Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper Review

The Hamilton Beach Bowl Scraper Food Processor offers a unique built-in scraper that eliminates the need to stop and remove the lid to dislodge food from the side of the bowl. This feature allows for continuous processing, making food preparation more convenient and efficient.

Kitchen tips for using this food processor include starting with uniform pieces of food for a more consistent result. It is recommended to cut food into 1-inch pieces before using the chopping/mixing blade and to leave enough room in the bowl for the food to move around. Pulsing the processor on and off typically yields the best chopping results, while most foods can be quickly sliced, chopped, or shredded in just seconds.

For cheese slicing or shredding, it's best to use firm cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss that have been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Soft cheeses such as Mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure they are firm enough for shredding.

Additionally, all removable parts of the Hamilton Beach Food Processor are top rack dishwasher safe, making cleanup effortless.

Conclusion

The Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper is a versatile kitchen appliance that simplifies food preparation with its built-in bowl scraper and efficient processing capabilities. By following a few simple tips, users can achieve great results whether slicing, shredding, mincing, or pureeing. The easy clean-up process further enhances its convenience, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
