decided to experiment with a food processor. This thing had great reviews so I figured it would probably be a good test subject. I had a load of soaked chickpeas on deck and ready to go when this thing arrived in the mail (oh I love Prime. As close as you can get). instant gratification). The first thing I threw in was a large bunch of cilantro and parsley. Packed to the brim. It is crushed into perfectly homogeneous pieces in seconds. I think I screamed. She took out the vegetables and tossed five cloves of garlic next to them. It is immediately crushed into fairly even pieces, the size of which can be obtained by cutting by hand. Then I added two giant jalapenos and some onions. They disappear after five seconds. Here I am sharing before and after pics of sliced food with my sister and boyfriend who are laughing at me. After all, I'm 27 years old, not that I've never come into contact with modern technology. Finally, I removed the previously mentioned ingredients and made the beans. Surprisingly they didn't stick, the whole beans didn't float to the top and the bottom layer turned to mush, but I think I cooked about 4-5 cups of whole beans at a time and let them sit for 45-60 minutes. Seconds and the falafels were perfectly ground with excellent particle size uniformity and cohesion. You were my best match. Ever since then I've thrown things in it willy-nilly just to try out the chopping disc and chopping knife. Made some almond and hazelnut flour from raw nuts. I cut up a whole bunch of celery and beets, cabbage and onions with a shredding disc. My favorite things: - It's a dope guardian and easy to snap onto the base with one hand. - Easy to clean - The cleavers are well positioned so the food is pulled towards the top of the blade and all your stuff gets an even cut. 8 cups is perfect. I think 10 cups would be too much for everything. I've easily cooked portions large enough for 10 people of that size. The only thing that bothers me is the processor. It only has two speeds: 1 "Really High" and 2 "Insanely High". The Pulse feature pulses on Crazy High. So you can't cut things like greens very roughly. - It is very loud. Think: you put your face directly on the vacuum cleaner. Or a cheap hand mixer with maximum speed. If you live in an apartment, your neighbors will definitely know when you work. Then again, it'll only be for a few seconds because damn this thing is powerful. Due to the high speeds, it is difficult to get an even cut when chopping small/soft items such as spring onions or cucumbers. cutting disc. It's so fast that once the spring onion has passed the point where you can manually insert it into the chute, it's simply sucked in and shredded at every angle it hits the cutting blade. So I had a bunch of scallions with perfectly tiny cross-sections and a bunch of long, thin strips of scallions that were cut lengthwise instead of axially. With tougher foods like onions, beets, and cabbage, this wasn't a problem. That I was so sliced (If anyone has any ideas for maneuvering please post a comment!) If I could change anything I would set it to low speed. However, that doesn't change my overall admiration for this amazing contraption. This is outstanding quality and super performance for its price. I am very, very happy with this purchase. $30 well spent.
